330130-045-02-00 Bently Nevada 3300 XL Cable

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-02-00 is a high-performance 3300 XL standard extension cable designed for seamless integration with Bently Nevada vibration and position monitoring systems. This 4.5-meter (14.8 feet) cable serves as the critical link between proximity probes and Proximitor® sensors. Unlike armored versions, this model features molded connector protectors (Option 02), providing superior strain relief and moisture resistance at the connection points, making it ideal for routing through conduits and cable trays.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

When installing the 330130-045-02-00, ensure the molded connector protectors are properly seated to prevent moisture ingress. The cable is designed for longevity, withstanding over 1,000,000 flex cycles, which is vital for machines with high-frequency structural vibration. Before operation, all units undergo 100% continuity testing and a 1500V HiPot test to ensure electrical safety. This cable is specifically compatible with the 3300 XL series; please verify that your probe and Proximitor are not legacy 3500 or 7200 series models prior to installation.

Engineering Advantages

The primary advantage of the 330130-045-02-00 is its High-Flex Reliability. The 19-strand tinned copper conductor provides superior fatigue resistance compared to solid-core alternatives. Its double-layer shielding (foil plus braid) offers exceptional protection against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), ensuring the vibration signal remains linear and accurate. Additionally, the oil-resistant PVC jacket prevents degradation in environments where turbine oil or industrial lubricants may be present.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the purpose of the "Molded Connector Protectors" (Option 02)?
A1: They provide a rugged, pre-installed housing around the miniature coaxial connectors, offering better protection against moisture and mechanical strain than standard silicone tape.

Q2: Can this cable be used in outdoor installations?
A2: Yes, the IP67-rated sealing characteristics and the wide temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) make it suitable for outdoor machinery housings, provided it is routed through appropriate conduit for UV protection.

Q3: Is this cable interchangeable with armored versions?
A3: Electrically, yes. This cable has the same 75 Ω impedance as armored 3300 XL cables. However, it should only be used in place of an armored cable if mechanical abrasion or crushing risks are minimal.
