Vented Cables contain power and communication wires, as well as a vent tube running the length of the cable. Vented Cables provide direct read communication from the LevelVent 5 or AquaVent 5 logger to the Wellhead. The vent tube and wires are jacketed in polyurethane, providing durability and protection. The cable is 8 mm (0.320") in diameter, while the connectors are 20 mm (0.790") in diameter.
Note:
Before the Vented Cables are shipped, the vent tubes are blown dry with nitrogen gas, and capped, to ensure no moisture during transport.
Vented Cables are custom-built to length. Lengths up to 500 feet are available.

Note:
Older style Vented Cables (sold before 4/16/21 with serial numbers lower than 506326) are not compatible with newer style LevelVent 5 Wellheads (sold after 4/14/21 with serial numbers 495959 and up), LevelVent 5 loggers (sold after 4/5/21), AquaVent 5 Wellheads (sold after 7/5/21), and AquaVent 5 loggers (sold after 4/5/21) without a small user modification – contact Solinst for instructions.
Newer style Vented Cables are compatible with all versions of the Wellheads and loggers – after the new Vented Cable connector is fully tightened, the external o-ring on an old logger or Wellhead is visible and it is normal not to seat against the connector.
