130118-0050-02 Bently Nevada Heavy-duty RS232 Serial Communication Cable
The Bently Nevada 130118-0050-02 is a heavy-duty, factory-terminated RS232 serial communication cable engineered to create a direct, uncompromised data link between a host configuration computer and the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System rack. It solves the critical plant-floor pain point of communication dropouts and data corruption caused by the intense electromagnetic interference (EMI) found around high-voltage machinery. Compared to standard commercial serial cables, this 50-foot heavy-duty assembly features specialized industrial-grade shielding and robust molded connectors, making it the definitive choice for field engineers who need to upload critical machinery trip configurations or pull real-time vibration diagnostics safely outside the machine's immediate hazard zone.
Technical Specifications & Buyer Value
| Feature | Detailed Parameter | Value & Practical Benefit |
|---|

| Shielding Integrity | Heavy-duty Industrial Shielding | EMI & RF Immunity: Fully isolates data lines from high-voltage motor crosstalk, eliminating data packet loss during critical plant operations. |
Automation Engineer's Note
"When routing the 130118-0050-02 communication link between your server terminal and the 3500 monitoring rack, avoid running this cable parallel to high-current AC motor leads or VFD output conduits. Even though Bently Nevada utilizes premium inner shielding, high-frequency industrial noise can induce transmission retries over a 50-foot RS232 span. If your diagnostic workstation loses connection during auto-baud negotiation, always check that the dynamic connector pins on the Rack Interface Module (RIM) face are free from chemical residue before swapping out the cable layout."
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this cable be extended further if our host computer is more than 50 feet away from the 3500 rack?
A: The 130118-0050-02 cable itself is fixed at 50 feet (15 meters). According to RS232 protocol specifications, the maximum reliable distance for unamplified serial communication is 30 meters (100 feet). Running extensions past this length increases signal attenuation. If your infrastructure requires longer distances, we advise using a certified Bently Nevada RS232-to-Ethernet converter or an RS422 protocol bridge to maintain data link security.
Q: Does this cable support third-party Modbus data collection from the 3500 Monitoring Rack?
A: This specific assembly is optimized to handle the connection between the host setup computer running Bently Nevada configuration software and the rack itself. For continuous external Modbus or industrial Ethernet data transmission to a distributed control system (DCS) or PLC, you should verify if your rack features a dedicated 3500/92 Communication Gateway module, which uses independent terminal blocks.
Q: How do we prevent connector damage during routine plant turnaround maintenance?
A: The molded RS232 connectors are built to withstand factory environments, but frequent blind insertion inside tight enclosure panels can bend the internal serial pin matrix. Always ensure the thumb-screws are fully disengaged before pulling the connector away, and use a dust cap over the serial head whenever the cable is left disconnected on the plant floor.
