Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-085-13-05 is an 8.5-meter 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable engineered for compatible 3300 XL proximity transducer systems. It combines an armored FluidLoc cable construction with connector protectors, making it a particularly robust choice for machinery-monitoring installations where the cable may encounter oil, vibration, abrasion, or other mechanical stresses.
The part number is straightforward to decode: 085 identifies the 8.5-meter cable length, 13 specifies an armored FluidLoc cable with connector protectors, and 05 identifies the CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approval configuration. The 3300 XL documentation lists these options as part of the standard extension-cable ordering structure.
This configuration is well suited to critical rotating equipment where the extension cable is an integral part of the proximity measurement chain. By combining mechanical armor, FluidLoc fluid-migration protection, and connector protection, the 330130-085-13-05 delivers a practical balance of durability and installation flexibility.

Applications
Steam and Gas Turbine Monitoring
The 330130-085-13-05 is a strong candidate for compatible proximity-monitoring systems installed on steam and gas turbines. The armored cable construction provides additional protection where routing conditions around turbine equipment are demanding.
Centrifugal Compressor Protection
Large compressors often require proximity probes to be installed close to bearings or rotating shafts while the Proximitor Sensor is positioned farther away. The 8.5-meter cable provides useful routing distance, while FluidLoc and armor address environmental and mechanical concerns.
Oil and Gas Machinery
FluidLoc is particularly valuable around oil-lubricated equipment. It is designed to help restrict fluid migration through the cable, while the armored outer construction provides additional physical protection.
Generator Monitoring
The cable can form part of a compatible 3300 XL proximity system used to monitor shaft vibration and position on generators. Its combination of long reach and physical protection makes it suitable for complex machinery layouts.
Pump and Motor Applications
Industrial pumps, motors, and auxiliary rotating equipment can require continuous shaft monitoring. The 330130-085-13-05 provides a durable extension option when the cable route is exposed to mechanical or environmental hazards.
Petrochemical Processing Equipment
The 05 approval configuration is useful for applicable installations requiring CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals. Final equipment selection should always be matched to the certification requirements of the complete monitoring system and installation area.
Retrofit and Replacement Projects
For an existing 3300 XL installation requiring an 8.5-meter armored FluidLoc extension cable with connector protectors and the 05 approval configuration, this model provides an exact, clearly defined replacement configuration.
Advantages
Armored FluidLoc Protection
The defining feature of the 13 configuration is the combination of armor and FluidLoc. Armor provides mechanical protection, while FluidLoc addresses fluid migration. Together they create a more comprehensive protection strategy for demanding machinery environments.
Connector Protection Included
The connector-protector option adds another layer of protection at the termination area. This is especially useful where the connection may be exposed during installation, inspection, or routine maintenance.
8.5-Meter Installation Reach
An 8.5-meter length gives maintenance and installation teams considerable freedom when routing the proximity-system connection around large machinery. It can help keep signal-conditioning equipment in an accessible location.
75Ω Triaxial Construction
The 75Ω triaxial design is intended for the electrical characteristics of the 3300 XL proximity system. Maintaining the correct cable configuration helps preserve predictable signal transmission between the probe and Proximitor Sensor.
FEP Insulation
FEP insulation supports reliable electrical isolation in demanding industrial environments and is part of the standard 3300 XL extension-cable construction.
Hazardous-Area Approval Configuration
The 05 option identifies CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals, providing a versatile configuration for applicable hazardous-area projects.
Stronger Mechanical Protection
Compared with a standard unarmored extension cable, the 330130-085-13-05 offers additional protection against abrasion and physical contact. This can be particularly valuable when the cable route cannot be fully isolated from surrounding machinery.
Purpose-Built for 3300 XL
The 330130 family is designed as part of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system. This makes the cable a logical choice for maintaining an established Bently Nevada measurement architecture rather than substituting a generic instrumentation cable.
Technical FAQs
1. What is the Bently Nevada 330130-085-13-05?
It is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable with an 8.5-meter length, armored FluidLoc construction, connector protectors, and CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.
2. How long is the 330130-085-13-05?
The nominal cable length is 8.5 meters (27.9 feet). The 085 ordering option identifies this length.
3. What does “13” mean?
The 13 option specifies an armored FluidLoc cable with connector protectors. This is one of the more comprehensively protected cable configurations in the 330130 family.
4. What does the final “05” indicate?
The 05 approval option identifies the configuration with CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.
5. What is FluidLoc?
FluidLoc is a cable construction intended to help restrict the migration of oil and other fluids through the cable assembly. It is especially useful in oil-lubricated machinery environments.
6. Is the cable armored?
Yes. The 13 configuration uses an armored FluidLoc cable. The published 3300 XL documentation specifies a maximum armor outside diameter of approximately 7.6 mm.
7. Does it include connector protectors?
Yes. The 13 configuration includes connector protectors. The documentation identifies the installed connector protector as having a maximum diameter of approximately 12 mm.
8. What is the approximate cable weight?
A product specification lists the cable weight at approximately 0.29 kg.
9. What dimensions are important for installation?
For installation planning, the most useful dimensions are the 8.5-meter cable length, approximately 7.6 mm maximum armor diameter, approximately 9.0 mm maximum armor-ferrule diameter, and approximately 12 mm maximum connector-protector diameter. The cable itself is flexible rather than a rigid rectangular product.
10. How does the 330130-085-13-05 differ from 330130-085-11-05?
Both are 8.5-meter armored FluidLoc cables with the 05 approval configuration. The key difference is the connector protection: 11-05 is armored FluidLoc without connector protectors, while 13-05 adds connector protectors. The 13 configuration is therefore preferable when additional protection around the cable connections is required.
