Thanks Les, the trouble is that each lead has *very * thin strands of
wire, I'm
not sure soldering would work ?

Solder each lead then insulate it. Finish it off with that self -
amalgamating tape that radio amateurs are fond of using - or seal the
repair in a waterproof box with liberal amounts of silicon around the
entry & exit holes.

Finish it off with a large sign saying "ONCE MORE AND YOU'RE BEEF" (:

Don't laugh, but the cows in the paddock have chewed through the data
cable

from

my anemometer.



Surely you need those small crimp slices that you squeeze together with a
pair of plyers. Unfortunately I can't get onto the RS Components website
to show what I mean. Then the joint(s) need water proofing.

Will what does the cable carry, voltage or data?


Sorry Will that was stupid (up late awaiting the Ricky Hatton
fight)disregard that. I meant is it power supply, data or both ?.
Isn't there a wireless version ?
