0446255880 - ESAB Aristo 70mm² Water-Cooled Interconnection Cable - 6ft

Technical Overview of the ESAB Aristo Interconnection Cable

The ESAB Aristo RF CAN Intecon W SR (SKU: 0446255880) is a premium interconnection cable assembly designed to bridge the gap between high-performance ESAB Aristo power sources and their corresponding wire feeders. Engineered for industrial environments, this assembly integrates all necessary media—welding power, shielding gas, liquid coolant, and digital control signals—into a single, durable protective sheath. The core of this assembly is a 70mm² multi-strand copper conductor, which provides exceptional conductivity and minimal voltage drop, even during high-amperage pulse welding operations.

This specific model is designated "W" for water-cooled applications, featuring integrated coolant supply and return hoses essential for managing the thermal loads of high-duty cycle torches. The "CAN" designation indicates the inclusion of a shielded CAN-bus communication cable, facilitating real-time, high-speed data exchange between the power source and the digital wire feeder. This ensures precise control over wire feed speeds, voltage, and synergistic parameters. The "SR" specification points to the inclusion of heavy-duty Strain Relief mechanisms at both termination points, significantly enhancing the mechanical durability of the connections and preventing premature failure due to bending or tension.

With a length of 6 feet (approximately 1.8 meters), this interconnect is optimized for setups where the wire feeder is mounted directly on the power source, on a nearby pedestal, or a short boom arm. The 70mm² cross-section is suitable for heavy industrial fabrication, capable of sustaining high welding currents without overheating. The outer jacket is constructed from industrial-grade rubber or polymer, offering resistance to hot sparks, oils, and abrasion common in heavy manufacturing sectors.
