K2483-2 - Lincoln Electric 2/0 Welding Cable Assembly, 10ft, Tweco Male to Open End

Industrial-Grade Power Transmission

The Lincoln Electric K2483-2 Weld Cable is a premium power transmission solution designed for professional welding environments requiring reliability and durability. Engineered with high-quality 2/0 AWG stranded copper, this cable assembly ensures optimal conductivity and minimal resistance, which is critical for maintaining stable arc characteristics during high-amperage operations. The cable is rated for a substantial 350 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, making it robust enough to handle the rigorous demands of structural fabrication, heavy equipment repair, and industrial manufacturing without overheating or degrading over time.

Versatile Connectivity and Configuration

This assembly is pre-terminated on one end with a Tweco-style (LC40) male connector, a standard in the industry known for its secure, twist-lock positive connection that prevents accidental disconnections and arcing at the terminal. The opposing end is left "open," or bare, providing significant versatility for the end-user. This open-end configuration allows maintenance personnel and welders to customize the termination based on specific requirements—whether that involves crimping on a lug for a ground clamp, installing a heavy-duty electrode holder, or hard-wiring into a distribution block. This flexibility reduces inventory complexity by serving multiple potential roles within a welding setup.

Rugged Construction for Harsh Environments

Lincoln Electric has constructed the K2483-2 with a tough, industrial-grade jacket designed to withstand the harsh realities of the shop floor and field sites. The insulation material offers superior resistance to abrasion, cuts, and tears, protecting the internal copper stranding from physical damage. Additionally, the jacket is formulated to resist degradation from exposure to oil, grease, and common shop chemicals, as well as incidental contact with hot sparks and spatter. Despite its rugged protection, the cable maintains excellent flexibility, which is essential for reducing drag and operator fatigue when used as part of a stinger assembly or when routing cables around complex workpieces.
