Technical FAQs
1. Is this cord compatible with all 3300 XL sensors?
Yes — it is designed to mate directly with 3300 XL proximity probes and accelerometers using 12‑pin MIL‑style connections.
2. Does it have shielding to protect the signal?
Yes, the cord features full shielding for protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
3. Can I shorten this cord in the field?
Field modification is not recommended, as altering the cord may compromise shielding and signal performance.
4. What temperature range can this cord withstand?
Operational range is ‑20…80 °C; storage range is ‑40…85 °C.
5. Can this cord be used outdoors?
Yes, with appropriate protective conduit or environmental safeguards in place.
6. Is strain relief included?
Yes, molded connector housings include integrated strain relief for durability.
7. How do I secure the connectors properly?
Use industry‑standard torque tools to ensure consistent, secure connections.
8. Does this cord support legacy 3300 products?
It is optimized for 3300 XL hardware; verify compatibility with earlier legacy products as needed.
9. What’s the difference between this and longer cables?
This cord’s 3 m length suits closer sensor placements, while longer versions support greater reach with fewer connection points.
