Sensor for a smart cable | isense CF.P

This sensor has an "affinity" for cables

For cables that run in an energy chain, a particularly intensive "look" is required:

The CF.P sensor measures the tensile forces on the cables
Permanently increased tensile forces can lead to cable damage and in the worst case, cable fire
The CF.P sensor identifies maintenance that has been carried out incorrectly on the cables
Data is stored on an SD card and can be read out for analyses
