The ESAB 0446160982 is a premium interconnection cable assembly designed to bridge the gap between heavy-industrial welding power sources and remote wire feed units. Engineered for high-performance environments, this assembly features a substantial 95mm² cross-sectional copper conductor. This large gauge is critical for minimizing voltage drop across the 10-meter span, ensuring that the welding arc remains stable and responsive even when operating at high amperages typical of heavy fabrication and structural steel work. The assembly is meticulously constructed to bundle the primary welding power cable, the multi-pin control cable for digital or analog communication, and the shielding gas delivery hose into a single, manageable unit.
Durability is a cornerstone of this component's design. The internal lines are encased in a rugged, industrial-grade protective sheath that offers superior resistance to abrasion, cuts, oil, and heat—hazards frequently encountered in shipyards, manufacturing plants, and construction sites. The integration of the control cable ensures reliable signal transmission for wire feed speed, voltage control, and trigger logic, preventing communication errors that could lead to weld defects. The 10-meter length significantly expands the working envelope of the welding cell, allowing operators to position the wire feeder closer to the workpiece while keeping the power source in a safe, stationary location. This specific model is identified by the reference SR, indicating a standard robust configuration suitable for air-cooled or gas-cooled setups where liquid cooling lines are not required or are managed separately.
Proper cable management is essential for safety and equipment longevity. By consolidating multiple lines into one, this ESAB interconnection set reduces trip hazards and simplifies shop floor organization. The connectors are factory-fitted to ensure perfect mating with compatible ESAB equipment, maintaining the integrity of the IP rating and electrical safety standards. For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), replacing damaged or undersized interconnection cables with this OEM specification ensures that the welding system operates within its designed electrical parameters.
