Product Overview

The 16710-12 is a high-integrity shielded armored interconnect cable engineered for the Bently Nevada machinery protection and condition monitoring ecosystem. This 12-foot (3.6 m) cable provides the critical signal link between vibration transducers, proximity probes, and localized monitoring units. Built to withstand the rigorous demands of heavy industrial environments, the 16710-12 features a 3-conductor internal configuration protected by a robust stainless steel armor. This construction ensures maximum resistance to mechanical crushing, abrasion, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), preserving the precision of low-voltage analog signals essential for detecting shaft vibration and axial position in high-speed rotating assets.
