In order to extend an EGT Probe or CHT sensor cable, we recommend using our thermocouple extension wire and thermocouple connectors. The wire and connectors are made from specific materials that will ensure that you are getting the most accurate temperature reading possible.
While it is possible to use copper wire to extend the cable, this can have a negative effect on the accuracy of the temperature reading.
You can find all the wires and connectors you need on our website at the following links:
