Temperature Sensor - Waterproof (DS18B20)

Hi I am seeking advice on if its ok to extend the cable length (75ohm) of the sensor or is there an aftermarket extension cable compatible with this device with suitable connectors?
Regards

Hi @Glenn166615 - i’ve run these devices with pretty long (unshielded!) cables before without any signal breakdown if that helps. In that case I just used soldered connections. I’m unsure what 1-Wire is rated for but it depends on your application how acceptable it will be to just give it a try :slight_smile:

I hope that helps, let us know your thoughts!

Hi Glenn,

I ran a few of these spaced out over 50m of CAT6 and although they failed over time (lightning?) they were able to signal properly when commisioned.

Thanks for the quick reply
