Bently Nevada 330130-045-01-CN – Flexible 3300 XL Extension Cable for Proximity Probe Systems

The Bently Nevada 330130-045-01-CN is a flexible extension cable designed for 3300 XL proximity transducer systems. From my experience, this “-045” variant is typically a 4.5 m cable, intended to pair with a 0.5 m probe cable to achieve a 5 m system length—one of the most common setups in turbines, compressors, and large motors. The “-01” denotes the standard connector configuration used across 3300 XL components, and the “-CN” suffix usually indicates a China-market labeling/compliance variant with identical function and performance to the global version.

You might notice that technicians favor the flexible (non-armored) version in cabinets and protected runs where easy routing and tight panel layouts matter. It simply connects between the probe and the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, maintaining the factory-matched transducer performance without introducing signal headaches.

Key Features

• Matched 3300 XL performance – Maintains system accuracy when used with compatible 3300 XL probes and Proximitor Sensors.
• 4.5 m flexible cable – Ideal for achieving a 5 m system length when paired with a 0.5 m probe cable.
• Standard 3300 XL connectors – Factory-terminated coax connectors for quick, reliable installations.
• Non-armored, easy routing – Suited for cabinet runs and protected conduits where bendability is preferred.
• High signal integrity – Designed to carry the proximity transducer RF signal with minimal loss or interference.
• CN regional variant – Typically indicates China-market labeling/compliance while keeping identical electrical characteristics.

Application Fields

Typically used in condition monitoring and protection systems across:

• Steam and gas turbines for shaft vibration and axial position
• Centrifugal compressors and expanders
• Critical pumps, fans, and motors in refining, petrochemical, and power plants
• OEM skid packages where 5 m system length is standard

A maintenance lead at a gas processing site told us the 4.5 m flexible lead “made panel work less fussy—no extra loops, no signal drift, and it just fits the 5 m spec every time.”

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – Matched to 3300 XL system electronics, which helps avoid calibration surprises during commissioning.
• Compatibility – Drop-in fit with 3300 XL probes and Proximitor Sensors used on 5 m systems.
• Lower installation effort – Flexible jacket and factory connectors reduce routing time in tight cabinets.
• Procurement confidence – Standardized length coding (-045) simplifies BOM accuracy and spares alignment.
• Support – We can help verify the correct cable-to-probe combination so the total system length is right the first time.

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment – Route inside control cabinets or protected conduit; avoid sharp edges and hot exhaust paths.
• Wiring – Maintain clean coax runs; do not mix with high-voltage cables; keep spare length to gentle service loops.
• Bend radius – Typically ≥ 10× cable OD to preserve signal integrity and avoid conductor fatigue.
• Grounding/EMI – Keep away from VFD outputs and strong EMI sources; retain factory shielding continuity at connectors.
• Routine checks – Inspect connectors for tightness, jacket for abrasion, and verify transducer gaps during scheduled outages. The cable itself doesn’t require calibration, but system verification is recommended.

Quality & Certifications

• CE and RoHS conformity are typical for this family; production under ISO 9001 quality systems.
• Manufacturer warranty terms vary by region and channel; commonly 1 year on new items.
• Our supply warranty: 365 days, with prompt replacement/support if any quality issues arise.

Related/Supporting Components

• 3300 XL Proximity Probes (5 mm / 8 mm)
• 3300 XL Proximitor Sensors
• Mounting hardware, brackets, and junction boxes for proximity transducer systems

If you’re standardizing on 5 m systems or refreshing spares, the 330130-045-01-CN is, in many cases, the cleanest way to keep installations consistent without reworking your wiring practices.
