Bently Nevada 16710-35 Interconnect Cable | 3300 Series 35ft Armored

🔗 Bently Nevada 16710-35 Armored Interconnect Cable for 3300 Monitoring Systems

The Bently Nevada 16710-35 is a heavy-duty armored interconnect cable engineered for the 3300 series machinery protection and condition monitoring systems. This 35-foot (10.5m) cable features 3-conductor shielded 22 AWG construction with armor protection, providing rugged signal transmission between proximitor sensors and monitoring modules in harsh industrial environments where vibration, electromagnetic interference, and mechanical stress demand superior cable durability.

🔌 Cable Specifications

⚙️ Industrial Monitoring Applications

Turbomachinery Vibration Monitoring: Connects 3300 XL proximity probes on gas turbines, steam turbines, and compressors (10-500 MW) to 3300 rack-mounted monitors in control rooms where 30-50 foot cable runs accommodate equipment spacing between bearing pedestals and local instrument cabinets, with armor protection preventing damage from foot traffic and maintenance activities.

Rotating Equipment Surveillance: Links proximitor transducers on pumps, motors, fans, and gearboxes to vibration monitoring systems in refineries, chemical plants, and power stations where armored construction withstands exposure to hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils, and industrial solvents that degrade standard PVC-jacketed cables within 2-3 years.

Harsh Environment Installations: Provides reliable signal transmission in steel mills, mining operations, and offshore platforms where mechanical abuse from moving equipment, falling objects, and personnel traffic requires armor protection that extends cable service life to 15+ years versus 3-5 years for unarmored cables in similar conditions.

Retrofit & Replacement Projects: Direct replacement for aging or damaged 16710-series cables in existing 3300 monitoring systems without recalibration or system modifications, maintaining measurement accuracy and eliminating costly sensor or monitor replacements when only cable degradation has occurred due to environmental exposure or mechanical wear.

🛡️ Protection & Performance Features

Flexible Armor Construction: Metal armor jacket provides crush resistance and abrasion protection while maintaining flexibility for routing through conduits, cable trays, and tight spaces, preventing cable damage that accounts for 50% of vibration monitoring system failures during installation and operation in industrial environments.

EMI/RFI Shielding: Braided shield rejects electromagnetic interference from VFDs, motors, welding equipment, and radio transmitters commonly found in industrial facilities, ensuring proximity probe gap voltage accuracy within ±1% for precise shaft position and vibration measurements critical to API 670 machinery protection standards.

Environmental Resistance: Temperature rating of -40°C to +105°C enables installation in turbine enclosures, compressor buildings, and outdoor locations where ambient conditions exceed limits of standard instrumentation cables, maintaining signal integrity across seasonal temperature variations and process heat exposure.

Factory-Terminated Quality: Pre-installed 3-socket plug and terminal lugs with gold-plated contacts ensure proper mating torque and contact resistance, eliminating field termination errors that cause 40% of vibration monitoring system commissioning delays and reducing installation time from 2 hours to 30 minutes per cable run.
