Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-05 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable
Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-05 is a 6.0-meter 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable designed for proximity measurement systems that require a longer standard cable together with recognized hazardous-area approval options. It combines the compact, unarmored construction of the standard 3300 XL extension cable with the -05 agency approval configuration, supporting installations where CSA, ATEX, and IECEx requirements need to be considered.
At 6.0 meters (19.7 feet), this extension cable provides useful routing flexibility between a compatible 3300 XL proximity probe and the associated Proximitor® sensor. The standard cable configuration avoids the added bulk of armored versions, making it a practical choice for protected cable routes, instrument cabinets, machinery skids, and other controlled installation environments.
The 330130-060-00-05 is particularly attractive as a replacement component when an existing system already uses a 6-meter extension and requires the approved version of the standard cable. Correct selection should always account for the complete probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor system length.

Applications
Hazardous-Area Proximity Monitoring
The major distinction of the 330130-060-00-05 is its 05 approval option. The configuration is intended for applications where CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals are required or specified as part of the installation. The applicable certification must be evaluated together with the complete proximity system and installation method.
Turbine and Compressor Systems
The 6-meter extension length is well suited to machinery layouts where the proximity probe is positioned some distance from the monitoring electronics. Typical applications include turbines, compressors, generators, pumps, and other rotating assets.
Industrial Machinery Protection
In continuous condition-monitoring systems, a correctly configured extension cable forms an important part of the signal path between the proximity probe and Proximitor sensor. The 330130-060-00-05 can support installations where accurate shaft displacement and vibration information is required.
Retrofit Applications
This model is a useful option for replacing an existing 6-meter approved extension cable. Matching the original cable length and approval configuration can help simplify retrofit work while reducing the risk of selecting an electrically or mechanically different alternative.
Protected Cable Routes
Because the 00 cable option is a standard, unarmored configuration, it is best suited to cable routes where additional stainless-steel armor is not necessary. It offers a slimmer alternative to armored 6-meter versions and can be easier to route around crowded equipment.
Advantages
Six Meters of Practical Installation Reach
The 6.0-meter length provides a useful balance between routing flexibility and manageable cable size. It can accommodate equipment layouts where a shorter 4.5-meter extension is insufficient while avoiding unnecessary excess cable.
Approved Standard Configuration
The 330130-060-00-05 combines the standard cable configuration with the 05 approval option. This makes it a useful choice when the installation requires the applicable CSA, ATEX, or IECEx approval configuration without requiring armored cable construction.
Compact Cable Profile
The unarmored standard cable has a much smaller physical profile than armored alternatives. This can simplify routing through narrow spaces, instrument panels, junction areas, and machinery enclosures.
Suitable for Established 3300 XL Systems
The model belongs to the 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable family and follows the defined part-number configuration used for selecting cable length, cable type, and approval option. This makes like-for-like replacement easier when the original system documentation is available.
No Additional Power Requirement
As a passive extension component, the cable does not require its own power supply. It simply forms part of the electrical connection between compatible components in the proximity transducer system.
Flexible Maintenance Option
For plants maintaining approved machinery-monitoring installations, the 330130-060-00-05 offers a practical spare-parts option when the application calls for a 6-meter standard cable with multiple agency approvals.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330130-060-00-05?
It is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable with a 6.0-meter length, standard unarmored cable construction, and the 05 agency-approval option.
2. How long is the 330130-060-00-05?
The cable is 6.0 meters (19.7 feet) long. The “060” portion of the part number identifies the cable length.
3. What does the “00” cable option mean?
The 00 cable option identifies the standard cable configuration. It is not the armored, FluidLoc®, or connector-protected cable option.
4. What does the final “05” mean?
The final 05 represents the agency-approval configuration associated with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.
5. Is the 330130-060-00-05 an armored extension cable?
No. The 00 cable configuration is the standard, unarmored option. For installations requiring additional mechanical protection, an armored 330130 configuration should be considered instead.
6. Does this model include a connector protector?
No. The 330130-060-00-05 uses the 00 standard cable configuration. Connector-protected versions are identified by different cable-option codes within the 330130 family.
7. Can this cable be used in hazardous areas?
The -05 configuration provides CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approval options. However, suitability for a specific hazardous location depends on the complete certified system, area classification, installation method, and applicable certification requirements.
8. What is the approximate cable diameter?
The standard 3300 XL extension cable is approximately 3.2 mm (0.13 in) in diameter. This compact profile can be advantageous where installation space is limited.
9. How much does the 330130-060-00-05 weigh?
The physical cable mass for a 6-meter standard configuration is approximately 0.27–0.30 kg. Packaging and shipping weight may be higher.
10. What should be checked when replacing this cable?
Confirm the complete part number, 6-meter cable length, standard cable construction, approval option, compatible probe and Proximitor sensor, and required total system length. Bently Nevada's system configuration requires the probe and extension cable lengths to be selected together with the appropriate Proximitor sensor length.
