Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-085-13-00 is an 8.5-meter 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable configured with an armored FluidLoc cable and connector protectors. It is designed for compatible 3300 XL proximity transducer systems, providing a robust connection between the proximity probe and Proximitor Sensor in demanding machinery-monitoring installations.
The 085 designation specifies the 8.5-meter cable length, while 13 identifies the armored FluidLoc configuration with connector protectors. The final 00 indicates that no additional agency approval option is required. This combination makes the model particularly attractive where both fluid-migration protection and enhanced mechanical protection are priorities.
For turbines, compressors, generators, pumps, and other critical rotating equipment, the 330130-085-13-00 offers more than simple cable extension. Its armored construction, FluidLoc design, and protected connection points provide a purpose-built solution for installations where cable durability can directly affect the reliability of the machinery monitoring system.

Applications
Turbine Monitoring
The 330130-085-13-00 is well suited to compatible 3300 XL proximity monitoring systems installed around steam and gas turbines. Its armored construction can provide additional protection where cables may be exposed to mechanical contact, vibration, or challenging routing conditions.
Compressor Monitoring
Large compressors frequently require long cable runs between the measurement point and signal-conditioning equipment. The 8.5-meter length provides useful routing flexibility, while the armored FluidLoc design adds protection in demanding machinery environments.
Oil-Lubricated Machinery
FluidLoc is particularly valuable where oil exposure is expected. It is designed to help restrict oil and liquid migration through the cable assembly, supporting the integrity of the instrumentation path over extended service periods.
Generator and Motor Applications
Compatible 3300 XL proximity systems are commonly used for shaft vibration and position monitoring on rotating equipment. The armored cable configuration is useful where additional physical protection is desirable around the cable route.
Pumps and Auxiliary Equipment
Industrial pumps and auxiliary rotating machinery can benefit from proximity-based condition monitoring. The 330130-085-13-00 offers a robust extension option for installations where cables may encounter oil, vibration, or mechanical exposure.
Heavy-Duty Industrial Installations
The combination of armor and FluidLoc makes this configuration particularly attractive for installations where a standard cable may not provide sufficient environmental or mechanical protection.
Maintenance and Retrofit Applications
For an existing 3300 XL installation requiring an 8.5-meter armored FluidLoc cable with connector protectors and no additional agency approval option, this model provides a clearly defined replacement configuration.
Advantages
Armored FluidLoc Construction
The 13 configuration combines two important protection features: armored mechanical protection and FluidLoc fluid-migration protection. This makes it a strong choice for machinery environments where both physical exposure and oil contamination are concerns.
Connector Protectors Included
The connector-protector configuration adds protection at the cable termination area, helping shield a mechanically sensitive part of the connection during installation, operation, and maintenance.
8.5-Meter Installation Flexibility
The 8.5-meter length provides ample reach for many large machinery installations. It gives engineers greater freedom to position the Proximitor Sensor and associated instrumentation in accessible locations.
Controlled Electrical Characteristics
The 75Ω triaxial construction and approximately 69.9 pF/m typical capacitance are aligned with the 3300 XL proximity measurement architecture. Maintaining the intended cable characteristics is important when building a correctly configured probe-extension cable-Proximitor system.
FEP Insulation
FEP insulation provides durable electrical isolation for industrial instrumentation applications and supports reliable performance in demanding operating environments.
Enhanced Mechanical Durability
Compared with a standard unarmored cable, the armored configuration offers additional physical protection. This can be particularly valuable where the cable route passes close to machinery structures or other areas with increased risk of mechanical damage.
Fluid Migration Protection
FluidLoc addresses a different risk from armor: the potential migration of oil or liquids through the cable. Combining the two provides a more comprehensive environmental protection strategy.
Purpose-Built 3300 XL Solution
The 330130 series is specifically designed as part of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system. Using a correctly specified extension cable helps maintain the intended electrical and mechanical relationship between the probe and Proximitor Sensor.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330130-085-13-00?
It is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable with an 8.5-meter length, armored FluidLoc construction, connector protectors, and no additional agency approval option.
2. How long is the cable?
The cable length is 8.5 meters (27.9 feet). The 085 ordering option specifically identifies this length.
3. What does “13” mean?
The 13 configuration identifies an armored FluidLoc cable with connector protectors. This provides both mechanical protection and fluid-migration protection.
4. What does the final “00” indicate?
The final 00 indicates that the cable is supplied with the agency approval option not required configuration.
5. What is FluidLoc used for?
FluidLoc is designed to help prevent oil and other liquids from migrating through the cable assembly. It is especially useful around oil-lubricated rotating machinery.
6. Why choose an armored cable?
Armor provides additional mechanical protection against physical damage, abrasion, and demanding cable-routing conditions. It can be advantageous where the cable cannot be fully isolated from the surrounding machinery environment.
7. Does this model include connector protection?
Yes. The 13 configuration includes connector protectors in addition to the armored FluidLoc cable.
8. What is the approximate weight?
A listed cable weight is approximately 0.29 kg, while shipping weight is commonly listed around 2 kg. Shipping weight includes packaging and should not be interpreted as the bare cable assembly weight.
9. What are the physical dimensions?
Because the 330130-085-13-00 is a flexible cable assembly, a single rectangular product dimension is not an appropriate representation of its installed size. For installation planning, the 8.5-meter length, cable diameter, connector dimensions, bend requirements, and routing space are the relevant considerations.
10. How does the 330130-085-13-00 differ from 330130-085-12-00?
Both configurations use an 8.5-meter cable with FluidLoc and connector protection. The key distinction is the cable construction: -12 is a FluidLoc cable with connector protectors, while -13 adds armored construction to the FluidLoc cable and connector-protector arrangement. The -13 version is therefore the stronger choice where additional mechanical protection is required.
