Abstract
Described is a sensing device, which is suspended in a filling material, particularly a liquid, by means of a cable . The cable consists of a cable jacket of insulating material, a shielding jacket of metal mesh beneath the cable jacket , and the electrical conductors connected to the sensor proper . In accordance with the invention, the shielding jacket also serves to relieve pull. To this end, the end that projects into the sensor housing is exposed, i.e., is free of the insulating jacket material, and has a solid mechanical connection to the adapting piece of a cable seat inserted into the housing , and the connection is electrically conductive.
