OVERVIEW

Precise Digital Communication for Welding Systems

The ESAB Control Cable 5M CAN/12P (SKU: 0456527890) is a specialized interconnection component designed to facilitate robust data transfer between welding power sources and wire feeders or remote control units. Engineered for modern digital welding environments, this cable utilizes the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus protocol, ensuring high-speed, error-free transmission of welding parameters, synergic lines, and system status signals. The 12-pin configuration provides a comprehensive interface for complex control requirements found in advanced industrial welding setups.

Constructed with industrial-grade materials, the cable features a rugged outer jacket capable of withstanding the rigors of heavy manufacturing environments. It is resistant to common workshop hazards such as abrasion, impact, and exposure to oils or coolants. Crucially, the internal conductors are shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which are prevalent in high-amperage welding zones. This shielding preserves signal integrity, preventing communication dropouts that could lead to arc instability or process errors.

With a length of 5 meters, this cable offers a practical balance between flexibility and signal retention, suitable for standard bench mounting or short-boom configurations. The connectors are designed for secure mating, featuring strain relief mechanisms that protect the termination points from mechanical stress during operation. This component is essential for maintaining the full functionality of ESAB's digital welding systems, ensuring that the power source and feeder operate in perfect synchronization.

FAQ

The cable is 5 meters (approximately 16.4 feet) long.

It utilizes 12-pin connectors designed for ESAB equipment.

Yes, it is designed for CAN bus communication protocols used in digital welding systems.

Yes, it features shielding to protect digital signals from electromagnetic interference common in welding environments.

This cable is specified for CAN/12P systems; check your equipment manual to ensure it requires a 12-pin digital connection rather than an analog 14-pin or 19-pin.

Yes, the cable is sheathed in industrial-grade material resistant to oil, grease, and abrasion.

This is typically a replacement interconnection cable. Extending cables requires specific couplers and consideration for voltage drop/signal loss.

Modern inverters talk to feeders using data, not just voltage. CAN bus allows them to sync pulse modes and settings instantly.
