Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-045-13-05 is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable configured for demanding proximity monitoring installations where both mechanical protection and hazardous-area approvals are important. With a 4.5-meter cable length, armored FluidLoc® construction, connector protection, and multiple agency approvals, this model is designed to provide a dependable connection between compatible 3300 XL proximity probes and their associated Proximitor® sensors.
The part-number configuration is particularly useful for industrial plants where the cable must do more than simply extend the probe connection. The armored construction provides additional resistance to physical damage, while the FluidLoc® design helps control fluid migration through the cable. The -05 approval option further distinguishes this version from non-approved configurations by providing CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approval options for applicable hazardous-location installations.
For maintenance engineers, reliability specialists, and system integrators, the 330130-045-13-05 is a practical replacement and spare-parts choice when the installation calls for a 4.5-meter armored extension cable with connector protection and multiple approvals.

Applications
Hazardous-Area Machinery Monitoring
One of the key reasons to select the 330130-045-13-05 is its multiple-approval configuration. The CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approval options make this model appropriate for applicable installations where proximity monitoring equipment must satisfy hazardous-area requirements.
Turbine and Compressor Monitoring
The cable can form part of a 3300 XL proximity transducer system used to monitor shaft vibration, radial position, or other mechanical conditions on rotating equipment. Its armored construction is especially useful where cable routing is exposed to mechanical interference.
Oil, Gas, and Process Industries
FluidLoc® technology provides an additional advantage in installations where oil or other fluids may be present around machinery. Combined with the armored construction and connector protection, the cable is well suited to demanding industrial environments where ordinary cable arrangements may provide less protection.
Retrofit and Replacement Installations
For existing 3300 XL systems, using the correct part-number configuration can simplify replacement work. The 4.5-meter length is especially useful when the required total electrical system length has already been established and the replacement needs to maintain the original arrangement.
Critical Rotating Equipment
The 330130-045-13-05 can be incorporated into monitoring arrangements for compressors, steam turbines, gas turbines, pumps, motors, and other machinery where reliable proximity measurements are important for condition monitoring and machine protection.
Advantages
Built for More Demanding Cable Routes
The armored construction gives the 330130-045-13-05 an advantage where cable routing may expose the assembly to abrasion, accidental contact, or other mechanical stresses. It is a stronger installation-oriented choice than a basic unarmored configuration.
FluidLoc® Protection
FluidLoc® construction is designed to reduce the possibility of fluid migration through the cable. This feature is particularly valuable around rotating machinery where oil, lubricants, and other process fluids may be present.
Multiple Hazardous-Area Approvals
The -05 option is an important part of this model's specification. CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals make it suitable for applicable hazardous-area system designs, subject to the complete system certification and installation requirements.
Connector Protection Included
The connector-protector configuration adds another layer of environmental protection around the connection area. This can be especially helpful during field installation where connectors may otherwise be more exposed.
Accurate 4.5-Meter Configuration
The 4.5-meter cable length provides a defined option for systems requiring a specific total electrical length. In many 3300 XL arrangements, extension-cable and probe lengths are selected together, so maintaining the intended overall system length is an important part of correct component selection.
Strong Replacement Value
For maintenance departments, the 330130-045-13-05 is an attractive spare because its configuration is clearly defined by cable length, protection arrangement, and approval option. This makes it easier to identify when replacing an existing component with the same configuration.
