Product introduction
The 330103-00-03-05-02-05 from Bently Nevada is a precision-engineered proximitor sensor cable assembly designed as a critical connection component in the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor System. This 3-meter cable serves as the vital link between proximity sensors and monitoring equipment, ensuring the accurate transmission of low-level eddy current signals essential for vibration, position, and displacement measurements. Bently Nevada’s 330103-00-03-05-02-05 is specifically engineered to maintain signal integrity in harsh industrial environments, complementing components like the 330901-05-32-05-02-00 accelerometer to form a comprehensive machinery monitoring solution.
Bently Nevada’s 330103-00-03-05-02-05 addresses the unique challenges of signal transmission in proximity sensing applications, where even minor interference can compromise measurement accuracy. Its specialized construction minimizes noise pickup while withstanding extreme temperatures and mechanical stress, making it ideal for connecting 330100-90-01 housed sensors to signal conditioners and monitoring systems. This cable assembly plays a crucial role in preserving the calibration accuracy established by tools like the 330130-085-00-00, ensuring reliable data flows through the entire monitoring chain.
Core advantages and technical highlights
Superior signal integrity: The 330103-00-03-05-02-05 features a dual-shielded design with twisted-pair conductors and an overall braided shield, providing exceptional rejection of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This construction ensures that weak proximity sensor signals remain uncorrupted during transmission, preserving the precision required for detecting subtle machinery vibrations and position changes.
Extreme environment performance: With an operating temperature range of -51°C to +149°C, this cable assembly thrives in the most demanding industrial conditions, from freezing outdoor installations to high-temperature turbine enclosures. Its rugged fluoropolymer jacket resists oil, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring reliable performance in environments where standard cables would degrade rapidly.
Flexible termination options: The 330103-00-03-05-02-05 features stripped and tinned leads on one end, providing flexibility for custom terminations to junction boxes, terminal blocks, or monitoring equipment. This design allows for easy integration into existing systems while maintaining the cable’s noise-rejection properties—a valuable feature in retrofit applications or custom monitoring setups.
System-optimized design: Engineered specifically for 3300 XL proximity sensors, the cable maintains precise impedance matching with 330100-90-01 sensor housings and 330180 series sensors. This electrical compatibility is critical for maintaining measurement accuracy, ensuring that the sensor’s full performance capabilities are realized in the final monitoring system.
Typical application scenarios
In power generation facilities, the 330103-00-03-05-02-05 connects proximity sensors monitoring turbine shaft vibration and position to local junction boxes or signal conditioners. Its high-temperature rating allows installation in turbine enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 100°C, while its EMI resistance ensures accurate signal transmission despite the electrical noise from generator systems. The cable’s 3-meter length provides ideal reach for sensors mounted on bearing housings to nearby monitoring equipment.
Oil and gas processing plants utilize the 330103-00-03-05-02-05 to connect proximity sensors on compressor shafts and pump rotors to control systems. Its chemical-resistant jacket withstands exposure to hydrocarbons and cleaning agents, while its flexible construction allows installation in the tight spaces common in compressor skids. The cable’s shielded design ensures reliable operation even near variable frequency drives and high-voltage equipment.
Manufacturing facilities deploy the 330103-00-03-05-02-05 in machine tool monitoring applications, connecting proximity sensors to control systems that monitor spindle vibration and position. The cable’s stripped leads allow for secure termination in control cabinets, while its vibration resistance ensures reliable performance on machinery subject to continuous operation and mechanical stress. Data transmitted through this cable helps operators maintain precision in manufacturing processes by detecting early signs of machine degradation.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions
Installation preparation: Before installing the 330103-00-03-05-02-05, verify that the 3-meter length matches installation requirements and that the sensor and monitoring equipment connections are compatible. Required tools include wire strippers, crimp tools (if needed), heat shrink tubing, and a torque wrench for sensor connections. Inspect the cable for shipping damage, checking for jacket cuts, shield damage, or conductor breaks. Ensure routing paths avoid sharp edges, excessive heat sources, and high-voltage cables to prevent signal interference or physical damage.
Maintenance suggestions: To maintain optimal performance of the 330103-00-03-05-02-05, conduct semi-annual visual inspections to check for cable jacket integrity, proper shielding termination, and secure connections. Verify that the shield is properly grounded at both ends to maintain EMI protection. During sensor recalibration with the 330130-085-00-00, check for signal degradation by comparing measurements with known standards. If intermittent signal issues occur, inspect terminations for corrosion or loosening before replacing the cable. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius or subjecting it to continuous flexing.
