Bently Nevada 16710-10 10ft Armored 3-Conductor Interconnect Cable

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 16710-10 is a precision-engineered armored interconnect cable designed for the high-fidelity transmission of vibration and proximity signals. Within the 3300 and 3500 Machinery Protection System architectures, this 10-foot (3.05m) cable serves as the critical link between field transducers and the monitoring rack. It is specifically designed to carry the -200 mV/µm sensitivity signals generated by Proximitor sensors, ensuring that data integrity is maintained over its full length.

Constructed for survivability in heavy industrial sectors, the 16710-10 features a flexible stainless steel armor sheath that provides a barrier against crushing, mechanical abrasion, and oil contamination. Internally, three 22 AWG stranded copper conductors are shielded by a dual-layer aluminum foil and tinned copper braid system, achieving over 85% coverage to effectively suppress EMI and RFI. This robust shielding is vital for maintaining the accuracy of dynamic vibration signatures and static shaft position measurements required for API 670 compliance.
