Patented Protection From Even The Smallest Leaks
RLE’s conductive fluid leak detection sensing cable (SC) reliably detects the presence of water leaks and other conductive fluids. It’s one of our hallmark products, and we’ve held the patent for this cable since 2000.
RLE’s conductive fluid sensing cable is:
-
- Durable – manufactured with an abrasion-resistant polymer core, increasing strength and durability. Definitely stands up to foot traffic!
-
- Flexible – easily bends around corners and wraps around pipes, resisting bends and kinks.
-
- Resists False Alarms – engineered to resist contamination and constructed from non-conductive polymers, eliminating false alarms!
-
- Quick to Install – each end of the cable contains mating connectors – this makes it easy to install new systems and to add lengths of cable to existing systems.
-
- Easy to Clean – when it’s visibly dirty, clean it quickly with Dawn dish soap or rubbing alcohol. No special cleaners or cleaning systems required.
-
- Fast Drying – gently wipe the cable dry, and it’s ready to detect the next leak.
Orange fluid leak detection sensing cables are available in a variety of lengths:
- 3ft (0.91m) – SC-3
- 10ft (3.05m) – SC-10
- 17ft (5.18m) – SC-17
- 25ft (7.62m) – SC-25
- 50ft (15.24m) – SC-50
- 100ft (30.48m) – SC-100
- Custom Lengths (available upon request) – SC-CL
With over 20 million feet of leak detection sensing cable installed in systems around the globe, you can’t beat the durability or reliability of our leak detection sensing cables.

Application Guidelines
Our conductive fluid sensing cable is designed to detect conductive fluids, like water and glycol.
If you are trying to detect non-conductive fluids, like pure de-ionized water, gasoline, diesel fuel, or hydraulic oil, this cable will not work.
Annual Maintenance
Has your cable been installed for a while? You may need to test your system. Depending on your environment, systems should be tested at least once a year. The more hazardous or dirty the environment, the more frequently it should be tested. Refer to our Sensing Cable Care and Maintenance Guidelines and learn how to clean your cables and test your system.
