Product Specifications

Applications

The 330190-085-03-CN Extension Cable is ideal for situations where the probe or transducer must be installed at a distance from the monitoring system:

• Turbomachinery Monitoring – Extends the connection between proximity probes and monitoring racks in large turbines and compressors.

• Oil & Gas Facilities – Reliable for offshore rigs and refineries where equipment spacing requires long cable runs.

• Power Generation – Suitable for steam, gas, and hydroelectric plants needing precise vibration measurements over extended distances.

• Industrial Manufacturing – Effective in steel mills, paper plants, and other heavy machinery installations.

• Remote Equipment Integration – Enables flexible layout of monitoring hardware across large industrial sites.

Advantages

• Extended Reach – 8.5 meters of high-quality cable supports installations with significant separation between probes and monitors.

• Exceptional Signal Integrity – Low capacitance and 50 Ω impedance maintain accurate dynamic signals.

• High Temperature Tolerance – Operates reliably from –51 °C to +177 °C, covering extreme environmental conditions.

• Superior Shielding – Dual braid and foil shielding protect against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

• Durable Construction – Rugged jacket resists mechanical wear, moisture, and industrial chemicals.

• Seamless Compatibility – Designed and factory tested for the entire Bently Nevada 3300 XL system.

• Ease of Installation – Factory-terminated connectors reduce on-site assembly and ensure secure connections.

FAQ

1. What is the characteristic impedance of this extension cable?

   It is designed with a 50 Ω impedance to match the Bently Nevada 3300 XL system for accurate signal transmission.

2. Can the cable withstand high vibration environments?

   Yes, it is rated for vibration up to 10 g in the 10–2000 Hz frequency range.

3. Is the shielding effective against electromagnetic interference?

   The cable uses dual braided and foil shielding to provide excellent EMI/RFI protection.

4. What is the maximum operating temperature?

   It can operate continuously from –51 °C to +177 °C without performance degradation.

5. Does the cable require special grounding?

   Proper grounding through the shield is recommended, but no additional special grounding is required beyond standard practices.

6. Are the connectors factory sealed?

   Yes, both ends are factory-terminated and sealed to maintain consistent impedance and prevent contamination.

7. Can the cable be routed through tight bends?

   It can be bent to a reasonable radius without affecting signal quality, though sharp bends should be avoided.

8. Is the insulation resistant to moisture and chemicals?

   The PTFE insulation and outer jacket are highly resistant to industrial chemicals and moisture ingress.

9. Can this cable be used with other Bently Nevada proximity probes?

   Yes, it is fully compatible with all standard 3300 XL proximity probe and transducer systems.

10. Does the cable introduce measurable signal delay?

    Any delay is negligible and within the tolerance of the 3300 XL monitoring specifications.
