330130-045-12-00 Bently Nevada 3300 XL 4.5 Meter Cable

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-12-00 is a high-performance 4.5-meter extension cable designed for the 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Transducer System. This cable acts as the critical link between the proximity probe and the Proximitor Sensor, ensuring high-fidelity transmission of vibration and position signals. This specific configuration features the patented FluidLoc cable technology and an integrated connector protector, making it the ideal choice for applications where the cable may be exposed to turbine oil or other industrial fluids that could otherwise leak through the cable interior.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

The 330130-045-12-00 utilizes Bently Nevada's patented FluidLoc cable design, which provides a critical barrier against moisture and oil wicking through the cable's internal structure. This is particularly vital in machinery where high differential pressures or oil-mist environments exist. Furthermore, the CableLoc design ensures a superior pull strength of 330 N (75 lbf), protecting the electrical connection from mechanical stress during installation or operation. With its gold-plated connectors and robust FEP jacket, this cable maintains less than a 2 mV change in output voltage per volt change in input, providing world-class signal stability.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Why is the FluidLoc option recommended over standard cable?
A1: Standard cables can sometimes act as a "straw," allowing oil from the machine to leak into the Proximitor Sensor housing. FluidLoc prevents this migration, protecting your instrumentation cabinets from contamination.

Q2: Can I use silicone tape instead of the connector protector?
A2: While 3300 XL cables include silicone tape, it is not recommended for applications where the probe-to-extension connection is exposed to turbine oil. In those cases, the factory-installed connector protector (Option 12) is the superior choice.

Q3: How does altitude affect this cable's performance?
A3: These specifications are rated for operations up to a maximum altitude of 2000 meters. For applications at higher altitudes, please consult technical support for potential derating factors.
