Designed for large, high-risk areas, Leak Cable is an ideal solution to safeguard against potential water damage in critical environments.

Leak Cable at a glance

High-sensitivity leak detection over longer areas

Leak Cable detects water along a length of sensing cable, making it ideal for monitoring larger areas where point sensors may not provide enough coverage.

5m Short length

Suitable for focused leak detection around compact areas, equipment or smaller risk zones.

25m Medium coverage

A practical option for monitoring wider areas where water may appear along a route or surface.

100m Large area coverage

Designed for longer detection runs across plant rooms, service areas or larger building zones.

85°C Max temperature

Built for durable water leak detection across demanding environments and service areas.

Conductivity-based detection

Leak Cable works on the principle of water conductivity. When water appears anywhere along the sensing cable, the system can detect the presence of water quickly.

Durable cable construction

The cable is made from durable, eco-friendly material and has a 6mm diameter, making it suitable for practical installation across high-risk areas.

Simple installation

Leak Cable is supplied with easy-to-install cable fixing clips and connects through a 2-core cable setup.

Works with FlowReporter

When connected into the Quensus leak detection system, Leak Cable supports fast water detection, alerts and automatic shut-off where the system is configured with a compatible valve.

Leak Cable provides high-sensitivity water leak detection across a continuous length of sensing cable, making it ideal for areas where leaks may occur along a wider surface rather than at a single fixed point.

Made from durable and eco-friendly material, the cable works on the principle of water conductivity. When water appears anywhere along the sensing cable, the system can quickly detect its presence and trigger an alert through the connected Quensus leak detection system.

This makes Leak Cable particularly useful for plant rooms, service risers, utility areas, pipe routes, tank rooms, server rooms, basement areas and other high-risk spaces where early water detection is critical.

Leak Cable is available in 5m, 25m and 100m lengths, allowing it to be specified around the layout and risk profile of each site. It is supplied with easy-to-install cable fixing clips, helping teams secure the cable neatly around key areas that need continuous protection.

When integrated with the wider Quensus system, Leak Cable can support fast alerts, remote visibility through FlowReporter and automatic water shut-off where a compatible valve is installed.
