Here we have the JRP 2-pin Temperature sensor extension cable in 3M (9.8ft), perfect solution for those requiring additional length for their Water Temp, Oil Temp, Trans Temp & IAT sensors. These extension cables are compatible with those sensors no matter if it’s our 14in1 kits, or our 52mm gauge kits. While our temp sensors come with a generous 2.5m length total as standard, some applications like buses, trucks, or other large vehicles may demand longer connections.
Rather than resorting to DIY extensions that risk compromising sensor accuracy, our extension cables are engineered to maintain precise readings. Temperature sensors rely on resistance-based measurements, which are highly sensitive to factors like wire type, crimp quality, and connection consistency. Improper extensions can lead to inaccurate readings, but with our extension cables, you can trust your setup to deliver consistent and reliable performance.
After rigorous testing by our head engineer, we’ve determined that using up to four of these 3m extension cables alongside the supplied 2.5m sensor cable provides a total length of up to 14.5m (47.5ft) without any loss in accuracy. This ensures you can extend your sensor's reach confidently while maintaining the high standards you expect from JRP.
Whether you're outfitting a bus, truck, or other long-wheelbase vehicle, these extension cables provide a hassle-free, accurate solution for your temperature sensor installation.
Why Use a JRP Extension Cable?
Many temperature sensors including ours are resistance-based sensors like thermistors, which are sensitive to the type and quality of wiring used. If you attempt to extend these yourself using mismatched wire gauge or poor crimps, you can introduce resistance variations that alter the sensor readings. That can mean inaccurate readings being shown on your gauge.
To prevent this, our extension cables are:
- Made using matched gauge, high-quality wire
- Professionally crimped and terminated with our standardized sensor connectors
- Designed to preserve the integrity of resistance-based sensor signals
With JRP extensions, there’s no second-guessing if your readings are off due to wiring issues. Just plug them in and go.
