330130-045-12-05 Bently Nevada 3300 XL Extension Cable

Product Overview

The BENTLY NEVADA 330130-045-12-05 is a high-performance 3300 XL extension cable engineered to provide seamless signal transmission between proximity probes and Proximitor sensors. As part of the gold-standard 3300 XL series, this cable is designed to maintain the integrity of eddy current sensor signals in demanding industrial environments. It features a specialized FluidLoc cable construction paired with a connector protector to ensure maximum durability against moisture and chemical exposure. With a total length of 4.5 meters (14.8 feet), this cable is a critical link for machinery protection systems in power generation, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing sectors.

Technical Configuration

FluidLoc & Connector Protection

The 330130-045-12-05 utilizes the "12" suffix option, which designates the inclusion of FluidLoc technology and an integrated connector protector. The FluidLoc feature prevents fluids from wicking through the cable if the jacket is damaged, while the protector provides mechanical shielding for the coaxial connection. This setup is specifically designed to combat "oil-wicking"—a common cause of sensor failure in pressurized machine housings. The cable is balanced for electrical precision, ensuring that the total system length remains calibrated for accurate displacement and vibration measurements.

Global Compliance & Approvals

Equipped with the "05" suffix option, this extension cable carries multiple agency approvals for safety and quality assurance. This makes the 330130-045-12-05 suitable for use in diverse geographical regions and various hazardous area classifications. Whether deployed in intrinsically safe or non-incendive circuits, this cable meets the stringent standards required for critical machinery monitoring. Its construction features a net weight of approximately 0.25 kg, maintaining a lightweight profile without compromising on ruggedness.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Wick-Resistant Design: FluidLoc technology prevents oil and moisture from traveling along the internal cable structure to the sensor electronics.
• Mechanical Guarding: The integrated protector shields the coaxial connector from vibration-induced loosening and physical impact.
• Calibrated Precision: Manufactured to strict capacitance and resistance standards to ensure no signal degradation over the 4.5m span.
• Interchangeability: Part of the 3300 XL ecosystem, allowing for easy replacement and standardized maintenance across large machine fleets.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the total system length when using this cable?
A1: Total system length is determined by adding the probe length to the extension cable length. Always ensure your Proximitor sensor is calibrated for the resulting total (usually 5.0m or 9.0m systems).

Q2: Can this cable be used in submerged oil applications?
A2: Yes, the FluidLoc construction is specifically designed for environments where cables are exposed to machine lubricants and hydraulic fluids.

Q3: Does the connector protector require special tools for installation?
A3: No, the protector is designed to be easily secured by hand or with standard tools to provide an extra layer of moisture and mechanical protection.
