2.6 Splicing and Junction Boxes 

 

Because the vibrating wire output signal is a frequency rather than a current or voltage, 

variations in cable resistance have little effect on gauge readings. Therefore, splicing of cables 

has no effect, and in some cases may in fact be beneficial. For example, if multiple stressmeters 

are installed in a borehole, and the distance from the borehole to the terminal box or datalogger is 

great, a splice (or junction box) could be made to connect the individual cables to a single multi-

conductor cable. This multi-conductor cable would then be run to the readout station. For these 

types of installations, it is recommended that the stressmeter be supplied with enough cable to 

reach the installation depth, plus extra cable to pass through drilling equipment (rods, casing, 

etc.). 

 

Cable used for making splices should be a high quality twisted pair type, with 100% shielding 

and an integral shield drain wire. 

When splicing, it is very important that the shield drain 

wires be spliced together.

 Splice kits recommended by Geokon incorporate casts that are placed 

around the splice and then filled with epoxy to waterproof the connections. When properly made, 

this type of splice is equal or superior to the cable in strength and electrical properties. Contact 

Geokon for splicing materials and additional cable splicing instructions. 

  

Junction boxes and terminal boxes are available from Geokon for all types of applications. In 

addition, portable readouts and dataloggers are also available. Contact Geokon for specific 

application information.
