Bently Nevada 30001-00-45-18-02 | 330130 Extension Cable 4m

Bently Nevada 30001-00-45-18-02 Extension Cable

The Bently Nevada 30001-00-45-18-02 is a factory-certified 4-meter extension cable engineered for the 330130 proximity transducer system. This cable enables flexible installation configurations while preserving measurement integrity in demanding industrial monitoring applications.

What Makes This Cable Different?

Unlike generic coaxial cables, the 30001-00-45-18-02 is precision-manufactured to match the exact impedance and capacitance characteristics of Bently Nevada's proximity measurement systems. This ensures zero calibration drift when extending probe-to-proximitor distances, eliminating the guesswork and recalibration headaches associated with non-OEM alternatives.

Where Is This Cable Used?

Panel Relocation Projects: When upgrading control rooms or relocating monitoring equipment away from hazardous areas, this cable provides the additional reach needed without compromising data quality.

Retrofit Installations: Existing machinery often has fixed probe mounting locations. The 4-meter length offers flexibility to route cables through conduit, around obstacles, and to newly positioned monitoring panels.

Multi-Channel Systems: Large turbines and compressors with 8-16 measurement points benefit from standardized cable lengths that simplify inventory management and reduce installation errors.

Temporary Monitoring: During commissioning, troubleshooting, or portable vibration analysis, this cable allows quick setup of measurement channels without permanent modifications.

How Does It Integrate?

The 30001-00-45-18-02 connects seamlessly between any 8mm proximity probe and 330130 series proximitor module. It can be used individually or combined with additional extension cables to achieve custom total lengths up to the system's maximum cable specification (typically 9 meters total). The BNC connectors ensure secure, repeatable connections that maintain signal quality even in high-vibration environments.

Why Choose OEM Cables?

Third-party cables may appear identical but often use inferior dielectric materials, inconsistent manufacturing tolerances, or substandard shielding. These differences introduce measurement errors, noise susceptibility, and premature failures. Bently Nevada OEM cables undergo rigorous electrical testing and come with full traceability documentation—critical for API 670 compliance and warranty protection.

Installation Best Practices

Route cables away from high-voltage power lines and VFDs to minimize EMI. Secure cables with appropriate clamps every 300mm to prevent vibration-induced fatigue. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius. When connecting multiple extensions, hand-tighten BNC connectors to finger-tight plus 1/4 turn—overtightening can damage the center pin.

Condition: Brand new, factory-sealed with manufacturer certification and full warranty coverage.
