Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-00 is a 6.0-meter 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable intended for use within compatible 3300 XL proximity monitoring arrangements. Its straightforward standard-cable configuration makes it a practical option when an installation requires additional distance between a proximity probe and the associated monitoring electronics without adding armored or connector-protection options.
With a nominal length of 6.0 meters (19.7 feet), this model is designed for applications where cable length is an important part of the overall proximity transducer system. The 330130-060-00-00 uses the standard cable configuration and carries the 00 approval option, meaning no additional agency approval option is specified for the part number.
For maintenance teams, OEM replacement programs, and industrial system integrators, this cable provides a clean and economical way to maintain an existing 3300 XL installation. Its relatively slim standard construction can also simplify routing in machinery areas where additional armor is not necessary.

Applications
3300 XL Proximity Measurement Systems
The primary role of the 330130-060-00-00 is to provide the required extension between compatible proximity-probe equipment and the associated Proximitor® sensor or monitoring arrangement. Correct cable selection helps preserve the intended electrical characteristics of the complete measurement chain.
Rotating Machinery Monitoring
This type of extension cable is commonly used in proximity-based monitoring arrangements for turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, generators, and other rotating machinery where shaft position, vibration, or displacement measurements are required.
Equipment Retrofit Projects
The 6-meter configuration can be useful when an existing machine layout requires a longer connection path than shorter extension options provide. It offers a defined length without introducing additional armored construction that may not be necessary for a protected installation.
Plant Maintenance and Spare Parts
For facilities operating established 3300 XL systems, keeping correctly configured extension cables available can make maintenance work more efficient. The exact part number provides a clear reference for replacement purchasing and helps avoid confusion between cables with different lengths or protection options.
Controlled Industrial Environments
Because this is the standard unarmored configuration, it is particularly appropriate where the cable can be routed through a protected path and does not require additional mechanical armor.
Advantages
Practical 6-Meter Reach
The 6.0-meter length gives maintenance and engineering teams useful installation flexibility without moving to a longer cable configuration than the application requires. It can be a convenient choice for machinery layouts with moderate distances between the probe and monitoring equipment.
Slim Standard Construction
With an approximate diameter of 3.2 mm, the standard cable is compact and relatively easy to route. This can be valuable around crowded machinery, instrument panels, cable trays, and confined installation spaces.
Designed for 3300 XL Applications
The 330130 series is intended for 3300 XL proximity measurement arrangements. Using the specified extension cable helps maintain the designed electrical relationship between the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor® sensor.
Wide Temperature Capability
Available technical information indicates a broad operating-temperature range of approximately -51°C to +177°C, making the cable suitable for many demanding industrial environments when the complete system installation requirements are satisfied.
Straightforward Replacement
The standard 00-00 configuration avoids additional armor and approval options that may be unnecessary for a conventional installation. For like-for-like maintenance replacement, this can make part identification and procurement more straightforward.
Cost-Conscious System Maintenance
When an installation does not require armored protection or special agency approvals, a standard extension cable can provide a practical and economical replacement route while retaining the required 3300 XL system configuration.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-00?
It is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable with a nominal length of 6.0 meters. The model uses the standard cable configuration without an additional agency-approval option.
2. How long is the 330130-060-00-00?
The cable length is 6.0 meters (19.7 feet). The “060” portion of the part number identifies this length option.
3. Is the 330130-060-00-00 an armored cable?
No. The 00 cable option represents the standard configuration rather than an armored extension arrangement. If additional mechanical protection is needed, a differently configured 330130 model should be selected.
4. Does this model include a connector protector?
The 330130-060-00-00 is the standard 00 connector/cable configuration, so it does not represent the connector-protector option used on certain other 3300 XL extension-cable variants.
5. What does the final “00” mean?
The final 00 identifies the agency-approval configuration as not required for this part number.
6. What is the approximate diameter of the cable?
Available product specifications list an approximate cable diameter of 3.2 mm (0.13 in).
7. What is the approximate weight of the cable?
The bare 6-meter cable is approximately 0.27–0.30 kg, depending on the specific basis of the published specification. Shipping weight can be considerably higher because it includes packaging.
8. What is the recommended bend radius?
A minimum recommended bend radius of approximately 19 mm (0.75 in) is listed for this standard cable configuration. Maintaining an appropriate bend radius helps protect the cable during installation.
9. Where can the 330130-060-00-00 be used?
It can be used in compatible 3300 XL proximity monitoring installations, including machinery vibration and shaft-position monitoring applications. Typical equipment includes turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, and generators.
10. What should be checked before ordering this cable?
Confirm the complete part number, required 6-meter length, cable construction, connector configuration, approval requirements, compatible proximity probe, and total system cable length. These details are more important than selecting a cable solely because it has the same physical connector.
