1-50 - #1 Gauge Welding Lead, 50ft Length, 350A Rated

Professional Grade #1 AWG Welding Cable

The CBL1-50 is a premium-quality welding cable designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. Engineered with a #1 American Wire Gauge (AWG) conductor, this cable is rated to handle a maximum amperage of 350A, making it suitable for a wide range of medium to heavy-duty welding processes, including Stick, MIG, and TIG applications. The core features high-strand-count copper, ensuring excellent conductivity and minimizing voltage drop over the 50-foot length, which is critical for maintaining arc stability and weld quality.

A key technical advantage of this cable is its robust Neoprene jacket. Unlike standard PVC insulation, Neoprene (polychloroprene) offers superior chemical and physical resilience. It is specifically formulated to resist degradation from exposure to oils, grease, acids, and solvents commonly found in machine shops and fabrication plants. Furthermore, the jacket provides exceptional abrasion resistance, protecting the internal conductors from damage caused by dragging across concrete floors, metal shavings, or rough terrain. This durability translates to a lower total cost of ownership by reducing the frequency of cable replacements.

Flexibility is paramount in manual welding operations to reduce operator fatigue. The CBL1-50 utilizes fine-stranded copper conductors that allow the cable to bend and twist easily without kinking or memory retention. This flexibility facilitates easier manipulation of the electrode holder or MIG gun, particularly in positional welding or confined spaces. The cable is pre-cut to a convenient 50-foot length, allowing for immediate integration into existing welding setups as either a work lead (ground) or an electrode cable (stinger). It is designed to operate effectively in a broad temperature range, maintaining flexibility in cold conditions and resisting deformation in high-heat environments.

Safety and compliance are integral to the design. The insulation thickness is calibrated to provide adequate dielectric strength for standard welding voltages while maintaining a manageable outer diameter. This cable is an essential component for professionals requiring reliable power transmission for their welding power sources.
