Frequently Asked Questions (QA)

1. Q: What is the length of the 330190‑085‑00‑05 cable?
   A: It is 8.5 meters (about 27.9 feet).

2. Q: What is the weight of the cable?
   A: Approximately 0.250 kg (250 grams).

3. Q: What temperatures can it operate under?
   A: From about ‑55 °C to +260 °C, making it suitable for extreme cold and high heat.

4. Q: Is this cable armored or standard?
   A: It is described as an armored extension cable.

5. Q: With what system is it compatible?
   A: It is designed for use with the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system and Proximitor sensors.

6. Q: Does it have regulatory / hazardous area approvals?
   A: Yes, “00‑05” indicates it does meet several approvals appropriate to the ETR extension cable role.

7. Q: What environmental hazards can it handle?
   A: It is built to withstand physical damage (due to armor), high/low temperature extremes, likely resistant to mechanical abrasion and perhaps mild chemicals when armor and insulation are intact.

8. Q: Why use armored cable instead of a standard, non‑armored version?
   A: Armor adds mechanical protection, helps avoid damage from movement, vibration, abrasion or external impact, improving cable lifespan in harsh settings.

9. Q: What is “ETR” in this model designation?
   A: ETR stands for Extended Temperature Range, meaning the cable is built with materials and construction that support much higher and lower temperature extremes than standard cables.

10. Q: If the cable is damaged, does it affect signal integrity?
    A: Yes — cable damage (armor breach, insulation damage) can lead to signal degradation, increased noise, or even failure. Proper selection, routing, and protection are important.
