FluidLoc Extension Cable Designed for Reliable Industrial Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 330130-085-10-RU 3300 XL Standard Extension Cord is a specialized extension cable engineered for the 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System. It provides a dependable electrical connection between the 3300 XL Proximity Probe and the 3300 XL Proximitor® Sensor, ensuring precise transmission of vibration and shaft position signals while maintaining the calibrated performance of the complete transducer system.
This model features an 8.5-meter FluidLoc® cable, designed to help prevent fluid migration through the cable in applications where oil or other process fluids may be present. Combined with the RU regional configuration, it is well suited for rotating machinery operating in challenging industrial environments, including oil and gas, petrochemical processing, power generation, and heavy manufacturing. The 330130 ordering structure identifies 085 as the 8.5 m cable length and 10 as the FluidLoc cable option.
