Bently Nevada 3300 Transducer System Interconnect Cable 16710-27

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 16710-27 is a specialized industrial signal transmission cable. It bridges the gap between field-mounted vibration sensors and remote monitoring systems.

Industrial Applications

Plant operators deploy this heavy-duty cable within Turbomachinery Instrumentation (TSI) networks. It specifically routes critical dynamic signals from a Bently Nevada 330400 accelerometer to main monitoring racks. The hardware ensures continuous data streams on major rotating machinery. These systems include high-speed steam turbines, industrial gas compressors, large cooling pumps, and hydro-turbines.

Key Technical Characteristics

Physical Packaging and Armoring

The structural engineering incorporates a tough stainless steel outer armor sheath. This design layer protects the inner cores from crushing forces, sharp metal shavings, and routing stress. Inside the armor, the layout features four conductors organized as two distinct twisted pairs. These conductors utilize 22 AWG ($0.5\text{ mm}^2$) stranded copper wires to combine excellent conductivity with high mechanical flexibility. The finished assembly provides a female sensor-end connector and robust terminal lugs on the receiver end.

Electrical Integrity and Performance

The electrical architecture supports consistent data acquisition by maintaining a nominal impedance of $100\ \Omega\ \pm 15\%$ at a frequency of 1 MHz. The insulation layer easily handles system voltage ratings up to 300V AC/DC. Furthermore, the multi-wire stainless steel shield grounds external noise. This grounding delivers maximum immunity against ambient electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency signals.

Operational Limits

The manufacturer optimizes the physical properties of this cable assembly for standard industrial sensor environments. Proper installation protects weak high-frequency signal waveforms from degradation or external distortion. Consequently, technicians must verify that field operating parameters match system routing specs to maintain peak sensor accuracy.
