0456528886 - ESAB 10M Water-Cooled Interconnection Cable 500A (12-Pin)

Technical Overview of the ESAB 0456528886 Connection Kit

The ESAB 0456528886 Connection Kit is a high-performance interconnection assembly designed to link ESAB welding power sources to remote wire feeders. This specific model is configured as a 10-meter (33-foot) water-cooled system, designated by the code 10MW500A. It is engineered to handle welding currents up to 500 Amps, making it suitable for heavy industrial fabrication where high duty cycles and high heat inputs are common. The assembly integrates multiple essential lines into a single, durable bundle, ensuring a tidy and safe workspace.

Technically, the kit comprises a heavy-gauge copper welding power conductor, reinforced hoses for coolant supply and return, a shielding gas hose, and a multi-core control cable. The control cable is terminated with 12-pin (12-12P) connectors, which are standard for many ESAB digital and analog control systems, facilitating precise communication between the power source and the wire feed unit. This ensures that voltage, wire feed speed, and other synergistic parameters are accurately synchronized.

The outer sheath is constructed from a robust, abrasion-resistant material designed to withstand the harsh environments typical of shipyards, structural steel workshops, and manufacturing plants. It resists damage from dragging over concrete floors, exposure to oil and grease, and incidental contact with hot sparks. The water-cooling lines are pressure-tested to ensure leak-free operation, critical for protecting the welding torch and maintaining consistent conductivity in the power cable. This OEM part ensures full compliance with ESAB's electrical and mechanical specifications.
