OVERVIEW

1/0 Orange Welding Cable – Flexible & Visible

Every welder knows that fighting a stiff cable all day leads to wrist fatigue and sloppy welds. That's why this 1/0 AWG Orange Welding Cable is a favorite among professionals. Built with thousands of strands of fine copper, it offers a limp, noodle-like flexibility that makes maneuvering your stinger or ground clamp effortless. Whether you are welding overhead, in tight corners, or dragging leads across the shop, this cable moves with you, not against you.

The bright orange jacket isn't just for looks—it's a crucial safety feature. In a busy fabrication shop or on a chaotic job site, high-visibility cables help prevent other workers from tripping over your leads or running them over with forklifts. The EPDM rubber insulation is tough as nails, resisting sparks, slag, oil, and cuts, ensuring your leads last longer even in the roughest conditions. It stays flexible even in freezing temperatures, so you won't be wrestling with frozen coils on winter mornings.

We sell this cable by the foot, so you can order exactly what you need to build a custom whip, extend your current leads, or upgrade your ground cable. It handles high amperage loads with minimal voltage drop, ensuring your arc stays smooth and consistent. Beyond welding, it's also a top choice for upgrading battery cables on trucks or installing high-power inverters.

Why Choose This Cable?

  • Ultra-Flexible: Reduces wrist strain during long welding shifts.
  • Safety Orange: easy to spot on dirty floors or outdoor sites.
  • Weather Resistant: Won't crack in the cold or melt easily from incidental contact.
  • Custom Lengths: Buy only what you need for your specific setup.

FAQ

For welding applications (secondary voltage), 1/0 cable is typically rated for approximately 285-350 amps depending on the duty cycle and cable length. For continuous power transmission (like battery cables), the rating is lower, typically around 150-170 amps.

Yes, if you order multiple feet, it will typically be shipped as a single continuous length up to the maximum spool size (usually 250 or 500 feet).

The approximate outer diameter (OD) of standard 1/0 EPDM welding cable is 0.533 inches (approx 13.5mm).

This is premium welding cable made with stranded bare copper. It is not Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA).

Yes, 1/0 welding cable is excellent for automotive battery relocation due to its high strand count, which allows it to route easily through the chassis compared to stiff standard battery cable.

The EPDM jacket is UV resistant, but like all pigmented rubber, prolonged exposure to direct intense sunlight over years may cause slight fading, though the integrity of the insulation remains intact.

You will need lugs or connectors sized specifically for 1/0 AWG cable. Ensure the mounting hole size of the lug matches your equipment studs.

Yes, the EPDM jacket provides excellent resistance to oil, grease, and solvents common in industrial environments.
