FAQ

Q1: What is the function of the 330130-040-03-00 cable?

A1: It serves as the extension between the proximity probe and driver, transmitting the signal accurately across a distance.

Q2: Is this cable compatible with all Bently Nevada probes?

A2: It is designed specifically for use with the 3300 XL series and is not guaranteed to be compatible with older or different series.

Q3: What is the maximum operating temperature of this cable?

A3: The cable can operate continuously in environments up to 177°C (350°F).

Q4: Can this cable be used outdoors?

A4: While it has good chemical and thermal resistance, additional environmental protection is recommended for outdoor exposure.

Q5: How should the cable be routed to avoid interference?

A5: Route it away from high-voltage lines, use shielding, and follow proper cable management to prevent signal degradation.

Q6: Can I cut and re-terminate the cable to a different length?

A6: No. These cables are factory terminated and cutting may compromise signal integrity and void compliance.

Q7: What’s the difference between -01-00 and -03-00 suffixes?

A7: The suffix typically denotes connector type or configuration. -03-00 includes specific end connectors suited for direct system compatibility.

Q8: Is the cable resistant to oil and chemicals?

A8: Yes, the PFA jacket offers strong resistance to oils, solvents, and industrial chemicals.

Q9: Does the cable have shielding?

A9: Yes, it features shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Q10: What’s the purpose of the miniature coaxial connector?

A10: It ensures tight, reliable electrical connection with minimal loss, suitable for precision signal transfer.
