Amphenol FCI BASICS Liquid Cooling Leakage Detection Cables

Introduction

Amphenol FCI BASICS Liquid Cooling Leakage Detection Cables are sensor cable assemblies designed to help detect coolant leaks in liquid-cooled equipment. They provide an early warning method for leakage around cooling-system components, helping protect sensitive electronics and infrastructure.

Part Description

The BASICS leakage detection cable is intended for use in liquid cooling thermal-management systems. Its sensing construction is designed for high sensitivity to coolant leakage, while flexible insulation and a slim profile support installation in confined spaces.

These reusable cable assemblies can be positioned at likely leak locations, such as pipeline connections, fittings, manifolds, and low points within a chassis or enclosure. When integrated into an appropriate monitoring system, they can support quicker identification of coolant-related issues before they create larger equipment or operational problems.

Key characteristics include:

• Leak detection for liquid-cooling systems
• High-sensitivity sensing capability
• Flexible insulated cable construction
• Slim profile for space-constrained installations
• Reusable sensor cable assembly design
• Suitable for placement near connections and chassis low points

Usage Ideas

1. Server Rack Leak Monitoring
   Route the cable beneath liquid-cooled server connections and cooling manifolds to identify coolant accumulation at the bottom of the rack.

2. Battery Pack Cooling Protection
   Install sensor cable near battery cooling lines and connector points to support early detection of leaks in thermal-management assemblies.

3. Industrial Cabinet Safeguard
   Place the cable along the low point of a liquid-cooled inverter or control cabinet to monitor for leakage from internal pipes, fittings, or pumps.

Conclusion

Amphenol FCI BASICS Liquid Cooling Leakage Detection Cables provide a practical sensing option for monitoring coolant leaks in thermal-management equipment. Their sensitive, flexible, slim, and reusable design makes them suitable for installation around critical cooling connections and low points where leaks are most likely to collect.
