Bently Nevada 200151-20-02-02 Accelerometer Standard Cable 2.0m

Product Introduction

When vibration monitoring systems in rotating machinery experience signal degradation due to cable wear or moisture ingress, the Bently Nevada 200151-20-02-02 Accelerometer Standard Cable provides a robust solution. This cable is part of the 200151 series, designed to interface accelerometers with monitoring equipment, ensuring reliable data transmission in demanding industrial settings.

Technical Specifications

The 200151-20-02-02 is a standard cable with connectors on both ends. Key specifications include a cable length of 2.0 meters, a blue cable without armor, and a nylon coupling nut. The cable construction features 4 conductors, 22 AWG, with a braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum), and a PVC outer jacket. The connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware, and are molded to the cable for added durability. The addition of DC4 electrical insulating compound in the connectors offers extra protection against moisture during thermal shock. The minimum bend radius is 63.5 mm (2.5 in). The operating temperature range is -20 °C to +100 °C (-4 °F to +212 °F), with a cure time of 24 hours for the insulating compound.

Industry Applications

This cable is ideal for use in turbine, compressor, and pump vibration monitoring systems where reliable signal integrity is critical. In oil and gas facilities, the IP67 seal protects against moisture and dust, ensuring consistent performance in harsh outdoor environments. The 2.0-meter length is suitable for short-distance connections between accelerometers and junction boxes or monitoring modules, reducing signal loss and installation complexity.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Install the 200151-20-02-02 by connecting the molded connectors to the accelerometer and mating hardware. Ensure the coupling nuts are hand-tightened to achieve the IP67 seal. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius of 63.5 mm to prevent internal damage. For installations below -20 °C, ensure the cable is not flexed or bent to avoid cracking the PVC jacket. Use the DC4 insulating compound as needed for additional moisture protection during thermal cycling.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regularly inspect the cable for cuts, abrasions, or signs of moisture ingress at the connector seals. The molded construction and IP67 rating reduce maintenance needs, but periodic visual checks are recommended in high-vibration or corrosive environments. The nylon coupling nuts resist corrosion, extending service life. For long-term reliability, avoid exposing the cable to temperatures outside the -20 °C to +100 °C range during operation.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify the required cable length and connector type for your accelerometer model. The 200151-20-02-02 is a standard cable with 2.0 m length, blue jacket without armor, and nylon coupling nuts. For armored or longer cable options, consult the 200151 series ordering guide. BluePLC Industrial offers this cable with fast shipping and technical support to ensure correct selection for your vibration monitoring system.
