Bently Nevada CB2W100-32 Interconnect Cable

Product Overview

The CB2W100-32 interconnect cable from Bently Nevada is designed for industrial vibration monitoring and machinery protection systems operating in demanding process environments. This cable assembly uses MIL-C 5015 splash-proof connectors with a 2-socket configuration and supports reliable signal transmission between proximity probes, monitoring modules, and field instrumentation installed on turbines, compressors, pumps, and large rotating machinery.

The cable features 20 AWG twisted pair conductors with shielding and a yellow Teflon jacket engineered for high-temperature industrial applications where oil exposure, vibration, and electromagnetic interference are common. Bently Nevada includes the locking ring, adapter seal, and O-ring to improve environmental sealing and connector stability during long-term field operation. The 32 ft cable length supports flexible routing inside turbine enclosures, compressor skids, motor control areas, and refinery monitoring cabinets while maintaining stable signal integrity across critical machinery protection circuits.

Suffix Breakdown

Cable Construction and Connector Design

The CB2W100 series uses twisted pair shielded conductors to reduce electrical noise interference in high-electromagnetic industrial environments. The yellow Teflon cable jacket provides improved resistance against heat, oil contamination, abrasion, and chemical exposure commonly found near rotating equipment installations.

The cable assembly includes MIL-C 5015 2-socket connectors with splash-proof construction for industrial field reliability. The isolated blunt-cut termination configuration simplifies custom field integration into monitoring cabinets and junction assemblies. Included locking hardware improves connector retention under continuous machine vibration conditions.

This cable is commonly deployed within Bently Nevada machinery protection systems used in refinery process trains, power generation equipment, LNG facilities, and offshore rotating machinery installations.

Installation Guidelines and Engineering Recommendations

Route the cable separately from high-voltage motor power wiring and VFD output cables to minimize electrical noise interference within machinery protection circuits.

During installation, avoid excessive cable bending near connector termination points. Tight bending radius conditions may reduce long-term conductor reliability in continuous vibration environments.

Inspect locking ring engagement and sealing components before startup in outdoor or washdown process areas. Improper connector sealing may allow moisture intrusion into monitoring circuits.

For turbine and compressor installations, secure the cable using vibration-resistant clamps to prevent connector loosening during long-term machine operation.
