Quick Detail

Description

The 16710-35 Interconnect Cable is a specialized, industrial-grade signal transmission solution designed by Bently Nevada for critical machinery protection systems. Specifically engineered to provide a robust link between sensors and monitoring racks, this interconnect cable ensures that high-fidelity vibration and position data are transmitted with minimal interference. The 16710-35 model features a 35-foot (approximately 10.6-meter) total length, making it an ideal choice for spanning the distance between machine-mounted junction boxes and local control cabinets. As a vital component for vibration monitoring, the 16710-35 Interconnect Cable is built to maintain signal purity in environments saturated with electromagnetic noise.At the heart of the 16710-35 is its high-quality construction, featuring a tinned copper conductor paired with high-temperature FEP insulation. This combination provides the 16710-35 Interconnect Cable with superior electrical conductivity and a stable 45 $\Omega$ output resistance, which is essential for matching the impedance of Bently Nevada accelerometers and velocity transducers. The interconnect cable utilizes advanced shielding technology, achieving a shielding effectiveness of $\ge 80\text{ dB}$ at 1 GHz. This ensures that the low-voltage signals generated by industrial sensors are protected from the EMI/RFI interference typically generated by large motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs).

Applications

The 16710-35 is primarily utilized in power plant environments to connect 330400 or 330425 accelerometers on steam turbines and generators to the 3500 Monitoring System. The 35-foot length is perfectly sized for routing along the turbine deck to local bridge-mounted junction boxes. Its FEP insulation ensures that the cable can withstand the high ambient temperatures found near turbine casings, while the high shielding effectiveness prevents "ghost" signals caused by the massive electromagnetic fields generated by the nearby generator.

In the oil and gas industry, this interconnect cable serves as the backbone for vibration data transmission in centrifugal compressor stations and pumping facilities. Because the 16710-35 carries multiple agency approvals, it is suitable for use in hazardous areas where reliability is non-negotiable. The cable’s tinned copper conductors resist the corrosive effects of salt spray and sulfur-rich atmospheres, ensuring that critical thrust and radial vibration data reach the control room without degradation, even in offshore or coastal refinery settings.

This cable is also highly effective for balance-of-plant applications, such as monitoring large cooling tower fans and electric motors in manufacturing plants. The 16710-35 provides a flexible solution for installations requiring a dynamic bend radius, allowing the cable to be routed through articulating conduits or machine joints. Its low capacitance (55 pF/m) ensures that the frequency response of the vibration signal remains linear over its entire length, providing maintenance teams with the accurate spectral data needed for detailed machinery diagnostics and balancing.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

Superior EMI/RFI Shielding TechnologyThe 16710-35 Interconnect Cable offers an industry-leading $\ge 80\text{ dB}$ shielding effectiveness, which is significantly higher than standard industrial wiring. By utilizing a high-density tinned copper braid and foil shield, it effectively isolates the sensitive vibration signals from the high-frequency noise of VFDs and power lines. This results in a much higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), allowing for more precise detection of subtle machinery faults that cheaper cables might miss.Rugged FEP Insulation for Extreme Thermal StabilityUnlike standard PVC-insulated cables that can become brittle or melt in industrial heat, the 16710-35 features Teflon (FEP) insulation. This allows the cable to maintain its mechanical and electrical properties from $-45^\circ\text{C}$ up to $+120^\circ\text{C}$. This extreme temperature adaptability ensures that the cable will not fail during high-heat process excursions or in frigid outdoor installations, providing a much longer service life and lower total cost of ownership.Optimized Installation Flexibility and Global ComplianceThe 16710-35 is designed for the "real world" of plant maintenance, offering a 10x static and 15x dynamic bend radius. This flexibility makes it much easier to pull through congested conduits without damaging the conductors. Furthermore, its compliance with CE, UL, and CSA standards means a single part number can be used globally, simplifying procurement and ensuring that your installation always meets local electrical and safety codes for critical machinery protection.
