Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-CN 3300 XL Extension Cable

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-CN is a 3.0-meter 3300 XL extension cable featuring stainless steel armor and ClickLoc connectors. Specifically designed for proximity transducer systems, it ensures high-accuracy vibration monitoring in extreme temperatures and hazardous industrial environments.

System Integration and Functionality

The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-CN serves as the critical high-frequency transmission line between a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe and a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor. As a fundamental part of the 3500 Machinery Protection System, this extension cable maintains constant impedance to ensure the absolute accuracy of radial vibration and axial position measurements. The 3300 XL series utilizes patented TipLoc technology and ClickLoc connectors to establish a more robust connection than previous generations, effectively preventing signal loss in high-vibration industrial environments.

Core Features and Industrial Application

Maintenance engineers specify the 330106 extension cable with the armor option (05) to protect the signal core from mechanical damage in harsh routing paths. This stainless steel armor prevents crushing and abrasion, while the FEP jacket provides total immunity to most industrial lubricants and corrosive chemicals. Consequently, operators frequently deploy this cable in:

  • Steam turbine bearing housings
  • Gas turbine exhaust frames
  • High-pressure centrifugal compressors
  • Critical cooling tower gearboxes

Installation and Calibration Requirements

Precision in the 3300 XL system requires that the total electrical length (probe lead plus extension cable) matches the Proximitor Sensor’s design—most commonly 5.0 or 9.0 meters. For this 3.0-meter cable, the user must pair it with a 2.0-meter or 6.0-meter probe to achieve the required system length. Furthermore, the 02 connector option includes a factory-installed connector protector. This component prevents fluid ingress and accidental grounding when the connection resides inside a machine casing.
