Bently Nevada 16925-25 Interconnect Cable

The Bently Nevada 16925-25 Interconnect Cable is an essential accessory in the Bently Nevada 7200 and 3300 series monitoring systems. Engineered for durability and reliable performance, this interconnect cable is designed to establish a robust signal connection between transducers, sensors, and monitoring modules within machinery protection systems. With its 25-foot (7.62 meters) length, it provides the flexibility needed for routing signals across large machinery or installations where distance is a factor.

The 16925-25 is manufactured using high-quality shielding and insulation materials to minimize signal degradation and electromagnetic interference. It is a trusted component in systems requiring accurate vibration, position, and speed measurement—especially in harsh industrial environments where stable signal transmission is critical.

Product Specifications

Product Applications

The 16925-25 Interconnect Cable is widely used across industries to support the critical transmission of signals in:

• Turbomachinery Monitoring Systems – Connecting proximity probes, velocity sensors, and Keyphasor modules to condition monitoring racks.

• Compressor Protection Systems – Linking sensors to monitors in centrifugal and reciprocating compressor applications.

• Steam & Gas Turbine Vibration Analysis – Ensuring accurate signal integrity between sensor heads and processing units.

• Generator and Motor Monitoring – Extending sensor outputs to control panels in motor and generator rooms.

• Pumps and Gearbox Monitoring – Reliable connectivity in systems measuring axial thrust or bearing vibration.

Its construction and reliability make it suitable for both control rooms and direct machine-mount environments.

Product Advantages

• Signal Integrity: Double shielding (braid and foil) reduces electromagnetic interference and preserves signal clarity over long distances.

• Mechanical Strength: Tough outer jacket and strain relief at connector ends protect against physical damage and flex fatigue.

• Standardization: Factory-tested for compatibility with Bently Nevada systems, minimizing installation errors and configuration mismatches.

• Ease of Installation: Pre-terminated connectors allow plug-and-play setup, reducing wiring time and the need for specialized tools.

• Flexible Deployment: 25-foot length offers a practical balance between reach and manageability in machinery environments.

• Environmental Resistance: Designed to withstand industrial conditions, including high temperatures and oil exposure.

FAQ
