Abstract: A commodity monitoring system includes at least one computing device, a container for storing a commodity, and a cable assembly. The cable assembly includes a plurality of cables, each cable comprising a pair of conductors surrounded by a cable jacket and a plurality of sensor nodes secured to the plurality of cables. Each sensor node includes a segment of a cable, an injection molded housing structure formed over the cable and extending through a slot extending through the cable, a circuit board disposed within the housing structure and between conductors of the pair of conductors, a seal member disposed over the circuit board and in contact with the housing structure, a cap member disposed over the seal member, and at least one fastener securing the seal member and the cap member to the housing structure.
