Understanding Cable Selection

Struggling to choose the right cable for your vibration testing setup? Our team at The Modal Shop doesn’t just rent cables, we use them in our own in-house calibrations

In this quick video, I break down what we’ve learned about cable selection. I cover the top cable options for uniaxial vibration measurements in rental applications, along with tips you may not have considered, like weight, bend radius, and why “low noise” isn’t always what you need. Watch now!

Accelerate Your Vibration Testing with Smart, Plug-and-Play TEDS Sensors

Looking to eliminate guesswork and streamline your sensor setup? Discover how TEDS-enabled vibration sensors from The Modal Shop and PCB Piezotronics revolutionize noise and vibration testing across aerospace, automotive, industrial, and research environments.

These intelligent sensors store key calibration data right on board, enabling instant recognition and configuration with your DAQ system. Say goodbye to manual data entry, reduce setup time, and boost data integrity – especially in high-channel-count systems. Whether for short-term rentals or long-term testing, The Modal Shop offers a vast inventory of NIST-traceable, plug-and-play TEDS sensors that ship fast and perform reliably.

Expanding Your Testing Flexibility:
Ultra-Miniature Triaxial Accelerometers with Integral & Detachable Cable Options

We’ve recently expanded our ultra-miniature triaxial accelerometer offerings to add “connectorized” versions. These sensors are easier to install than integrated cable versions and allow for more flexibility. Take a look at the range of ultra-mini accelerometers we offer, and give us a call if you’d like help selecting the right option for your test.
