Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 83387-100 Hardline Cable is a premium industrial automation module designed for reliable signal transmission in extreme environments. This 100-inch cable connects accelerometer interface modules to sensors in high-temperature applications where standard cables fail. Protected by stainless steel overbraid and mineral insulation, the 83387-100 is built to withstand temperatures from -65°F to +1200°F (-54°C to +649°C), making it ideal for gas turbines, compressors, and other critical rotating machinery.
The Bently Nevada 83387-100 features a twisted shielded pair construction that minimizes noise interference, ensuring accurate vibration data. Its heavy-duty connectors include an MS 3100R-10SL-4P accelerometer receptacle with Viton insert and an MS 3106-10SL-4S disconnect interface, both rated for extreme thermal cycling. This combination provides a robust solution for continuous monitoring in harsh industrial settings.

Installation & Setup
Before installing the Bently Nevada 83387-100, confirm the accelerometer interface module has a compatible receptacle (MS 3100R-10SL-4P). Ensure the cable is routed away from sharp edges and excessive heat sources that exceed the rated temperatures. Secure the connectors with appropriate torque to avoid vibration loosening. The stainless steel overbraid provides physical protection but avoid bending the cable below a 3-inch radius to prevent internal damage. Route the cable in a manner that prevents moisture ingress at the connector interfaces.
Maintenance & Reliability
The Bently Nevada 83387-100 is designed for long service life in high-vibration and high-heat environments. Periodically inspect the cable for abrasion or corrosion of the outer braid. Check connector pins for oxidation and clean with a contact cleaner if needed. The mineral insulation resists degradation from thermal cycling, but extreme temperature fluctuations can stress connectors; thermal inspection during routine maintenance is recommended. Replacing the cable before visible damage appears prevents unexpected downtime in critical monitoring paths.
Selection Guide
When ordering the Bently Nevada 83387-100, verify the required cable length (100 inches) matches your installation. This cable is specific to accelerometer interfaces with MS-style receptacles. For longer runs or different connector styles, consider other part numbers in the Bently Nevada hardline cable family.
