Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 102242-00-05-50 is a high-integrity 3300 XL Extension Cable designed to bridge the gap between proximity probes and Proximitor® sensors. This 5.0-meter shielded cable acts as a critical signal conduit within the 3300 XL Proximity Transducer System, ensuring that high-frequency vibration and displacement data reach the monitoring rack without loss or distortion. Engineered for the demanding environments of steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large pumps, this cable maintains precise electrical impedance to prevent calibration errors in machinery protection systems.

Part Number Breakdown: 102242-00-05-50

Bently Nevada utilizes a specific coding sequence to define cable length and protective options:

• 102242: Defines the 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable series (75 $\Omega$ coaxial).

• -00: Indicates the standard cable option without specialized armor.

• -05: Specifies a total cable length of 5.0 meters.

• -50: Designates a total cable sleeve length of 5.0 meters for comprehensive insulation.

Technical Specifications

The 102242-00-05-50 features advanced coaxial construction to preserve signal purity across its entire length.

Engineering Advantages

• Total Signal Integrity: The 102242-00-05-50 utilizes a constant-impedance coaxial design. This prevents signal reflection and attenuation, ensuring that the 3500 Series monitor receives an exact representation of shaft vibration and position.

• Superior Noise Immunity: Industrial environments generate significant electrical noise from motors and switchgear. This cable features high-density shielding that blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI), maintaining a clean signal even when routed through dense cable trays.

• Extreme Thermal Resilience: Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 180 °C, this cable survives in close proximity to hot turbine casings and high-pressure steam lines where standard industrial cables would degrade or melt.

• Gold-Plated Precision Connectors: The coaxial connectors feature gold plating to resist corrosion and ensure a low-resistance connection. This hardware-level detail prevents signal drift over years of continuous operation in humid or oily atmospheres.

FAQs

Q: Is the Bently Nevada 102242-00-05-50 supplied as 100% Brand New?

A: Yes. We supply only 100% Brand New and Original Bently Nevada hardware in factory-sealed packaging. Each cable includes a 12-month factory warranty to ensure the reliability of your machinery protection loops.

Q: Can I use this 5m cable with a 9m Proximitor® sensor?

A: No. Transducer systems require matched lengths. A 5-meter system must consist of a 1-meter probe and a 4-meter extension cable, or a 0.5-meter probe and a 4.5-meter extension. Using the 102242-00-05-50 (5m) requires a Proximitor® sensor specifically calibrated for a 5-meter total system length.

Q: Does this cable include protective armor?

A: The "-00" option indicates a standard cable. If your application requires fluid-tight flexible armor for protection against mechanical damage or oil ingress, you must select the appropriate armored part number variant.

Q: What is the benefit of the 5.0m sleeve length (-50)?

A: The sleeve provides full-length insulation and environmental protection for the coaxial core. The "-50" option ensures the sleeve covers the entire 5.0-meter span, leaving no exposed sections vulnerable to moisture or chemical exposure.
