Technical Specifications of the CB2W100-200
Connector Specifications
Turning first to the connector configuration, the Bently Nevada CB2W100-200 uses MIL-C 5015 standard connectors. These connectors feature 2 socket contacts for signal transmission. The premium design includes splash-proof protection for demanding environments. A locking ring, adapter seal, and O-ring are all included with the assembly.
Cable Construction
Regarding cable construction, the Bently Nevada CB2W100-200 uses 20 AWG conductors. The internal wiring is twisted pair configuration for noise rejection. A braided shield provides additional electromagnetic interference protection. The outer jacket is made of yellow Teflon® material, offering excellent chemical and temperature resistance.
Length and Termination
The cable length is 200 feet (61.0 meters). One end terminates with the MIL-C 5015 connectors as described. The opposite end is provided blunt cut for field termination. Consequently, this allows flexibility in connecting to various monitoring instruments.
Important Compatibility Notes
200350 Accelerometer Restriction
The Bently Nevada CB2W100-200 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. Therefore, consider your frequency measurement requirements before selecting this 200 ft. cable. For critical high-frequency measurements, a shorter cable length may be more appropriate.
Installation Guidelines for the CB2W100-200
First, route the Bently Nevada CB2W100-200 away from high-voltage power cables to minimize noise pickup. 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.

The Bently Nevada CB2W100-200 has a length of 200 feet (61.0 meters). For shorter or longer lengths, other part number suffixes are available.
3. Does 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. This is specifically noted when using the AM3100T2-Z2 Accelerometer with the Bently Nevada CB2W100-200.
4. What type of connectors are used on this cable?
The Bently Nevada CB2W100-200 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.
Why Choose the Bently Nevada CB2W100-200?
In summary, this interconnect cable provides reliable signal transmission for industrial monitoring applications. First, the MIL-C 5015 connectors with locking ring ensure secure, splash-proof connections. Second, the 20 AWG twisted pair construction with shielding delivers excellent noise rejection for clean signals. Third, the yellow Teflon® jacket offers superior durability against chemicals and temperature extremes. Fourth, the 200 ft. length accommodates large machinery installations where monitors are located far from measurement points. However, please note the compatibility restrictions with the 200350 Accelerometer and the high-frequency attenuation consideration for long runs. Consequently, order the Bently Nevada CB2W100-200 today for your long-distance interconnect cabling requirements.
