Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-070-02-05 is a 7.0-meter 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable with connector protectors and multiple approval options, designed for use with compatible 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems. It provides a reliable connection between the proximity probe and Proximitor® sensor while adding additional protection around the cable connection points.
This configuration combines three important features within the part number: 070 represents the 7.0-meter cable length, 02 identifies a standard cable with connector protectors, and 05 indicates the multiple approval option including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. This makes it different from the standard 330130-070-00-05 model, which does not include connector protectors.
Designed for demanding industrial machinery-monitoring environments, the 330130-070-02-05 provides a practical solution where cable connection protection, installation flexibility, and hazardous-area approval requirements are all important. It is widely suitable for turbines, compressors, pumps, generators, and other critical rotating equipment where reliable proximity measurement is required.

Applications
Turbine Monitoring Systems
The 330130-070-02-05 is suitable for compatible 3300 XL proximity monitoring systems installed on steam turbines, gas turbines, and other rotating machinery. The 7-meter length provides installation flexibility between sensing locations and monitoring cabinets.
Compressor Condition Monitoring
Compressors often require reliable shaft vibration and position measurement. The connector protector design helps provide additional protection around cable connection areas where vibration and environmental exposure may occur.
Power Generation Equipment
Power plants depend on accurate machinery-condition data for critical rotating assets. This extension cable supports stable signal transmission between proximity probes and Proximitor® sensors in suitable 3300 XL systems.
Pumps and Motors
Industrial pumps, motors, and generators can use proximity monitoring systems to detect shaft movement and vibration changes. The 330130-070-02-05 provides a practical cable solution for installations requiring connector protection.
Hazardous Area Applications
With the 05 approval option, this model is designed for systems requiring CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approval configurations. The complete installation must still meet the applicable hazardous-area requirements.
Maintenance Replacement
When an existing installation specifies a 7-meter standard cable with connector protectors and approval requirements, the exact 330130-070-02-05 part number provides a reliable replacement reference.
Advantages
Integrated Connector Protection
The main difference between this model and a standard cable version is the built-in connector protection. The protector helps shield connection points from mechanical contact, handling stress, and environmental exposure.
7-Meter Installation Flexibility
The 7-meter length provides additional routing distance for machinery installations where the Proximitor® sensor cannot be located directly beside the measurement point.
Hazardous Area Approval Option
The -05 configuration provides CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approval capability, making it suitable for applications where recognized certification requirements are needed.
Stable Electrical Performance
The 75-ohm triaxial cable design and controlled capacitance help maintain the signal characteristics required by the 3300 XL proximity measurement system.
Reduced Connector Maintenance Risk
Connector areas are often more vulnerable than the cable itself. The integrated protector provides additional support and can help reduce damage caused by installation handling or nearby mechanical activity.
Compact Standard Cable Design
Unlike armored versions, the 02 configuration maintains the compact profile of a standard cable while adding protection only where it is most needed.
Accurate Spare-Part Identification
The complete part number identifies the cable length, connector-protection option, and approval configuration. This simplifies maintenance inventory management and replacement selection.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330130-070-02-05?
It is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable featuring a 7.0-meter standard cable, connector protectors, and CSA/ATEX/IECEx approval option.
2. How long is the cable?
The cable length is 7.0 meters (22.9 feet). The “070” section defines the length option.
3. What does the “02” option mean?
The 02 option indicates a standard cable configuration with connector protectors.
4. What does the “05” suffix represent?
The 05 suffix identifies the multiple approval configuration, including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.
5. Does this cable have armor protection?
No. The 330130-070-02-05 uses a standard cable configuration with connector protectors. It does not include the armored cable option.
6. What is the cable diameter?
The standard cable diameter is approximately 3.7 mm (0.15 in). The connector protector area is larger, reaching approximately 12.4 mm (0.49 in).
