The Bently Nevada 16925-60 is a standard, non-metallic shielded 3-core interconnect cable. It is specifically designed for industrial vibration monitoring and condition surveillance systems, primarily responsible for providing stable, low-noise, and high-integrity dynamic and static signal transmission between accelerometers (such as the Bently Nevada 330400 or 330425) and the 3500 monitoring module.

16925: Basic model, representing a 3-core shielded interconnect cable without metal armor.

-60: Length option, representing a total cable length of 60 feet (approximately 18.28 meters).

Q: What is the difference between 16925-60 and 16710-60?

A: Electrical performance is identical. 16925-60 is unarmored (flexible), whereas 16710-60 features a stainless steel armored jacket for superior mechanical protection against crushing, abrasions, or physical damage in areas without conduit piping.

Q: Can I field-cut this cable to a shorter length?

A: Not recommended. The cable comes factory-terminated and sealed. Cutting it makes it extremely difficult to reinstall the 3-socket molded sensor plug in the field, which risks moisture ingress and signal degradation. If you need a different length, Bently Nevada offers standard options like -15 (15 ft) or -32 (32 ft) .

Q: What is the maximum allowable cable length for this application?

A: The total cable length between the 330400/330425 accelerometer and the monitor should not exceed 305 meters (1,000 feet) to prevent high-frequency vibration signal attenuation. The 60 ft length is a standard, highly reliable choice.

Q: How should the cable shield be grounded to avoid interference?

A: The shield must be grounded at one end only (single-point grounding), typically at the monitor terminal strip or housing. The shield at the sensor end must remain isolated (floating). Double-ended grounding creates a ground loop, which introduces severe 50/60 Hz industrial noise into your vibration readings.
