Bently Nevada 16925-10 Non-Armored Cable 16925 Series Complete Guide

Bently Nevada 16925-10 is a precision-engineered, non-armored interconnect cable designed for reliable signal transmission in industrial vibration monitoring systems. As part of the 16925 Series, this 10-foot (3.05-meter) cable provides the critical electrical connection between accelerometers, proximity probes, and monitoring systems such as the 3300 XL, 3500, and 2201 series .

This cable is specifically engineered for applications where flexibility and ease of routing are prioritized over extreme mechanical protection. Its non-armored construction allows for tighter bend radii and simpler installation through conduits and cable trays, making it an ideal choice for control cabinet installations and protected industrial environments .

Key Features & Benefits

1. Optimized Signal Integrity

The 16925-10 features 22 AWG tinned copper conductors with robust braid shielding, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) . This shielding is critical for maintaining the accuracy of low-voltage vibration signals in industrial environments with significant electrical noise.

2. Flexible Non-Armored Design

Unlike armored alternatives such as the 16710 Series, the non-armored construction of the 16925-10 offers superior flexibility . This design allows for:

Easier routing through conduit systems

Tighter bend radii for confined spaces

Reduced weight for simpler handling

Simplified installation in control cabinets and junction boxes

3. Standardized Termination

The cable features industry-standard terminations:

Sensor End: MIL-C-5015 style 3-socket plug for secure connection to Bently Nevada accelerometers 

Monitor End: Terminal ring lugs for reliable termination at monitoring systems 

4. Wide Temperature Range

With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) , this cable performs reliably in diverse industrial environments, from cold outdoor installations to warm machinery compartments .

5. System Compatibility

The 16925-10 is designed for seamless integration with Bently Nevada monitoring systems, including:

3300 XL Series monitoring systems

3500 Series monitoring systems

2201 Monitoring System

330400 and 330425 Accelerometers
