Bently Nevada CB2W100-112 Interconnect Cable

Product Overview

The CB2W100-112 interconnect cable from Bently Nevada is designed for long-distance signal transmission within industrial machinery protection and vibration monitoring systems. This cable is commonly installed between proximity probes, monitoring modules, junction boxes, and condition monitoring equipment used on steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, generators, pumps, and large rotating machinery operating in refinery, petrochemical, mining, and power generation facilities.

The 112 ft cable length supports extended routing requirements inside large process plants where monitoring cabinets are positioned far from rotating assets. Bently Nevada designs the CB2W100 series for stable signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments exposed to vibration, oil contamination, heat, and continuous mechanical operation. The cable construction supports reliable communication between field transducers and monitoring systems, helping maintenance teams maintain accurate machinery condition data and reduce unplanned shutdown events caused by signal instability or wiring failures.

Suffix Breakdown

Cable Design and Application Details

The CB2W100 series is engineered for industrial machinery monitoring installations requiring stable low-noise signal transmission over extended cable distances. The cable supports integration with Bently Nevada vibration monitoring systems commonly installed on API rotating equipment.

Its industrial-grade construction helps resist environmental stress caused by continuous machine vibration, oil exposure, and elevated ambient temperatures commonly found in turbine halls and compressor stations. The long cable length allows flexible routing between field instrumentation and centralized monitoring cabinets without requiring additional intermediate connections.

The cable is widely used in condition monitoring applications where maintaining signal reliability remains critical for predictive maintenance and machinery protection performance.

Installation Guidelines and Field Recommendations

Route the cable separately from high-voltage motor conductors and VFD output wiring to minimize electromagnetic interference within machinery monitoring circuits.

Use vibration-resistant cable clamps when installing near turbines, compressors, or large motors. Unsupported cable sections may experience long-term mechanical fatigue under continuous vibration conditions.

Inspect cable routing paths for sharp metal edges and excessive heat exposure before commissioning. Continuous abrasion or thermal stress may reduce cable service life in industrial process environments.

For outdoor installations, use sealed conduit systems and industrial-grade cable protection methods to prevent moisture intrusion and environmental contamination.
