Vibration Monitoring Solution — Bently Nevada 16710-32 | 3300 Series Interconnect Cable
Where This Product Is Used
The Bently Nevada 16710-32 Interconnect Cable is a purpose-engineered signal transmission cable designed for use within the 3300 Series Proximity Transducer System. It serves as the critical link between the proximity probe and the proximitor (signal conditioning module), enabling accurate, low-noise eddy-current displacement measurements in demanding industrial environments.
Typical deployment sites include:
- Rotating machinery protection systems — steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors in power generation and oil & gas facilities
- Continuous process plants — petrochemical refineries, LNG terminals, and chemical processing units where shaft vibration and axial position monitoring are safety-critical
- Marine propulsion systems — shipboard turbine and gearbox monitoring requiring vibration data under harsh, high-humidity conditions
- Pulp & paper and steel mills — high-temperature, high-vibration environments demanding robust cable shielding and connector integrity
- Compressor trains — centrifugal and reciprocating compressors where API 670 compliance mandates continuous shaft monitoring

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- System-matched performance: Engineered specifically for the 3300 Series, ensuring impedance matching and signal integrity that generic cables cannot guarantee.
- Low-noise signal path: High-coverage braid shielding eliminates interference from adjacent power cables, VFDs, and high-voltage equipment common in industrial switchgear rooms.
- Standardized 32 ft length: The 16710-32 covers the most common probe-to-proximitor routing distances in turbine pedestals and compressor skids without requiring field splicing.
- Connector reliability: Factory-terminated connectors maintain consistent contact resistance and pull-out force ratings — critical for vibration environments where loose connections cause false trips.
- Drop-in replacement: Direct OEM-equivalent replacement for installed 3300 Series systems, minimizing re-commissioning time during planned maintenance outages.
- Long service life: Jacket and insulation materials rated for continuous high-temperature exposure, reducing cable replacement frequency in hot-section installations.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 16710-32 be used with 3300 XL probes and proximitors?
A: Yes. The 16710-32 is compatible with the full 3300 Series family, including 3300 XL 8mm and 5mm probe systems, provided the connector type matches your installed proximitor.
Q: What is the maximum total cable length for a 3300 Series system?
A: Bently Nevada specifies a maximum combined probe + extension cable length (typically 9 m or 18 m depending on the proximitor model). Verify your proximitor’s datasheet before combining multiple extension cables.
Q: Can this cable be installed in a hazardous area (Zone 1 / Division 1)?
A: The cable itself is passive; hazardous area compliance depends on the complete system including certified barriers or Zener diode isolators. Consult your site’s area classification documentation.
Q: Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct-burial installation?
A: The standard 16710-32 is designed for conduit-routed or tray-routed indoor/outdoor installations. It is not rated for direct burial. Use appropriate conduit or cable tray protection.
Q: Do you supply calibration certificates with this cable?
A: Interconnect cables do not require individual calibration. System calibration is performed at the proximitor level. CoC documentation is available on request.
Q: Can Konmask.com supply the complete 3300 Series system?
A: Yes. We can source probes, extension cables, proximitors, and 3500 Series rack monitors. Contact support@konmask.com with your BOM for a consolidated quotation.
