Product Overview: Bently Nevada CB2W100-112

The CB2W100-112 connects accelerometers to monitoring systems over long distances. This cable includes a locking ring, adapter seal, and O-ring. The CB2W100-112 has a splash proof connector for wet environments. Its premium construction ensures reliable signal transmission. The cable is made in the U.S.A. with high quality materials.

Technical Specifications

The CB2W100-112 uses a MIL-C 5015 military specification connector. This connector has 2 socket contacts for signal transmission. The connector body is splash proof for moisture protection. A locking ring secures the connection against vibration.

• Connector Type: MIL-C 5015, 2 socket

• Connector Feature: Splash proof, premium grade

• Termination: Isolated to blunt cut

• Locking Ring: Included

• Adapter Seal: Included

• O-Ring: Included

The CB2W100-112 cable uses 20 AWG conductor size. The conductors are arranged as a twisted pair for noise rejection. An overall shield surrounds the twisted pair. The jacket material is yellow Teflon® for durability. Teflon provides excellent resistance to chemicals and high temperatures.

Physical Characteristics

The CB2W100-112 has a total length of 112 feet (34.1 meters). This extended length suits large machinery installations. The cable connects remote sensors to centralized monitoring panels. Its yellow color provides high visibility in industrial environments.

• Total Length: 112 ft (34.1 m)

• Conductor Size: 20 AWG

• Conductor Type: Twisted pair

• Shielding: Overall foil or braid shield

• Jacket Material: Teflon® (yellow)

• Connector Color: Standard military green

The CB2W100-112 includes all necessary hardware for installation. The locking ring tightens securely onto the mating connector. The adapter seal prevents moisture ingress at the connection point. The O-ring creates a watertight seal against the sensor body.

Cable Construction

The CB2W100-112 uses premium materials for long cable runs. Each conductor is 20 AWG stranded copper for flexibility. The twisted pair construction cancels electromagnetic interference. The shield protects against external noise sources.

• Conductor Material: Stranded copper

• Insulation: Color-coded for polarity identification

• Twist Rate: Optimized for low capacitance

• Shield Coverage: 90 percent minimum

• Drain Wire: Included for easy grounding

• Jacket Thickness: Standard for industrial use

The CB2W100-112 maintains signal integrity over long distances. However, lengths over 100 feet have frequency limitations. Higher frequency signals will experience some amplitude attenuation. This is normal for long cable runs with accelerometers.

Compatibility Information

The CB2W100-112 works with most Bently Nevada accelerometers. It is NOT recommended for use with the 200350 Accelerometer. The O-ring will not form a proper seal with that model. This creates a moisture ingress risk at the connection point.

Compatible Sensors (Typical):

• Most Bently Nevada standard accelerometers

• AM3100T2-Z2 (with attenuation considerations)

• Other MIL-C 5015 compatible sensors

• Premium series accelerometers

Incompatible Sensors:

• 200350 Accelerometer: O-ring seal will fail

• Sensors with non-standard connector interfaces

For the CB2W100-112, verify your sensor connector type first. The MIL-C 5015 connector is common but not universal. Check your sensor documentation before ordering this cable.

Signal Attenuation Considerations

The CB2W100-112 has specific performance limits at long lengths. Cable runs exceeding 30 meters (100 feet) will show attenuation. This affects amplitude accuracy at higher frequencies. The AM3100T2-Z2 accelerometer is particularly sensitive to this effect.

Attenuation Guidelines for the CB2W100-112:

• Lengths under 30m: No significant attenuation

• Lengths 30-34m: Some high frequency attenuation

• Above 34m: Not recommended for high frequency

• AM3100T2-Z2: Expect measurable attenuation at full length

For critical high frequency measurements, use a shorter cable. Consider relocating the monitor closer to the sensor. Alternatively, use a signal conditioner before the long cable run.

Environmental Specifications

The CB2W100-112 withstands harsh industrial environments. The Teflon jacket resists oils, solvents, and acids. The splash proof connector handles moisture and light washdowns. The cable operates in a wide temperature range.

• Jacket Chemical Resistance: Excellent (Teflon)

• Connector Rating: Splash proof (not submersible)

• Temperature Range: -40°C to +105°C typical

• UV Resistance: Good for indoor and outdoor use

• Abrasion Resistance: High due to Teflon jacket

The CB2W100-112 is not rated for continuous underwater use. The splash proof connector protects against drips and splashes. It is not submersible like an IP68 connector. Use additional protection in wet environments.

Installation Guidelines

Install the CB2W100-112 with care to avoid cable damage. Route the cable away from high voltage power lines. Secure the cable every 2-3 meters with proper supports. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of 10x cable diameter.

Key Installation Points for the CB2W100-112:

• Connector Mating: Tighten locking ring firmly by hand

• O-Ring Check: Verify O-ring is present and undamaged

• Cable Support: Use insulated cable clamps

• Bend Radius: Minimum 10x cable outer diameter

• Shield Grounding: Ground at one end only

The CB2W100-112 terminates in a blunt cut on the monitor end. This allows custom termination to your specific monitor. Strip back the outer jacket carefully without damaging the shield. Follow your monitor's wiring diagram for proper connection.

Termination Instructions

The CB2W100-112 has an isolated blunt cut on the equipment end. This means the shield is not connected to the connector shell. Users must terminate the blunt cut end into a junction box or monitor.

Blunt Cut Wire Colors (Typical):

• Red: Signal (+)

• Black: Signal (-) or common

• Bare/Drain: Shield ground

• Yellow: Not connected (pull wire)

Confirm wire functions with a continuity tester before termination. The CB2W100-112 may have different color codes. Always verify with your specific cable marking.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CB2W100-112 be cut to a shorter length?
A: Yes, the CB2W100-112 can be cut to any shorter length. You must re-terminate the blunt cut end properly after cutting.

Q: Why is the CB2W100-112 not recommended for the 200350 accelerometer?
A: The CB2W100-112 O-ring will not seal correctly with the 200350 model. This creates a moisture entry path at the connection point.

Q: What is the maximum frequency for full amplitude with the CB2W100-112?
A: The CB2W100-112 maintains full amplitude up to certain frequencies. At 112 feet, higher frequencies will show some attenuation. For exact limits, consult your accelerometer datasheet.

Q: Is the CB2W100-112 suitable for outdoor installation?
A: Yes, the CB2W100-112 has a UV-resistant Teflon jacket. The splash proof connector handles rain and moisture when properly mated.

Q: Does the CB2W100-112 include the mating connector for the monitor end?
A: No, the CB2W100-112 has a blunt cut on the monitor end. You must terminate this end directly into your monitoring system or junction box.
