0002264788 - ESAB M12 Female 5-Pin Control Cable - 2 Meter Length

Precision Connectivity for Industrial Automation

The ESAB 0002264788 is a specialized control cable designed to facilitate reliable communication within complex industrial welding and automation systems. Engineered with a standard M12 female connector, this cable serves as a critical link for sensors, actuators, and fieldbus modules. The M12 standard is ubiquitous in industrial automation due to its compact footprint and robust environmental protection, making this cable an essential component for maintaining the operational integrity of ESAB automated welding cells and machinery.

Featuring a 5-pin configuration, this cable is capable of handling multiple signal paths or a combination of power and signal transmission, depending on the specific pinout assignment of the connected device. This versatility allows it to be used in a variety of applications, from proximity sensors to complex control interfaces. The 2-meter length offers a strategic balance, providing sufficient slack for routing through cable trays and robotic arms without introducing excessive length that could contribute to signal attenuation or cable management issues.

Robust Construction for Harsh Environments

Industrial environments, particularly those involving welding, present unique challenges for cabling. Exposure to dust, metallic particulates, and potential mechanical stress requires a cable jacket that is both durable and flexible. The ESAB 0002264788 is manufactured to meet these rigorous demands, ensuring that signal integrity is maintained even in the presence of electrical noise and physical vibration. The threaded coupling mechanism of the M12 connector further enhances reliability by preventing accidental disconnection caused by machine movement or vibration.

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, utilizing genuine OEM parts like this ESAB cable is crucial for ensuring system compatibility. Generic cables may lack the specific shielding or pin assignment standards required by ESAB equipment, potentially leading to intermittent faults or communication errors. This cable provides a direct, drop-in replacement solution that adheres to the original engineering specifications of the equipment.
