Bently Nevada 330730-080-03-00

Product Introduction This extension cable is an 8.0 meter 3300 XL 11 mm system cable featuring the Miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with integrated connector protector. It serves as the signal transmission link between the 3300 XL 11 mm proximity probe and the 3300 XL 11 mm Proximitor Sensor. The connector protector provides enhanced environmental sealing at the connection points, making this cable ideal for installations in humid, oily, or contaminated industrial environments.

Functional Features The cable features gold-plated brass ClickLoc connectors at both ends with integrated fluorosilicone connector protectors. The connector protectors provide additional environmental sealing against moisture, oil, and industrial contaminants. The triaxial 75 Ω construction ensures impedance matching throughout the system. The FEP insulation provides excellent dielectric properties and temperature resistance. The cable is fully interchangeable with other 3300 XL 11 mm system components.

Application Scenarios Turbine supervisory instrumentation cable connections in humid environments, compressor monitoring system signal extension in oily conditions, pump vibration probe-to-sensor connections in petrochemical plants, generator shaft monitoring installations with environmental exposure, axial position measurement system cabling in harsh industrial settings, reciprocating compressor rod drop monitoring connections in contaminated areas.

Performance Parameters The cable exhibits 69.9 pF/m capacitance and maintains stable electrical characteristics across the full -52°C to +177°C temperature range. The DC resistance is precisely controlled to 2.0 ± 0.5 Ω core-to-core for the 8.0 meter length. When combined with a 1.0 meter probe, this cable creates a 9.0 meter electrical length system compatible with 9.0 meter Proximitor Sensors. The cable supports frequency response up to 8 kHz with minimal signal degradation.

Material Composition The cable uses copper conductors with FEP dielectric insulation. The shielding system consists of braided copper shields. Connector bodies are machined from brass and gold-plated for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. Connector protectors are made from fluorosilicone material. The outer jacket is FEP. The cable is non-armored for maximum routing flexibility.

Structural Characteristics The 8.0 meter overall length is manufactured to precise electrical length tolerances. Both ends are terminated with miniature coaxial ClickLoc connectors with integrated connector protectors. The cable outside diameter is 3.7 mm maximum. The construction features separate inner and outer shields for optimal noise immunity. The cable is marked with the part number and electrical length information.

Working Principle The extension cable carries the RF excitation signal from the Proximitor Sensor to the probe tip and returns the amplitude-modulated signal containing the gap distance information. The triaxial design uses the center conductor for the signal, the inner shield for the RF return path, and the outer shield for ground and EMI protection. The connector protectors ensure environmental sealing at the connection points without affecting signal quality.

Installation Requirements Install the cable between the probe and Proximitor Sensor ensuring the ClickLoc connectors fully engage and lock. Apply only finger-tight torque to the connectors. The maximum recommended connector torque is 0.565 N·m (5 in·lbf). Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm throughout the cable route. Secure the cable with appropriate clamps to prevent stress on the connectors. Verify that the total electrical length matches the Proximitor Sensor specification.
