0446156880 - ESAB 1.5m Control Cable Adapter 12-Pin to 14-Pin

Precise Control Signal Transmission

The ESAB 0446156880 Control Cable is a specialized interconnection component designed to bridge the gap between ESAB welding power sources and compatible wire feeders or remote control units. In the sophisticated environment of modern industrial welding, the integrity of the control signal is paramount. This cable ensures that voltage, wire feed speed, and trigger signals are transmitted accurately and without latency, allowing the welding system to perform at its peak potential. The 1.5-meter length is specifically optimized for setups where the wire feeder is mounted directly on top of the power source or on a nearby swivel arm, reducing cable clutter and minimizing the risk of snagging in tight workspaces.

Connector Configuration and Compatibility

One of the defining features of this assembly is its hybrid connector configuration. It terminates in a 12-pin CPC connector on one end and a 14-pin CPC connector on the other. This specific pinout arrangement is often required when integrating different series of ESAB equipment, acting effectively as an adapter cable that maintains full system functionality. The Circular Plastic Connectors (CPC) are industry-standard for durability, featuring threaded locking rings that prevent accidental disconnection even in high-vibration environments typical of heavy fabrication shops.

Industrial Durability

Constructed to withstand the rigors of the manufacturing floor, the cable features a robust outer jacket resistant to oil, grease, and abrasion. Internal conductors are insulated to prevent cross-talk and interference, ensuring that the delicate logic signals controlling the arc characteristics remain pure. Whether used for maintenance replacement or initial system setup, this genuine ESAB part guarantees that your welding parameters are communicated flawlessly from the source to the arc.
