Description
Option 080 (8.0 meters length) and Option 01 (stainless steel armor with FEP outer jacket) specify this 3300 XL 11 mm extension cable configuration — 330730-080-01-00. This armored cabling configuration provides extensive mechanical protection against physical crushing, abrasion, and fluid ingress in high-exposure areas. By selecting Option 00, this unit is supplied as a standard non-certified configuration, intended for general-purpose applications where hazardous area certifications are not required.
The cable serves as the critical transmission path within a 3300 XL 11 mm proximity transducer system, carrying high-frequency eddy-current signals between a 1.0-meter proximity probe and a 330780 Proximitor sensor. Utilizing low-loss 75-ohm triaxial technology and gold-plated ClickLoc coaxial connectors, this 8.0-meter cable maintains high signal integrity and impedance matching across the complete 9.0-meter loop. Its physical construction makes it highly resistant to corrosive environments, moisture, and chemical exposure commonly found in turbine housings and compressor casings.
Features
-
Cable Length: 8.0 meters (26.2 feet) of durable triaxial cable, perfectly matched to construct a 9.0-meter system length when paired with a 1.0-meter probe.
-
SST Armor Protection: Features flexible AISI 302 stainless steel armor with an outer FEP jacket to withstand heavy mechanical stress, cutting, and crushing forces.
-
Triaxial Construction: 75-ohm triaxial cable core insulated with fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) to minimize capacitance and signal attenuation.
-
Robust Connectivity: Equipped with premium gold-plated brass ClickLoc coaxial connectors for a tight, corrosion-resistant, and chemically protected union.
-
Standard Configuration: Provided under Option 00 (no agency approvals required) for lower cost and simpler implementation in non-hazardous industrial areas.
Applications
- Turbine shaft radial vibration and axial thrust position measurement
- High-speed turbo-compressor rotor position monitoring
- Industrial boiler feed pump and fan bearing housing protection
- Critical rotating machinery telemetry loops on 11 mm probe platforms
- Environments requiring protective armor casing against falling debris, scraping, and hot lubricants

Installation Guidelines
- Verify that the extension cable length (8.0 meters) combined with the probe length (1.0 meter) matches the Proximitor sensor's total system length (9.0 meters) to ensure accurate calibration.
- Ensure that routing curves do not exceed the minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 in) to prevent damage to the FEP insulation or internal coaxial shield.
- Join the ClickLoc connectors firmly by hand; do not exceed the recommended maximum torque rating of 0.565 N-m (5 in-lb).
- Ensure all connector connections inside the machine case are protected. Do not use silicone self-fusing tape in direct contact with turbine lubricating oil.
- Keep signal cable runs isolated from high-voltage AC cables in distinct conduit or cable trays to minimize electromagnetic interference.
