Cables, Mounts & Spares

A comprehensive catalog of Sea‑Bird Scientific cables, mounts, and spares designed to support reliable instrument deployment, connectivity, and long‑term performance.
Oceanographer with ECO V2

The following cables and connectors are for Sea-Bird Electronics instruments only. Do not reference this for any WET Labs or Satlantic products.

Cables, mounts, and spares specific to an instrument can be found on the Configure tab and/or Accessories tab on the instrument page.

This page includes generic information on cables (pigtail cables, data I/O cables, and load-bearing underwater cables, as well as cable adapters for connecting a cable to a computer), connectors, and dummy plugs. For cables, the Sea-Bird part number and drawing number is listed. Use the Cable Search to check the drawing if the cable length listed on this page does not meet your needs; cable drawings often list part numbers for the same cable in other lengths.

To access the Cable Search drawings, enter the DN number. For example, for 17027, 2-pin pigtail cable (RMG-2FS with lock sleeve), 0.5 m (DN 30579), enter 30579 under the Drawing/Part Number tab as shown here:

Notes:

  • Click the applicable 'Buy Now' link to purchase the item on-line (not all items currently available on-line).
  • Try our Cable Search page to search a database for cables, including Y-cables for multiple auxiliary sensors connecting to a single end cap connector.
  • The actual cable, connector, or dummy plug required is dependent on the instrument (comparison of XSG/RMG connectors to wet-pluggable MCBH connectors). To ensure that you are purchasing the correct part, consult Sea-Bird with your instrument's serial number and information about your instrument configuration / features before placing an order. (Click here to see an example of where to find the serial number on your instrument).
