Bently Nevada 330190-045-01-00 3300 XL ETR Extension Cable

Core Advantages

• Extended Temperature Range: The ETR design with PFA insulation supports continuous operation from -52°C to +260°C (-62°F to +500°F), making it ideal for high-temperature applications near turbine casings, compressor housings, and other thermally demanding industrial equipment .

• Armored Construction: The "-01" option specifies stainless steel braided armor that provides exceptional protection against mechanical abrasion, crushing, and physical damage. This makes the cable suitable for installations where cable routing may be exposed to harsh conditions or mechanical stress .

• Complete System Interchangeability: As part of the 3300 XL system, this extension cable is fully interchangeable with other 3300 XL components. Probes, extension cables, and Proximitor Sensors can be replaced without requiring individual bench calibration, significantly reducing maintenance downtime .

• Precise Electrical Characteristics: The cable maintains precise electrical parameters including 75Ω triaxial impedance, 69.9 pF/m typical capacitance, and matched DC resistance values, ensuring accurate signal transmission and system linearity .

• Robust Connector Design: Equipped with gold-plated brass or beryllium copper ClickLoc connectors, the cable provides reliable, corrosion-resistant connections with simple finger-tightening. The connectors ensure low signal loss and stable performance over extended service life .

• Hazardous Area Capable: When ordered with appropriate approval options, the cable meets CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certification requirements for installation in explosive atmospheres, supporting SIL 2 and SIL 3 functional safety applications .
