0446310882 - ESAB 10m Air-Cooled Interconnection Cable 70mm²

Technical Overview of the ESAB Edge Interconnection Cable

The ESAB Edge Interconnection Cable (SKU: 0446310882) is a critical component for industrial welding setups requiring extended reach between the power source and the wire feeder. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication environments, this assembly features a substantial 70mm² cross-sectional area. This heavy-gauge copper conductor is essential for minimizing voltage drop across the 10-meter (approximately 33-foot) span, ensuring that the welding arc remains stable and responsive even at the maximum output of the machine. Inconsistent voltage delivery due to undersized cabling can lead to porosity, poor fusion, and erratic arc characteristics; the 70mm² specification addresses these concerns directly for high-amperage applications.

This specific model is designed for air-cooled systems. It integrates the primary welding power cable, the shielding gas supply hose, and the necessary control wiring into a single, cohesive unit. The consolidation of these lines into one assembly simplifies cable management, reduces tripping hazards, and protects the individual lines from snagging or severing. The outer sheathing is constructed from high-durability materials resistant to cuts, abrasion, oil, and sparks, which are common hazards in shipyards, structural steel shops, and manufacturing plants. The connectors are precision-engineered to mate perfectly with ESAB equipment, ensuring a secure electrical and pneumatic seal that prevents gas leaks and resistive heating at the terminals.

Procurement and maintenance teams should note that this interconnection package is a direct replacement or extension for compatible ESAB systems. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, reducing the frequency of replacement and minimizing downtime associated with cable failures. By maintaining the integrity of the gas flow and control signals alongside the welding current, this interconnection cable supports the overall reliability and efficiency of the welding cell.
