Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 Interconnect Cable

The Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 is an extended-length interconnect cable for industrial monitoring systems. Manufactured in the U.S.A., this cable features MIL-C 5015 connectors with 2 socket contacts. Designed for splash-proof applications, the cable includes a locking ring, adapter seal, and O-ring in the assembly. With an impressive length of 250 feet (76.2 meters), this cable suits very large machinery installations where monitors are located far from measurement points.

Technical Specifications of the CB2W100-250

Connector Specifications

Turning first to the connector configuration, the Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 uses MIL-C 5015 standard connectors. These connectors feature 2 socket contacts for reliable signal transmission. The premium design includes splash-proof protection for demanding industrial environments. A locking ring, adapter seal, and O-ring are all included with the assembly.

Cable Construction

Regarding cable construction, the Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 uses 20 AWG conductors. The internal wiring features twisted pair configuration for excellent noise rejection. A braided shield provides additional electromagnetic interference protection. The outer jacket is made of yellow Teflon® material, offering outstanding chemical resistance and high temperature tolerance.

Length and Termination

This cable extends to 250 feet (76.2 meters) in total length. One end terminates with the MIL-C 5015 connectors as described. The opposite end is provided blunt cut for field termination. Consequently, this allows maximum flexibility when connecting to various monitoring instruments.

Important Compatibility Notes

200350 Accelerometer Restriction

The Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 is not recommended for use with the 200350 Accelerometer. Specifically, the O-ring will not form a proper seal with this accelerometer model. As a result, moisture ingress could occur at the connection point. For 200350 Accelerometer applications, please select an alternative cable.

High Frequency Attenuation for Long Cables

When using cable lengths greater than 30 meters (100 feet), some attenuation of amplitudes at higher frequencies may occur. This phenomenon applies specifically when using the AM3100T2-Z2 Accelerometer. Given that this cable is 250 feet (well beyond the 100-foot threshold), careful consideration of your frequency measurement requirements is essential. For critical high-frequency measurements, a shorter cable length may be more appropriate.

Installation Guidelines for the CB2W100-250

First, route the Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 away from high-voltage power cables to minimize noise pickup. Given its extended length, use proper cable management techniques to avoid sharp bends. Then, connect the MIL-C 5015 connector to the accelerometer, ensuring proper engagement. The locking ring should be hand-tightened securely. Next, terminate the blunt cut end according to your monitoring system requirements. For the yellow Teflon jacket, use appropriate stripping tools to avoid damaging the inner conductors. Finally, verify that the O-ring and adapter seal are properly seated before exposing the connection to wet environments.

Common FAQs for the CB2W100-250

1. Can the CB2W100-250 cable be used with the 200350 Accelerometer?
No, the Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 is not recommended for use with the 200350 Accelerometer. The O-ring will not form a proper seal with that specific accelerometer model.

2. What is the length of this interconnect cable?
The Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 has a substantial length of 250 feet (76.2 meters). For shorter lengths, other part number suffixes are available.

3. Will this cable experience signal attenuation at high frequencies?
For cable lengths greater than 30 meters (100 feet), some attenuation of amplitudes at higher frequencies may occur. Given that this cable is 250 feet, it exceeds that threshold significantly when using the AM3100T2-Z2 Accelerometer.

4. What type of connectors are used on this cable?
The Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 uses MIL-C 5015 standard connectors with 2 socket contacts. The design is splash-proof and premium quality.

5. What is the jacket material and color?
The jacket is made of yellow Teflon® material. Consequently, it offers excellent chemical resistance and high temperature tolerance for harsh industrial environments.

Why Choose the Bently Nevada CB2W100-250?

In summary, this extended-length interconnect cable provides reliable signal transmission for very large industrial monitoring installations. First, the MIL-C 5015 connectors with locking ring ensure secure, splash-proof connections even in demanding conditions. Second, the 20 AWG twisted pair construction with shielding delivers excellent noise rejection for clean signal integrity over long distances. Third, the yellow Teflon® jacket offers superior durability against chemicals, oils, and temperature extremes. Fourth, the 250-foot length accommodates the largest machinery installations where monitors are remotely located. However, please note the compatibility restrictions with the 200350 Accelerometer and the high-frequency attenuation consideration for long cable runs. Consequently, order the Bently Nevada CB2W100-250 today for your extended-distance interconnect cabling requirements.
