With its superior build quality and Bruel-Kjaer’s reputation for excellence, this cable is a trusted choice for professionals who demand the highest performance from their instrumentation.

Technical Specifications

The Brüel & Kjær AO-0193 is a Super Low-Noise (SLN) coaxial measurement cable terminated in TNC male connectors at both ends, used for accelerometer and charge-mode transducer signal transmission. B&K’s low-noise cable designs suppress triboelectric noise — electrical artifacts generated by mechanical flexing of the cable — through a conductive coating between the dielectric and shield layers, which is essential when carrying the small charge or voltage signals typical of vibration transducers over any meaningful distance. The AO-0193 is offered in four standard length variants: 1.2m (AO-0193-D-012), 3m (AO-0193-D-030), 8m (AO-0193-D-080), and 30m (AO-0193-D-300), covering everything from short bench-test connections to long permanent-installation runs.

Applications

This cable is used to connect charge-mode or IEPE accelerometers to conditioning amplifiers and data acquisition front ends in industrial vibration test setups — rotating machinery test rigs, structural testing, and noise/vibration/harshness (NVH) work — wherever cable-motion-induced noise must be kept to a minimum for the measurement to be trustworthy. The TNC connector’s screw-lock design provides a more secure, vibration-resistant connection than a simple push-fit BNC, making it a common choice on permanently installed monitoring points subject to ongoing mechanical vibration at the connector itself.

Why Seven Star LLC

Seven Star LLC supplies genuine Brüel & Kjær low-noise measurement cables, including the AO-0193 series, to instrumentation and condition-monitoring customers across Oman and the wider GCC, and confirms the exact length variant and connector configuration required to match the customer’s existing accelerometer and conditioning-amplifier setup before confirming an order.

Choosing the Right Length

Selecting the correct AO-0193 length variant matters more than it might first appear: a cable significantly longer than needed adds unnecessary capacitance to the measurement circuit, which can affect high-frequency response depending on the connected instrumentation, while a cable that is too short simply cannot reach the measurement point. Seven Star LLC helps customers choose between the 1.2m, 3m, 8m, and 30m variants based on the actual distance between the sensor location and the conditioning amplifier or data acquisition rack, rather than defaulting to the longest option to be safe.

TNC vs BNC Connectors

B&K offers similar low-noise cables with both TNC and BNC connector options across its accessory range; the AO-0193’s TNC termination provides a threaded, positive-lock connection that resists loosening under continuous machine vibration, making it the preferred choice for permanently installed monitoring points, while BNC push-fit cables remain common for portable survey work where connections are made and broken frequently and speed of connection matters more than lock security. Customers migrating a system between portable and permanent monitoring configurations should confirm which connector standard their conditioning amplifier and accelerometers actually use before ordering, since TNC and BNC are not physically interchangeable without an adapter.

Ordering Notes

When quoting an AO-0193 cable, Seven Star LLC confirms the exact length required and the accelerometer, charge amplifier, or data acquisition front end it will connect to, since B&K’s cable range covers multiple connector types across its broader accessory catalog and not every combination is interchangeable, and mismatched connectors are a common, easily avoided cause of delayed commissioning on new installations.
