When You Need This Cable
Distance Challenges: When your proximitor mounting location is too far from the probe installation point, this extension cable bridges the gap without compromising measurement quality.
Retrofit Projects: Upgrading existing machinery monitoring systems often requires flexible cable routing—this extension provides the reach needed for clean, professional installations.
Panel Relocation: Moving monitoring panels or DCS cabinets away from machinery for safety or accessibility reasons becomes straightforward with proper extension cables.
Multi-Point Monitoring: Complex machinery with multiple measurement points benefits from standardized cable lengths that simplify inventory and maintenance.
Technical Advantages
Unlike generic coaxial cables, the 21504-00-48-05-02 is factory-matched to Bently Nevada's proximity system impedance and capacitance requirements. This ensures:
- Zero Calibration Shift: Maintains factory probe calibration when added to system
- Noise Immunity: Superior shielding rejects electrical interference from VFDs, motors, and welders
- Long-Term Reliability: Industrial-grade materials resist oil, chemicals, and mechanical stress
- Plug-and-Play: Standard BNC connectors ensure quick, error-free installation
Application Environments
This extension cable excels in demanding industrial settings including power generation plants, oil and gas facilities, pulp and paper mills, mining operations, and heavy manufacturing. It's engineered to withstand the vibration, temperature extremes, and contamination typical of these environments while delivering consistent performance year after year.
System Integration
The 21504-00-48-05-02 seamlessly integrates with all Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximitors and standard 8mm proximity probes. It can be used individually or daisy-chained with additional extension cables (up to system maximum cable length) to achieve custom installation distances while maintaining API 670 compliance.
Condition: Brand new, factory-sealed with full manufacturer warranty and certification.
