Description
The Bently Nevada 16710-33 is a 33-foot (10.06-meter) armored, 3-conductor shielded interconnect cable designed for industrial machinery condition monitoring systems. This cable provides a secure, low-noise signal path between Bently Nevada accelerometers and monitoring instrumentation. It is engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments, ensuring signal integrity for critical vibration analysis.
Features
- 3-conductor shielded construction for noise immunity.
- 22 AWG (0.5 mm2) armored cable for mechanical protection.
- Equipped with a 3-socket plug at the sensor end and terminal lugs at the monitoring system end.
- Designed for compatibility with 330400 and 330425 series accelerometers.
- Rugged, flexible armor suitable for high-stress industrial applications.
Applications
- Oil & Gas: Monitoring of compressors, pumps, and turbines in refineries and petrochemical plants.
- Power Generation: Vibration monitoring for steam, gas, and wind turbines.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Signal transmission for equipment in steel, metal, and mining facilities.
- Municipal Engineering: Monitoring of large-scale pumps and motors.

Installation Guidelines
-
Bend Radius: Maintain a minimum bend radius of at least 15 cm (approx. 6 in) to prevent damage to the internal conductors and armor.
-
EMI/RFI Mitigation: Route sensor cables at least 12 inches away from AC power cables or motor leads. Do not run signal cables in the same conduit as high-voltage wiring.
-
Mechanical Support: Utilize strain relief at connection points and secure the cable with appropriate clamps to prevent vibration-induced fatigue on the connectors.
-
Handling: Ensure the system is powered down before connecting or disconnecting the cable from the sensor or monitoring module.
