0349312450 - ESAB 1.7m 10-Pin CAN Connection Cable Assembly

Precision Digital Communication for Advanced Welding Systems

The ESAB 0349312450 Connection Set represents a critical component in the architecture of modern, digitally-controlled welding environments. Designed to facilitate robust communication between power sources and wire feeders or remote control units, this 5.6-foot (1.7-meter) cable assembly is engineered to support CAN (Controller Area Network) bus protocols. In high-performance welding setups, such as those utilizing ESAB's Aristo or Origo series, the integrity of the control signal is just as vital as the welding current itself. This cable ensures that complex data packets—governing parameters like pulse frequency, wire feed speed, and voltage trim—are transmitted with zero latency and absolute accuracy.

Constructed with industrial-grade materials, the cable features a durable outer jacket capable of withstanding the harsh realities of a metal fabrication shop. It resists exposure to welding spatter, oils, grease, and mechanical abrasion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding heavy-industry applications. The internal conductors are shielded to provide high immunity against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), which are common in environments with high-frequency arc starts and heavy electrical loads. This shielding preserves the purity of the digital signal, preventing communication errors that could lead to arc instability or machine fault codes.

The assembly is terminated with high-quality 10-pin connectors, typically of the Amphenol style, known for their secure locking mechanisms and resistance to vibration. These connectors ensure a positive mating connection that will not loosen during operation. The 1.7-meter length is specifically optimized for "short" setups, where the wire feeder is mounted directly on top of the power source or on a swivel pin, eliminating excess cable clutter while providing enough slack for necessary movement and maintenance access. For facility managers and welding engineers, investing in genuine ESAB interconnection cables is a proactive step towards maintaining system reliability and uptime.
