Product Details

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 16710-10 acts as a high-fidelity signal bridge between field transducers and the monitoring rack within 3300 and 3500 Machinery Protection System architectures. This 10-foot (3.05m) interconnect cable carries sensitive -200 mV/µm vibration and proximity signals while maintaining total data integrity. Engineered for the harshest industrial sectors, the cable utilizes an interlocked stainless steel armor sheath to defend against crushing and mechanical abrasion. It serves as the vital link that ensures dynamic vibration signatures reach the protection system without attenuation or environmental interference.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

The 16710-10 provides specialized electrical and physical defenses to solve common machinery monitoring failures:

• Superior EMI/RFI Suppression: The dual-layer shielding system (aluminum foil combined with a tinned copper braid) achieves over 85% coverage. This rejects electromagnetic interference from nearby high-voltage equipment, preserving the accuracy of low-voltage shaft position measurements.

• Mechanical Crushing Resistance: The interlocked stainless steel armor prevents signal degradation caused by cable pinching, foot traffic, or heavy tooling impacts. This robust sheath maintains the internal cable geometry, which is critical for consistent impedance and signal timing.

• Oil-Hardened Protection: The specialized black PVC outer jacket resists degradation from turbine oils, lubricants, and common industrial chemicals. This prevents the cable from becoming brittle or shorting out in the fluid-rich environments of power plants and refineries.

• Secure MS-Style Interface: The factory-terminated 3-pin circular MS-style plug provides a positive-locking, vibration-proof connection to Bently Nevada proximity probe extension cables. This ensures the signal path remains intact despite the constant mechanical oscillation of the machinery housing.

FAQs

• Is the Bently Nevada 16710-10 cable 100% Brand New?

  Yes. We supply the 16710-10 in 100% Brand New and Original condition. Each cable arrives in its factory-sealed packaging, ensuring that the connectors and armor meet the highest OEM quality standards for machinery protection.

• Does this cable support 3300 XL and 9000 series probes?

  Yes. Bently Nevada optimized the 16710-10 specifically for the signal characteristics of the 3300 XL and 9000 series proximity systems. It maintains the required sensitivity and impedance for these API 670 compliant systems.

• What is the difference between the 16710-10 and shorter versions?

  The "-10" suffix denotes a 10-foot (3.05-meter) length. While the electrical and mechanical properties remain identical to the 16710-08 (8ft), the additional length provides more flexibility for routing through complex conduit paths or larger machine enclosures.

• Are the terminal lugs ready for installation?

  Yes. Connector B features pre-crimped insulated terminal lugs. This allows for immediate termination into the terminal blocks of a 3500/15 power supply or 3500/42M monitor without requiring specialized field crimping tools.
