Bently Nevada 45358-09 Extension Cable
The Bently Nevada 45358-09 extension cable delivers a reliable connection between accelerometers and interface modules. This 9-meter Softline cable maintains signal integrity using a twisted shielded pair design that effectively rejects electrical noise. Its robust construction includes convoluted Teflon tubing and potted connectors for enhanced durability.
Key Technical Specifications
The 45358-09 cable comes with specific connector configurations for seamless integration. The accelerometer mating connector mates to a MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle and features a Viton insert for chemical resistance. Meanwhile, the interface module mating connector mates to a MS 3112-8-3P connector. Furthermore, the cable's low-noise construction makes it suitable for high-precision vibration monitoring applications.
Environmental and Mechanical Parameters
This Softline cable operates across a wide temperature range. Specifically, the cable itself withstands temperatures from -65°F to +400°F (-54°C to +204°C). Additionally, the accelerometer mating connector functions reliably between -65°F and +392°F (-54°C to +200°C). However, the interface module mating connector has a more limited range of -50°F to +200°F (-45°C to +93°C). Therefore, you should always verify that your interface module's operating environment falls within this connector's specified limits.
Understanding Softline vs. Hardline
For reference, Bently Nevada also offers a Hardline version of this cable type. The Hardline cable features mineral insulation and a stainless steel overbraid, enabling it to endure extreme temperatures up to +1200°F (+649°C). In contrast, the Bently Nevada 45358-09 Softline cable provides excellent flexibility and easier routing in moderate-temperature environments. Consequently, choosing between Softline and Hardline depends on your specific application's thermal requirements and installation constraints.
Installation Guidelines
First, ensure that both mating connectors are free from debris and corrosion before installation. Next, align the accelerometer connector (MS 3100R-10SL-4P) carefully and tighten it securely by hand, then apply an additional quarter-turn with a wrench. Similarly, connect the interface module end (MS 3112-8-3P) with the same method. Moreover, avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable during routing, as this could damage the twisted shielded pair inside. Finally, secure the cable with appropriate clamps or ties to prevent mechanical stress on the connectors during machine operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the Bently Nevada 45358-09 compatible with all Bently Nevada accelerometers?
A: Yes, this cable works with any accelerometer that features a MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle. However, we always recommend verifying your accelerometer's connector type before purchasing.
Q2: Can I use this Softline cable in high-vibration environments?
A: Absolutely. Its twisted shielded pair construction and potted rear connectors make the 45358-09 specifically designed for reliable performance in high-vibration industrial applications.
Q3: What is the difference between the 45358-09 and the Hardline version?
A: The Softline cable (45358-09) uses Teflon tubing and operates up to +204°C. The Hardline version, by contrast, uses stainless steel overbraid and mineral insulation for temperatures up to +649°C. Choose based on your maximum operating temperature.
Q4: Does this cable come with a warranty?
A: Yes, every Bently Nevada 45358-09 we supply is brand new, factory-sealed, and backed by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
Q5: How long is delivery and which carriers do you use?
A: We ship globally via FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Delivery typically takes 3-7 business days depending on your location. Express options are also available upon request.
