Product Overview for the 45358-07 Softline Extension Cable

The 45358-07 is a Softline Extension Cable from Bently Nevada. Firstly, this cable is specifically designed for accelerometer interface module connections. In addition, the 45358-07 measures 7 meters in length for flexible installation distances. Specifically, it features twisted shielded pair construction with low noise characteristics. Moreover, the entire cable assembly is protected by convoluted Teflon tubing. Therefore, the 45358-07 provides reliable signal transmission in demanding industrial environments.

Cable Construction and Materials

Twisted Shielded Pair Design
The 45358-07 uses twisted shielded pair construction for signal integrity. Firstly, this design minimizes electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment. In addition, the low noise construction ensures clean accelerometer signals reach the interface module. Specifically, the shielding protects against both radiated and conducted noise sources. Consequently, the 45358-07 delivers accurate vibration data even in electrically noisy environments.

Convoluted Teflon Protection
The 45358-07 features convoluted Teflon tubing as external protection. Firstly, this tubing provides excellent chemical resistance against oils and solvents. In addition, the convoluted design allows flexible routing around machine components. Specifically, the Teflon material withstands high temperatures without degradation. Moreover, the rear of both connectors is potted for additional environmental sealing. Consequently, the 45358-07 survives harsh industrial conditions that would damage standard cables.

Connector Specifications

Accelerometer Mating Connector
The 45358-07 includes a specific connector for accelerometer attachment. Firstly, this connector mates to an MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle. In addition, it features a Viton insert for superior chemical and temperature resistance. Specifically, the Viton material withstands exposure to oils, fuels, and harsh chemicals. Consequently, the 45358-07 maintains reliable connection integrity in demanding applications.

Interface Module Mating Connector
The 45358-07 has a dedicated connector for interface module connection. Firstly, this connector mates to an MS 3112-8-3P receptacle. In addition, it is designed for secure mating with Bently Nevada interface modules. Specifically, the connector body is robustly constructed for repeated connection cycles. Therefore, the 45358-07 provides reliable interconnection between accelerometer and monitoring system.

Temperature Ratings

Cable Temperature Range
The 45358-07 cable withstands extreme temperature conditions. Firstly, the minimum operating temperature is -65°F (-54°C) for cold environments. In addition, the maximum operating temperature reaches +400°F (+204°C) for high-heat areas. Specifically, this wide range suits both cryogenic and turbine-adjacent installations. Consequently, the 45358-07 performs reliably across diverse industrial applications.

Accelerometer Connector Temperature Range
The accelerometer mating connector has its own temperature limits. Firstly, the minimum rating is -65°F (-54°C) matching the cable specification. In addition, the maximum rating reaches +392°F (+200°C) for hot locations. Specifically, the Viton insert maintains sealing integrity across this entire range. Therefore, the 45358-07 connector withstands temperatures near the accelerometer itself.

Interface Module Connector Temperature Range
The interface module connector has slightly different temperature limits. Firstly, the minimum rating is -50°F (-45°C) for cold installation areas. In addition, the maximum rating is +200°F (+93°C) for warm control rooms. Specifically, this connector is designed for the typically milder environment of the interface module location. Consequently, the 45358-07 accommodates temperature gradients along its length.

Comparison with Hardline Cable Option

Bently Nevada offers both Softline and Hardline cable options. Firstly, Softline cable like the 45358-07 uses Teflon tubing with flexible construction. In contrast, Hardline cable uses mineral insulation with stainless steel overbraid. Specifically, Hardline cable operates up to +1200°F (+649°C) versus +400°F for Softline. However, Softline cable is more flexible and easier to route in tight spaces. Therefore, choose the 45358-07 for applications below +400°F where flexibility is important.

Installation Guide for the 45358-07

Follow these steps for a proper installation of the 45358-07.

Step 1: Cable Routing Planning
Firstly, plan the cable route from accelerometer to interface module. Avoid sharp bends that could damage the Teflon tubing. Then, identify potential heat sources near the cable path. Consequently, the 45358-07 will operate within its temperature limits.

Step 2: Accelerometer Connection
After that, connect the 45358-07 to your accelerometer's MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle. The Viton insert provides secure sealing against moisture. Then, hand-tighten the connector firmly without over-torquing.

Step 3: Interface Module Connection
Then, connect the other end of the 45358-07 to your interface module. The connector mates to an MS 3112-8-3P receptacle. Ensure the connector is fully seated and locked in place. Consequently, the signal path will be complete and secure.

Step 4: Cable Securing
Furthermore, secure the 45358-07 along its route using appropriate cable ties or clamps. Do not compress the convoluted Teflon tubing excessively. Leave slight slack for vibration absorption at both ends.

Step 5: System Verification
Finally, verify continuity through the 45358-07 using a multimeter. Then, check shield continuity to ground at the interface module end. Apply power to the accelerometer system and verify signal quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the 45358-07

Q1: What is the length of the 45358-07 extension cable?

The 45358-07 has a length of 7 meters. This provides ample reach between accelerometer and interface module in most industrial installations. Therefore, longer cable runs are possible without signal degradation.

Q2: What type of connectors does the 45358-07 use?

The 45358-07 uses two different connectors. Firstly, one end mates to an MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle for the accelerometer. In addition, the other end mates to an MS 3112-8-3P receptacle for the interface module. Both connectors feature potted rears for environmental sealing.

Q3: What is the maximum temperature rating for this cable?

The 45358-07 cable itself is rated from -65°F to +400°F (-54°C to +204°C). However, the accelerometer connector is rated to +392°F (+200°C). The interface module connector is rated only to +200°F (+93°C). Therefore, consider all three ratings when planning installation.

Q4: Is the 45358-07 a Softline or Hardline cable?

The 45358-07 is a Softline cable. It features convoluted Teflon tubing for flexibility and chemical resistance. In contrast, Hardline cables use mineral insulation with stainless steel overbraid for higher temperature applications up to +1200°F.

Q5: Does the 45358-07 include the accelerometer and interface module?

No, it does not. The 45358-07 is only the extension cable. You must purchase the accelerometer and interface module separately. Therefore, verify all required components before ordering your complete monitoring system.
