HW-group WLD A Prolong Cable

Water leaks and uncontrolled water ingress represent a considerable risk for technical infrastructures. Whether in data centers, server rooms, or industrial facilities – moisture and leaking liquids can cause immense damage in just a short time. Effective protection against water ingress therefore relies on precise leakage monitoring. The WLD A Prolong Cable from HW-group is an indispensable solution for flexibly expanding detection systems and sustainably increasing the safety of your critical facilities.

The HW-group WLD A Prolong Cable is an extension cable for water sensor chains that significantly extends the range of existing systems. It is used as a non-sensitive connection cable between sensitive water sensor cables and monitoring units. This allows coverage to be extended up to 185 meters without reducing the accuracy of leak detection. With its simple handling and high reliability, this accessory provides a cost-efficient way to expand water leak detection to large areas.

Especially in sensitive environments such as server rooms or data centers, a reliable early warning system against water ingress is indispensable. Even a minor leak from an air conditioning unit or pipeline can cause operational interruptions, short circuits, or data loss. This is where the HW-group WLD A Prolong Cable proves its strengths: it ensures that water leak detectors can be installed exactly at the points where the risk of liquid intrusion is highest.

Another advantage is the simple installation: the WLD A Prolong Cable can be quickly laid under raised floors, routed along pipelines, or attached to walls. The robust design ensures long service life even under demanding conditions. In combination with water sensor cables and HW-group monitoring technology, a highly flexible and reliable water protection system is created.

Technical Features of the WLD A Prolong Cable

• Standard length up to 5 meters, combinable up to a total of 100 meters of extension cable
• Maximum range up to 185 meters (with 85 meters of sensor cable)
• Non-sensitive cable: used exclusively for range extension
• Compatible with HW-group devices such as WLD2, NB-WLD, SD-WLD, and WLD Relay 1W-UNI
• Easy installation with adhesive tape or clips
• Durable, flexible, and robust construction for industrial and IT environments

Advantages in Water Leak Protection

• Early detection of water leaks through optimally positioned sensor points
• Cost-efficient expansion of existing water leak early warning systems
• Flexibility through combination of water chain extension cable and water sensor cable
• Optimized protection for data centers, industrial facilities, and building technology
• Reduced risks of downtime and equipment damage caused by water ingress

Areas of Application for the WLD A Prolong Cable

• Server rooms and data centers: Protects hardware and data against water damage caused by defective cooling systems or leaking pipes.
• Industrial facilities: Secures production areas against leaks from process fluids or coolants.
• Building and facility technology: Ideal for basements, archives, and warehouses where water ingress is often detected late.
• Critical infrastructure: Protects sensitive facilities such as laboratories, archives, or medical rooms where water damage could have catastrophic effects.

Integration into the HW-group Monitoring Ecosystem

The WLD A Prolong Cable is fully integrable into the HW-group monitoring network. With platforms such as SensDesk (paid), functions such as alarm notifications, graphical analyses, PDF reports, and an open API are available. In combination with water leak detectors and other HW-group components, this creates a flexible, scalable system for comprehensive water protection and preventive leakage detection.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation only requires connecting the cable between a sensor cable and a monitoring device or between two sensor cables. Important: at the end of each sensor chain, a terminator must be installed. If the system reports a fault, it is advisable to check this termination. Thanks to its robust design, the prolong cable can be used for many years in demanding environments.

How far can the HW-group WLD A Prolong Cable be extended?

With up to 100 meters of extension cable and 85 meters of sensor cable, a total length of 185 meters is possible.

Does the Prolong Cable itself detect water leaks?

No, the Prolong Cable is a non-sensitive cable. It serves solely to extend the range between detecting sensor cables and the monitoring units.

Which environments benefit the most from its use?

Data centers, server rooms, industrial facilities, and building technology installations in particular benefit greatly from this system, where water damage could cause high costs.
