ACC-CABLES

Supported Applications

The Omega ACC-CABLES series provides input/output cable assemblies designed for dynamic sensors, power supplies, and instrumentation. These cables serve as interface connections between dynamic sensor families (including ACC, DPX, and DLC) and measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, computers, analyzers, data loggers, panel meters, and multimeters.

Typical system configurations utilize these assemblies to connect:

• Dynamic sensors to power supplies
• Power supplies (e.g., ACC-PS) to instrumentation devices

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series consists of coaxial cable assemblies and copper wire configurations tailored for signal transmission in dynamic measurement systems. Specific performance metrics such as accuracy, response time, or operating temperature limits are not provided in the source documentation; selection is based on connector compatibility and physical dimensions.

Cable Specifications

• Coaxial Cable Diameter: 4.8 mm (0.190") for most models; 2.0 mm (0.080") for ACC-CB2-10.
• Copper Wire Gauge: 20 AWG copper wire used in the ACC-CB6 pigtail assembly.

Connector Types

The series supports a range of connector interfaces including BNC Female, BNC Male, 10-32 Male Plug, 4 Pin 1/4-28 Male Plug, 4-Pin ¼-28 Female Plug, Banana Plugs, and Pigtail configurations.

Configuration Options

The ACC-CABLES series is organized into two primary functional groups: Power Supply/Accelerometer Interface Cables and Power Supply/Instrumentation Interface Cables. The model number guide follows the format ACC-CB<digit>-<digit>, where the suffix indicates length or specific configuration.

Power Supply/Accelerometer Interface Cables

These models connect sensors to power supplies and include:

• ACC-CB1-6 / ACC-CB1-15: BNC Female (Connector A) to BNC Male (Connector B). Available in 1.83 m (6') or 4.58 m (15') lengths using 4.8 mm (0.190") Dia. coaxial cable.
• ACC-CB2-10: 10-32 Male Plug to BNC Male. Length is 3.05 m (10') with 2.0 mm (0.080") Dia. coaxial cable.
• ACC-CB3-6 / ACC-CB3-15: 4 Pin 1/4-28 Male Plug to 4-Pin ¼-28 Female Plug. Available in 1.83 m (6') or 4.58 m (15'). Uses 4.8 mm (0.190") Dia. coaxial cable specifically for triaxial accelerometers.

Power Supply/Instrumentation Interface Cables

These models connect power supplies to measurement instruments and include:

• ACC-CB4-6 / ACC-CB4-15: BNC Male to BNC Male. Available in 1.83 m (6') or 4.58 m (15'). Uses 4.8 mm (0.190") Dia. coaxial cable.
• ACC-CB5-2: BNC Male to Banana Plugs. Length is 0.61 m (2') with 4.8 mm (0.190") Dia. coaxial cable.
• ACC-CB6: BNC Male to Pigtail. Uses 20 AWG copper wire. The documented length for this model is listed as 0.18 m (7').

Key Product Differences

The primary distinctions within the ACC-CABLES series are defined by connector pairings and cable lengths, which determine whether a unit serves as an accelerometer interface or an instrumentation interface.

• Sensor-Side Interfaces: Models such as ACC-CB1, ACC-CB2, and ACC-C3 feature connectors compatible with dynamic sensors (ACC, DPX, DLC) on one end and power supplies on the other. The ACC-CB3 series is specifically noted for use with triaxial accelerometers.
• Instrument-Side Interfaces: Models such as ACC-CB4, ACC-CB5, and ACC-CB6 connect power supply outputs to instruments like oscilloscopes or data loggers. Connector types vary from BNC-to-BNC (ACC-CB4) to Banana Plugs (ACC-CB5) and Pigtails (ACC-CB6).
• Length Options: Several models offer multiple length options, typically 1.83 m (6') or 4.58 m (15'), while others are fixed at specific lengths such as 0.61 m (2') or 3.05 m (10').
