Bently Nevada 330130-040-01-00 Extension Cable – 4.0 m link for 3300 XL proximity transducer systems

The Bently Nevada 330130-040-01-00 is a factory-terminated extension cable designed for 3300 XL proximity transducer systems. From my experience, it’s the straightforward way to bridge the probe and the Proximitor sensor when you need a reliable 4.0 m run. It seems to be the go-to on compressors, turbines, large motors, and gearboxes where durability and signal integrity matter more than anything else.

One thing I appreciate is how predictable the 330130 cable behaves in the field: it’s a passive, shielded coax line, so you get stable displacement signals and fewer surprises in noisy environments. In many cases, swapping a damaged cable with this exact length code restores readings without touching the probe or Proximitor calibration (beyond a quick gap check).

Key Features

• Purpose-built for 3300 XL systems – Connects the 3300 XL probe to the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor with the correct electrical characteristics.
• Factory-terminated connectors – Secure, vibration-resistant terminations for dependable long-term service.
• 4.0 m system length (code -040) – Helps maintain the factory-matched transducer system performance and scale factor.
• Shielded coax construction – Good immunity to EMI/RFI in typical plant environments, reducing signal noise.
• Industrial-grade jacket – Suitable for routing in machinery skids, trays, or conduit; typically resistant to oils and most process contaminants.
• Passive component – No power required; simplifies installation and improves reliability.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

Typically used across rotating machinery condition monitoring: steam and gas turbines, centrifugal and screw compressors, critical process pumps, fans/blowers, generators, and large induction motors. You might notice maintenance teams keep a few of these on hand for turnarounds—if a cable is nicked or insulation is compromised, a like-for-like 4.0 m replacement keeps the system’s scale factor in spec without re-engineering the run.

A recent refinery user shared that swapping this cable on a compressor train took under 30 minutes, and readings stabilized immediately after a quick gap verification. That’s usually the experience when the length code matches the installed probe and Proximitor.

Advantages & Value

• Assured compatibility – Matches 3300 XL probe/Proximitor electrical specs; reduces troubleshooting time.
• Reliability under vibration – Robust connectors and shielded construction help maintain stable signals.
• Cost-effective maintenance – Replace only the damaged cable rather than the full transducer chain.
• Procurement confidence – Clear length code (-040) simplifies spares management across units and sites.
• Technical support – Guidance on routing, bend radius, and connector handling to minimize downtime.

Installation & Maintenance

• Panel/cabinet standards – Route in metallic conduit or cable tray where possible; maintain separation from high-voltage and VFD motor leads.
• Wiring practices – Avoid sharp bends; follow a conservative bend radius; use strain relief near terminations; keep connectors clean and dry.
• Connector handling – Hand-tighten to the manufacturer’s guidance; do not over-torque. Verify locking features are fully engaged.
• System length matching – Ensure the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor are matched to the intended system length (4.0 m here) for correct scale factor.
• Routine checks – Inspect insulation for cuts/abrasion; verify clamps and ties; re-check probe gap if the cable has been replaced or rerouted.
• Firmware/calibration – No firmware on the cable; if the Proximitor has been adjusted, document any changes and revalidate readings.
• Safety – De-energize associated machinery signals where required and follow site lockout/tagout procedures.

Quality & Certifications

• RoHS-compliant materials (typical for Bently Nevada 3300 XL cabling)
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems
• CE marking is generally not applicable to passive cables; UL listing/styles may apply by cable construction
• Warranty: 365 days (backed by our supply terms)

Compatible accessories you may need: 3300 XL 5 mm or 8 mm probes and the matching 3300 XL Proximitor sensor. If you’re unsure about connector orientation codes (the “-01-00” portion), share your installed part markings or photos and we’ll confirm straight vs. right‑angle ends before shipping—this avoids rework on site.
