The Bently Nevada 16925-15, also cataloged as the 16925 Interconnect Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for vibration signal transmission between accelerometer assemblies and monitoring systems within Bently Nevada mechanical monitoring platforms.

Model Configuration Overview

The 16925-15 is a 15 ft interconnect cable configuration designed for connection with Bently Nevada 330400 and 330425 accelerometer assemblies. The cable provides shielded signal transmission with a nominal impedance specification for vibration monitoring applications.

Hardware Specifications

Signal Integrity and Mechanical Monitoring Characteristics

The 16925-15 cable is designed for vibration measurement signal paths where accelerometer output must be transferred with controlled electrical characteristics. The shielded construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference during connection between sensing elements and monitoring electronics.

In Bently Nevada mechanical monitoring systems, correct cable selection maintains measurement chain consistency. Unlike eddy-current probe systems that require gap voltage validation and scaling adjustment, accelerometer signal chains depend on proper cable impedance, shielding continuity, and mechanical routing conditions.

For rotor dynamics analysis applications, cable installation practices affect vibration waveform quality. Excessive bending, mechanical stress, or improper shielding termination may introduce unwanted electrical noise into vibration channels.
