0456500881 - ESAB A2/A6 Automation Control Cable - 25m Length

Keep Your Sub-Arc Tractor Moving

When you are running a sub-arc job on a 60-foot beam or a massive pressure vessel, the last thing you need is to run out of cable. The ESAB 0456500881 Control Cable gives you 25 meters (that's over 80 feet) of reach, allowing your A2 or A6 tractor to travel the distance while your power source stays put. This is the lifeline between your control box and the welding head, carrying all the signals that tell the machine how fast to travel and how much wire to feed.

We know that shop floors are tough on cables. Between being dragged over concrete, covered in abrasive flux, and exposed to hot sparks, standard cables just don't last. This genuine ESAB replacement is built with a tough, durable jacket designed to handle the abuse of heavy fabrication. The connectors are heavy-duty 12-pin plugs that lock in securely, so you don't have to worry about a loose connection stopping your weld in the middle of a pass. A solid connection means consistent weld parameters and fewer defects to grind out later.

This cable is plug-and-play for ESAB A2 Multitrac and A6 Mastertrac systems. If your old cable has intermittent shorts, broken pins, or a jacket that's been chewed up, swapping it out for this new 25-meter line will restore reliability to your rig. It connects directly from your process controller (like the PEK) to the head. The extra length is a game-changer for shops working on long longitudinal seams, eliminating the need to constantly reposition the heavy power source and wire drums. Get your automation setup running smoothly and keep your arc time up with this essential replacement cable.

Don't let a bad signal cable ruin a perfect sub-arc bead. Whether you are setting up a new gantry system or replacing a worn-out floor cable, this 12-pin to 12-pin control cable ensures your machine does exactly what you tell it to do, every single time.
