0349312452 - ESAB 10m CAN Bus Control Cable 10-Pin

Technical Overview of the ESAB 0349312452 Connection Set

The ESAB 0349312452 is a specialized Connection Set designed to facilitate robust digital communication between ESAB welding power sources and compatible peripheral equipment, such as wire feeders and remote control units. This assembly is engineered specifically for systems utilizing the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus protocol, a standard in modern industrial automation for high-speed, error-free data transmission.

With a total length of 10 meters (32.8 feet), this cable assembly offers significant flexibility in shop floor layout, allowing wire feeders to be positioned at a practical distance from the main power source without signal degradation. The cable is terminated with high-quality 10-pin connectors, ensuring a secure and correct interface with the machine's control ports. The pin configuration is mapped to carry necessary control signals, feedback loops, and potentially low-voltage power for auxiliary controls, depending on the specific machine architecture.

Constructed to meet ESAB's rigorous OEM standards, the cable features industrial-grade insulation and jacketing. This protective layer is resistant to common workshop hazards, including abrasion, oil, and incidental impact, ensuring longevity in harsh welding environments. The connectors are molded with strain relief to prevent wire fatigue at the termination points, a common failure mode in dynamic welding setups.

This component is critical for maintaining the integrity of the welding system's logic and control. A compromised control cable can lead to intermittent communication errors, feeder stuttering, or complete loss of remote functionality. Replacing damaged cables with this genuine ESAB part restores factory-level performance and reliability to the welding cell.
