Product Description

The Bently Nevada 330130-085-13-CN is a high-integrity 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable, an essential component for ensuring the reliability and accuracy of machinery protection and condition monitoring systems. Specifically engineered as part of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System, this cable provides the critical electrical connection between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and its associated proximity probe. Its primary function is to transmit the sensitive analog signal from the probe, which measures vibration and position, to the sensor without degradation or interference. The integrity of this signal is paramount for the proper functioning of advanced monitoring platforms like the Bently Nevada 3500 System, which relies on precise data inputs to make critical decisions regarding machinery health and operational safety. The 330130-085-13-CN is not merely a wire; it is a precision-engineered component designed to maintain the specific electrical properties, including impedance and capacitance, required for the transducer system to operate within its calibrated specifications.

Constructed for performance in harsh industrial environments, the 330130-085-13-CN extension cable incorporates superior design features for maximum signal fidelity and durability. It features a triaxial design with a 75 Ω characteristic impedance, which provides exceptional protection against electrostatic noise and high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) commonly found in industrial settings near large motors, generators, and variable frequency drives. The cable is jacketed with Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP), offering excellent resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures. The part number 330130-085-13-CN precisely defines its configuration: a total cable length of 8.5 meters (indicated by “085”), flexible stainless steel armor for robust physical protection against abrasion and impact (indicated by “13”), and specific regional approvals (“CN”). This specific length is critical, as the total cable length (probe plus extension) directly influences the system’s scale factor, and using a non-specified cable can lead to inaccurate measurements and potential machinery damage.

Reliability is further enhanced by the use of gold-plated ClickLoc™ connectors, a Bently Nevada proprietary design. These connectors ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant coupling that is resistant to vibration, preventing intermittent or lost connections that could trigger false alarms or, worse, missed trips. The locking mechanism provides a tactile “click” upon proper engagement, giving maintenance personnel confidence in the connection’s integrity. Using a genuine Bently Nevada 330130-085-13-CN cable is imperative for maintaining system compliance with industry standards such as API 670
