Introduction
The Bently Nevada 330130-045-02-00 is a 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable designed for use with compatible 3300 XL proximity transducer systems. It provides the electrical connection between a compatible proximity probe and Proximitor Sensor, helping extend the sensing circuit while maintaining the intended system configuration.
This model features a 4.5-meter (14.8 ft) cable length, making it a useful choice when the installation requires more reach than the 3.0 m, 3.5 m, or 4.0 m versions. The 02 configuration adds connector protectors to the standard cable, while the final 00 indicates that no additional agency approval option is required.
The cable is designed around the requirements of the 3300 XL proximity measurement architecture. Because the extension cable is part of the complete electrical system, its length should be selected together with the probe length so that the combined length corresponds to the required Proximitor Sensor system length.
For maintenance departments, OEM replacement programs, and industrial condition-monitoring projects, the 330130-045-02-00 offers a practical combination of extended reach and connector protection. It is particularly attractive where a clean, purpose-built 3300 XL replacement is preferred over a generic instrumentation cable.

Applications
Turbine Shaft Monitoring
The 330130-045-02-00 can be incorporated into turbine monitoring systems where proximity probes measure shaft vibration and position. Its 4.5-meter length provides additional routing flexibility between field-mounted sensors and the associated Proximitor Sensor.
Compressor Condition Monitoring
Large compressor installations often require instrumentation cables to travel from bearing housings or measurement points to remotely mounted signal-conditioning equipment. The 4.5 m configuration can provide the additional reach needed for these layouts.
Generator Monitoring
In generator applications, proximity probes may be positioned close to rotating shafts while monitoring electronics are installed in a separate instrumentation area. This extension cable provides a purpose-built connection for compatible 3300 XL systems.
Pump and Motor Protection
The cable can be used in proximity-based monitoring arrangements for industrial pumps, motors, and motor-driven equipment. It supports the physical signal connection required for continuous machinery condition monitoring.
Fluid-Film Bearing Machinery
The 3300 XL proximity transducer platform is suitable for machinery using fluid-film bearings. The extension cable forms part of the complete measurement path used to observe shaft movement, vibration, and position.
Machinery Protection Systems
For critical rotating equipment, dependable connections between field sensors and monitoring electronics are essential. The connector-protector configuration adds physical protection around the cable connection points, making it suitable for demanding plant environments.
Maintenance and Retrofit Projects
The 330130-045-02-00 is a practical replacement option for existing 3300 XL installations where a 4.5-meter extension cable with connector protectors is required.
Industrial Condition Monitoring
The model can support vibration-monitoring installations across power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, and other process industries where 3300 XL proximity technology is already deployed.
Advantages
Extended 4.5-Meter Reach
The 4.5-meter cable length provides useful installation freedom where a shorter extension would not provide sufficient routing distance. It can also be selected when a specific total probe-and-extension system length is required.
Built-In Connector Protection
The 02 configuration includes connector protectors designed to shield the connection area from incidental mechanical contact. This is a valuable feature during installation, inspection, and routine maintenance.
Purpose-Built 3300 XL Design
Rather than relying on a generic cable, the 330130-045-02-00 is configured specifically for compatible 3300 XL proximity transducer applications, making component matching more straightforward.
75 Ω Triaxial Construction
The 75 Ω triaxial cable design supports the electrical characteristics required by the associated proximity measurement system and provides controlled signal transmission.
FEP Insulation
FEP insulation contributes to the cable's suitability for industrial instrumentation environments and provides a durable insulating layer around the signal conductors.
Compact Cable Profile
With a maximum cable outside diameter of approximately 3.7 mm, the extension cable remains relatively compact and can be routed through confined instrumentation spaces more easily than many heavier industrial cables.
Protected Connection Area
The connector-protector section has a maximum diameter of approximately 12.4 mm, providing additional mechanical coverage around the miniature coaxial connection.
Flexible Installation Planning
The 4.5 m length offers an intermediate solution between shorter 4-meter cables and longer configurations. This can make it easier to achieve the required total system length without unnecessary excess cable.
Easy Identification
The model number clearly defines the important configuration characteristics:
- 330130 — 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable
- 045 — 4.5 m cable length
- 02 — Standard cable with connector protectors
- 00 — Agency approval not required
This straightforward configuration is helpful when ordering replacements or managing spare parts.
Strong Replacement Value
For plants already operating 3300 XL monitoring systems, the 330130-045-02-00 provides a convenient like-for-like replacement solution when the original installation calls for a 4.5-meter cable with connector protection.
Technical FAQs

2. How long is the 330130-045-02-00 cable?
The cable length is 4.5 meters (14.8 feet). The 045 portion of the model number identifies the 4.5-meter length option.
3. What does the 02 configuration mean?
The 02 configuration specifies a standard cable with connector protectors. It differs from the standard 00 cable configuration, which does not include connector protectors.
4. What does the final 00 indicate?
The final 00 represents the agency approval option and indicates that an additional agency approval configuration is not required.
5. What type of cable is used?
The extension cable uses a 75 Ω triaxial construction with FEP insulation and a typical capacitance of approximately 69.9 pF/m.
6. What are the physical dimensions?
The cable has a maximum outside diameter of approximately 3.7 mm. The connector-protector section has a maximum diameter of approximately 12.4 mm and a length of approximately 51.1 mm.
7. What is the weight of the 330130-045-02-00?
The commonly specified shipping weight is approximately 2 kg. This figure includes packaging and should not be treated as the exact bare cable assembly weight.
8. Why is the 4.5-meter length important?
The extension cable length contributes to the total electrical length of the proximity transducer system. The extension cable and probe lengths should be selected so their combined length matches the total system length required by the Proximitor Sensor.
9. Can this cable be used with a 3300 XL 8 mm proximity probe?
Yes, when the probe and Proximitor Sensor are part of a compatible 3300 XL system and the combined probe-plus-extension length is correctly matched.
10. What should be confirmed before purchasing?
Before ordering, verify the model number, 4.5-meter length, 02 connector-protector configuration, approval requirement, compatible probe, Proximitor Sensor model, and total system length. These details help prevent an otherwise physically suitable cable from being incorrectly substituted into the measurement system.
