Quick Detail

Description

The 330130-080-00-00 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable represents a cornerstone interconnectivity solution within the advanced Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm proximity transducer system. Engineered in the USA, this high-performance triaxial extension cable is fundamental for establishing robust and precise signal pathways in critical machinery monitoring setups. It is meticulously designed to seamlessly integrate with eddy current proximity probes and Proximitor® sensors, enabling highly accurate vibration and positional measurement of rotating assets. Its primary function is to transmit sensitive analog signals from the probe tip, which monitors conductive target surfaces, back to the monitoring system with minimal signal degradation, thereby ensuring data integrity is preserved for accurate analysis of machine health.

A defining characteristic of the 330130-080-00-00 extension cable is its comprehensive compliance with international hazardous area standards, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. This multi-agency approval makes it an indispensable component for deployment in oil and gas refineries, chemical processing plants, and other environments where flammable gases or combustible dusts are present. Beyond its safety credentials, the cable is constructed with a durable 75Ω triaxial shielded design, featuring an exceptionally low typical capacitance of 69.9 pF/m. This electrical specification is crucial for maintaining signal fidelity and system linearity over its substantial 8.0-meter (26.2-foot) length, preventing the attenuation and phase shift that can compromise measurement accuracy in long-distance runs.

Applications

This extension cable is essential for integrating 3300 XL proximity transducer systems within classified hazardous locations, such as petrochemical refineries, offshore platforms, and grain handling facilities. Its built-in CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications ensure compliant and safe signal transmission for vibration and position monitoring in areas with explosive atmospheres, eliminating the need for external protective conduits and simplifying installation while upholding the highest safety protocols.

The cable’s 75Ω triaxial construction and optimized low capacitance profile (69.9 pF/m typical) make it ideal for precision vibration analysis and radial/axial position measurement on critical turbomachinery like turbines, compressors, and large pumps. It ensures the high-fidelity transmission of delicate eddy current signals over distances up to 8 meters, providing condition monitoring systems with accurate data for detecting unbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear, thereby enabling predictive maintenance strategies.

For retrofitting or expanding existing monitoring networks, this cable offers seamless connectivity. Its full compatibility with the broader 3300 XL series and backward compatibility with earlier 3300 system components allow for flexible system design and easy component replacement across mixed-vintage installations. This is particularly valuable in industrial plants with space-constrained mounting points, where different probe sizes might be used interchangeably without sacrificing signal integrity or requiring system recalibration.

Specifications

Competitive Advantage

1. Certified for Global Hazardous Area Deployment

Unlike standard industrial cables, the 330130-080-00-00 comes pre-certified with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for use in explosive atmospheres. This multi-certification provides a significant regulatory and safety advantage, allowing for immediate global deployment in sectors like oil & gas, mining, and chemical processing without additional protective measures, reducing project risk, compliance costs, and installation complexity.

2. Engineered for Signal Integrity and Long-Distance Reliability

The cable features a precision 75Ω triaxial design with a characteristically low capacitance of 69.9 pF/m. This engineering focus minimizes signal attenuation and phase distortion over its full 8-meter length, ensuring that the sensitive output from proximity probes is delivered accurately to the monitoring system. This results in more reliable gap voltage and vibration data, which is critical for accurate machinery protection and predictive diagnostics.

3. Unmatched System Flexibility and Investment Protection

A key competitive benefit is its full plug-and-play interchangeability within the 3300 XL ecosystem and backward compatibility with legacy 3300 series components. This design allows users to mix, match, and replace probes, cables, and sensors without costly recalibration. It simplifies inventory management, streamlines maintenance, and protects previous capital investments in monitoring infrastructure, offering exceptional long-term value and operational flexibility.
