Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 200151-40-03-10 is a standard accelerometer interface cable. This cable features connectors on both ends for easy installation. The 200151-40-03-10 has a length of exactly 4.0 meters. It includes a blue cable with armor protection for added durability. The enhanced coupling nuts provide a better grip during tightening. This cable connects accelerometers to monitoring systems reliably.
Technical Specifications
The 200151-40-03-10 uses a robust 4-conductor construction. Each conductor is 22 AWG with a braided shield. The shield provides 85% minimum coverage for noise protection. A drain wire improves the grounding performance significantly. The outer jacket uses PVC material for flexibility. Nickel-plated coupling nuts resist corrosion in harsh environments.

Installation Guide
Installing the 200151-40-03-10 cable requires careful handling. First, check that your accelerometer has the matching connector type. Align the coupling nut carefully with the sensor thread. Hand-tighten the nut until you feel initial resistance. Then use the enhanced grip nut to tighten firmly. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of 63.5 mm during routing. Avoid flexing the cable at temperatures below -20°C. Allow 24 hours for the connector compound to cure after thermal exposure.

3-5 Common FAQs
1. Can the 200151-40-03-10 cable be cut to a shorter length?
No, cutting the 200151-40-03-10 cable will break the molded connectors. Order a different length code for your specific distance requirements.
2. Is the 200151-40-03-10 cable compatible with all Bently Nevada accelerometers?
Yes, the 200151-40-03-10 works with standard Bently Nevada accelerometers. The connectors use the industry-standard interface for seismic transducers.
3. What does the armor option 03 protect against?
Armor option 03 on the 200151-40-03-10 protects against crushing and abrasion. It also provides extra protection in high-vibration environments.
4. Can I use this cable in continuous flexing applications?
The 200151-40-03-10 is not designed for continuous flexing. Use it in static installations only for best reliability and cable life.
