Bently Nevada 330130-085-00-05 – Armored Extension Cable for 3300 XL Proximity Monitoring

The Bently Nevada 330130-085-00-05 is a factory‑terminated extension cable used in 3300 XL proximity probe systems. From my experience, this variant is specified for rugged runs where mechanical protection matters; the “085” denotes an 8.5 m length, and the “-05” option is typically the stainless-steel armored version that stands up well in turbine decks and compressor skids. It pairs between the proximity probe and the Proximitor sensor, preserving signal integrity over longer cable routes with the familiar Bently mini‑coax ClickLoc connectors.

Key Features

• 8.5 m system length (code “085”) – Fits routes that are a bit longer than standard 5/7/9 m paths, without field splices.
• Armored construction (code “-05”) – Stainless-steel flexible armor typically used to resist abrasion and foot traffic in harsh areas.
• Mini‑coax ClickLoc connectors – Positive locking connectors that don’t back off under vibration, making installs more reliable.
• Matched to 3300 XL probes & Proximitor sensors – Maintains calibration across the transducer chain when paired correctly.
• Low noise, fluoropolymer jacket – The cable is designed to minimize triboelectric noise and handle elevated temperatures common around rotating equipment.
• Passive component – No power required, just consistent signal performance between probe and Proximitor.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

You’ll typically see this cable on critical rotating assets where proximity probes are standard: steam and gas turbines, compressors, large pumps, gearboxes, and generators. Plants in oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical, paper, and steel use it heavily because it maintains the calibration of the 3300 XL transducer system across longer cable runs.

• Skid-mounted compressors and pump trains where armor protects against abrasion and foot traffic.
• Turbine compartments with elevated temperatures and tight routing paths.
• Upgrades or extensions where standard 5/7/9 m lengths don’t quite reach, and 8.5 m clears the route without splicing.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability in harsh areas – Armor and ClickLoc ends help the cable survive vibration and maintenance traffic.
• Compatibility across the chain – Works with 3300 XL proximity probes and Proximitor sensors when ordered to the correct system length.
• Lower lifecycle cost – Fewer unplanned replacements and less time troubleshooting intermittent connections.
• Procurement confidence – Standardized part reduces engineering time and aligns with installed 3300 XL spares.

“We switched to the -05 armored version after a couple of turnaround incidents. Since then, no cable damage and clean signals,” is how a maintenance lead at a combined-cycle site summed it up to us. It seems to be a small change that pays off in most cases.

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment: Route in trays or conduit where practical; use armored runs in exposed or high-traffic zones.
• Cable handling: Avoid sharp bends and crushing; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, especially at connectors.
• Grounding: In many cases, armor and shields are grounded at a single point to prevent ground loops—check your site standard.
• Connections: Hand‑tighten ClickLoc connectors until positively locked; do not over‑torque.
• Separation: Keep distance from high‑voltage cables and VFD feeders to reduce induced noise.
• Routine checks: Visually inspect armor and connectors during outages; clean connectors carefully and reseat if signals show intermittency.
• Spares: Stock at least one like‑for‑like length per critical machine train to minimize downtime.

Quality & Certifications

• Compliance: Typically CE and RoHS compliant as part of the 3300 XL transducer system.
• Quality system: Manufactured under the OEM’s quality management system (ISO-based processes).
• Warranty: 365-day warranty from our side on this item.

Note: The 330130-085-00-05 is generally used with 3300 XL proximity probes and Proximitor sensors of matching system length. If you’re unsure about length codes or armor options for your machine, share the probe and Proximitor part numbers and we’ll confirm compatibility before shipping.
