I don’t know which cable you’re referring to. The only one that kinda looks like that is the aquabus cable, which you’d use to plug in to an aquaero or similar. But that removes a chunk of features from the sensor.

It’s used to simulate a fan speed signal. It connects to a fan header. 100l is 100 rpm. You can use that to alarm using bios controls if your flow drops.

That’s correct. Connect the cable to the power switch header on the motherboard and then plug the powerswitch lead into the female plug on that lead. The other end goes to the signal connector on the sensors. You can use that plug as either the fan signal or the switch signal, not both.

Mine arrived its so tiny but I'm impressed with it, just waiting on the pc shutdown cable to arrive then drain the loop.
This is one of the reasons I'm looking into one of these for peace of mind. Though I'm debating on this or the Bykski version. Though, from what I've read the water quality reading is only useful if using Aquacool's coolant? That and trying to find one in stock is another task in itself.

I'm not sure about the water quality. Whilst I was finishing off my build during periods of using only distilled water (or diluted coolant) I saw the water quality fall from 100%. However when it was complete and I refilled it with fresh coolant (I'm using EK Cryo) it went up to 100%. It's still showing 100% now. I have no idea when I will change my coolant - I have seen various recommendations - but I certainly will take note if the meter water quality drops from 100%.

How about some photos of this installed in your rigs please.

That requires me to have installed it! I need to work out what coolant to use and then find time…

Tell me about it. I’ve just installed both of mine into my loop and one of them is faulty. Not even powered up and it’s rattling like a fan with something hitting the blades.

Shutdown cable you can't get in the uk you need to import it that's what I had to do, got stung on postage.

And be careful with them, they’re delicate Little cables that separate from the little white connector really easily….

May put some super glue on the cable, that should hold better.
