Bently Nevada 330130-080-00-CN Extension Cable

Overview

The Bently Nevada 330130-080-00-CN Extension Cable delivers reliable signal transmission for the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. The cable links the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor and maintains stable eddy-current signals in harsh industrial environments. Engineers rely on this model because it preserves measurement accuracy over extended distances. Moreover, the CN-variant supports regional compliance requirements for installations in China. The robust FEP-insulated triaxial construction ensures long service life in turbines, compressors, motors, and other critical rotating assets.
