96170071 - Arcair 25ft Remote Control Extension Cable 96-170-071

Arcair 96-170-071 Remote Pendant Cable Assembly Overview

The Arcair 96-170-071 Remote Pendant Cable Assembly is a specialized industrial component designed to facilitate remote operation of Arcair gouging and welding systems. Measuring 25 feet in length, this cable assembly serves as the critical link between the operator's remote pendant and the main control unit or power source. As a genuine OEM part, it is engineered to meet the exact electrical and mechanical specifications required by Arcair equipment, ensuring reliable signal transmission without interference or voltage drop over the extended distance.

In industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO), the integrity of control cables is paramount. A compromised cable can lead to intermittent signal loss, erratic equipment behavior, or complete system failure. The 96-170-071 is constructed with a durable outer jacket designed to withstand the harsh conditions typical of metalworking environments, including exposure to sparks, dust, grease, and mechanical abrasion. The connectors are precision-molded to provide a secure fit, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection during operation. This assembly is specifically identified by the internal SKU AA96-170-071 and is an essential replacement item for maintaining the functionality of compatible Arcair automated systems.

Procurement specialists should note that this cable assembly is a direct replacement for damaged or worn-out existing cables. Its 25-foot length offers significant flexibility in shop layout, allowing the control unit to be positioned safely away from the immediate work area while giving the operator control at the point of application. When inventorying spare parts for Arcair systems, ensuring a backup remote pendant cable is available can drastically reduce downtime associated with cable failure.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

While specific machine compatibility should always be verified against the equipment's service manual, this cable typically interfaces with Arcair's range of automated gouging controllers and remote pendants. The assembly includes the necessary multi-pin connectors pre-installed, allowing for a plug-and-play installation process that requires no additional wiring or soldering. The robust strain relief features at both termination points protect the internal conductors from stress during bending and pulling, extending the service life of the assembly.
