Summary:A method and apparatus for forming a grain bin sensor cable (10) including a plurality of mold members (62, 76) defining a mold cavity is disclosed. A pre-formed cable (12) with wires disposed therein is placed into the mold cavity, heated, and formed into a post-formed cable (26). The post-formed cable includes a recessed portion (28) and a pair of end caps (38). Apertures are created within the recessed portion (28) so as to expose a portion of the wires. The end caps (38) are generally cone-shaped and include vertical walls. The post-formed cable is removed from the mold cavity and a sensor package is coupled to the wires exposed in the recessed portion and captured between the vertical walls of the end caps. A housing is coupled about the sensor package.
