Bently Nevada 16710-06 16710 Series Armored Cable Complete Guide

Bently Nevada 16710-06 is a precision-engineered, 6-foot armored interconnect cable from the trusted 16710 Series. Designed specifically for industrial vibration monitoring applications, this cable provides a reliable, shielded connection between Bently Nevada accelerometers (such as the 330400 and 330425) and monitoring systems including the 3300 XL, 3500 Series, and 2201 monitoring systems.

With its stainless steel armor construction, the 16710-06 delivers maximum mechanical protection in harsh industrial environments. The 6-foot (1.8-meter) length is ideal for compact equipment layouts, control cabinet installations, and applications where the monitoring system is in close proximity to the sensor.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Robust Stainless Steel Armor

The defining feature of the 16710-06 is its stainless steel armor that wraps around the internal conductors . This armor provides:

Maximum Crush Protection: Withstands foot traffic, equipment impact, and heavy loads

Abrasion Resistance: Prevents damage from vibration-induced rubbing against machine surfaces

Sharp Edge Protection: Guards against cuts from metal edges and conduit fittings

Enhanced Durability: Extends cable life in high-traffic industrial environments

2. Superior Signal Integrity

The cable utilizes 3-conductor shielded construction with 22 AWG tinned copper conductors :

Shielding Type: Braid shield provides excellent EMI/RFI protection

Conductor Material: Tinned copper for corrosion resistance

3-Conductor Configuration: Supports power, signal, and common connections

3. Standardized Termination

The 16710-06 features consistent, reliable terminations:

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

Monitor End: Terminal ring lugs for reliable termination at monitoring systems, PLCs, or DCS terminals

4. Wide Operating Temperature Range

Designed for extreme industrial environments:

Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F)

Suitable for outdoor installations, cold climates, and high-temperature machinery areas

5. Complete System Compatibility

The 16710-06 is engineered for seamless integration with:

3300 XL Series monitoring systems

3500 Series monitoring systems (including 3500/42)

2201 Monitoring System

330400 and 330425 Accelerometers
