The 16710-10 is a heavy-duty armored interconnect cable designed for dependable signal transmission within the Bently Nevada machinery protection ecosystem.
This cable assembly features a 3-conductor, 22 AWG shielded configuration enclosed in a rugged mechanical armor layer. The design provides enhanced resistance against mechanical damage, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and radio-frequency interference (RFI), making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
It is commonly used to connect proximity probes or velocity transducers to junction boxes or rack-based monitoring systems in high-vibration and high-risk installation areas.

The 16710-10 armored cable is deployed in permanent monitoring installations where signal wiring is exposed to:
Physical debris
Heavy foot traffic
High-vibration zones
Oil and chemical exposure
Typical applications include:
Steam turbines
Large centrifugal compressors
Industrial gearboxes
Heavy rotating machinery in refineries and power plants
Its armored construction ensures long-term signal integrity in mission-critical machinery protection systems.
Is the armor flexible enough for tight conduit routing?
Yes. While providing substantial mechanical protection, the cable maintains a practical minimum bend radius compatible with standard industrial conduit systems and cable trays.
What is the benefit of the 3-socket plug?
The 3-socket connector provides a keyed, moisture-resistant interface that ensures correct polarity, grounding continuity, and secure mating with compatible Bently Nevada sensors.
