Abstract
Quantitative data on the triboelectric signal output of 17 samples of commercially available cable are presented along with a description of the measurement apparatus. Voltages generated ranged from less than 10μV (for some of the “low‐noise” cables) to more than 100 mV peak‐to‐peak when the cables were mechanically driven in three independent modes (bending, twisting, and crushing). Results show that triboelectric noise signals may be of greater amplitude than the hydrophone output.Keywords
