HW-group WLD A connection cable for reliable water leak detection
HW-group WLD A
In enterprises, data centers, and industrial facilities, even small water leaks can cause huge damages – from IT outages to costly equipment failures. Water leak detection is therefore essential, and the HW-group WLD A connection cable provides reliable, reusable, and precise leak localization. Combined with water detection sensor cables, it enables early leak detection and ensures preventive infrastructure protection.
The WLD A connection cable extends existing water leak detection systems and transmits detection signals to monitoring hardware like HWg-WLD2, Poseidon, or Damocles devices. Designed for scalable prevention, it ensures robust protection in mission-critical facilities.
Why Water Leak Detection Matters
Water leaks in server rooms, data centers, or industrial plants can cause irreparable damage. Unlike power outages, water damage often leads to permanent losses in hardware and data, as well as downtime in operations. The HW-group WLD A is a cost-efficient and sustainable tool to mitigate such risks, ensuring early intervention and rapid recovery.

Integration
The WLD A cable integrates seamlessly with HW-group monitoring hardware and SensDesk Cloud. Alerts are sent via email, SNMP trap, or SMS, enabling rapid responses. Open protocol compatibility ensures flexible integration into SCADA and IT infrastructures.
Use Cases
Data centers use WLD A cables under raised floors to detect cooling leaks early. In the food industry, facilities deploy them in cold storage to identify and respond to coolant issues before they become major incidents.
Sustainability
Unlike disposable solutions, the WLD A sensing cable is reusable after drying, significantly reducing costs and waste. This adds practical sustainability to leak detection strategies.
The HW-group WLD A is an essential component of professional leak detection strategies. With modularity, reuse capability, and wide compatibility, it ensures cost-effective and future-proof protection of IT, industrial, and facility infrastructures against water damage.
