Phidget Cable 120cm 3038_0 Locking Multiconductor Cable by Phidgets

Description

Product Overview

The Phidget 3038_0 120 cm cable is engineered for precision and reliability in demanding industrial and scientific applications. Constructed from high‑grade, flexible PVC insulation, the cable houses multiple conductors that are individually shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean signal transmission. The integrated locking connector is a standout feature—it clicks firmly into place, preventing accidental disengagement even in high‑vibration environments. This design reduces downtime and protects sensitive equipment from data loss.

Measuring 120 cm (approximately 4 feet) in length, the cable offers ample reach for most VINT hub configurations while remaining compact enough for tight spaces. Its lightweight profile, at just 0.32 ounces, makes handling and routing straightforward, and the robust strain‑relief boot at each end adds extra durability against pulling forces. The cable complies with industry standards for multiconductor cables, delivering consistent performance across a wide temperature range.

Beyond its technical specifications, the Phidget cable is built with user convenience in mind. The connectors are color‑coded for quick identification, and the cable’s flexible jacket resists kinking, allowing installers to bend it around obstacles without compromising integrity. Whether you are connecting analog sensors, VINT devices, or integrating the cable into a larger automation system, the Phidget 3038_0 provides a dependable link that maintains signal fidelity.

Usage

This cable excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. In laboratory settings, researchers rely on its secure locking mechanism to keep data acquisition modules firmly attached during long‑duration experiments. In manufacturing plants, the cable’s rugged construction withstands exposure to dust, oil, and occasional mechanical stress, making it suitable for connecting VINT hubs to robotic controllers or PLCs. Field technicians appreciate the cable’s ease of installation; the connectors snap together without the need for tools, reducing setup time on site.

For hobbyists and educators, the Phidget cable simplifies prototyping with Phidget kits. Its compatibility with both analog input modules and VINT ports means a single cable can serve multiple purposes, from reading sensor data to controlling actuators. The 120 cm length provides flexibility in bench‑top projects while still fitting within compact enclosures. Additionally, the cable’s low capacitance and high shielding effectiveness make it ideal for applications where signal integrity is critical, such as precision temperature monitoring or vibration analysis.

When used in outdoor or harsh environments, the cable’s PVC jacket offers resistance to UV exposure and moisture, extending its service life. The locking connector prevents water ingress at the mating point, a common failure mode in exposed installations. Overall, the Phidget 3038_0 cable is a versatile solution for anyone needing a reliable, easy‑to‑use connection between VINT devices and other hardware.

FAQ

What devices can I connect with this cable?

The Phidget 3038_0 cable is compatible with any VINT‑enabled device, including Phidget hubs, analog sensor modules, and other peripherals that use the VINT interface. It also works with standard analog input ports on Phidget boards, allowing you to connect a wide range of sensors and actuators.

Is the cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The cable’s PVC insulation is UV‑resistant and moisture‑proof, and the locking connector provides a sealed mating point that helps keep out water and dust. While it is designed for outdoor environments, it should still be protected from extreme mechanical abuse.

How does the locking mechanism work?

The locking mechanism features a spring‑loaded latch that clicks into place when the connector is fully inserted. To release, you simply press the latch release tab and pull the connector apart. This design offers a secure connection without the need for additional tools.

Can I use this cable with other brands of equipment?

The connector follows the standard VINT pinout, so it is interoperable with any equipment that adheres to the VINT specification, regardless of brand. However, for optimal performance, we recommend using Phidget‑branded devices that have been tested with this cable.

What warranty does Phidgets provide for this cable?

Phidgets offers a one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. If you encounter any issues within the warranty period, contact our support team for a replacement or repair solution.
