[TriEmbed] Best Cable Choice

[pete@soper.us]

I read the datasheet again and at 50 ft it's hard to imagine a mechanism that would make the circuit sensitive to that cable choice.  The one "interesting" detail i found is they pretty much say you can't measure the high end of the temp range (over 100C) with parasitic power.

I'm making an extension for the waterproof temperature probe that AdaFruit sells (3 conductor stranded) and have two choices:
1. Cat5e cable which is about 35 cents/foot
2. 24 AWG cable for R/C servo cable applications that's 75 cents/foot

Other than having 5 extra wires the Cat5e is certainly the best value. Any reason why I should try to find something else?
I have two applications and will probably end up needing 50 feet.


Thanks,
Brian Grawburg
