Neoprene extension cable 400V 16A, 25 metres (EN 60309, 3P+N+A)

The cable is intended for professional use, for example on a building site, in a workshop or for an on-site installation. Below you can read what to look out for when choosing a three-phase extension cable.

Why neoprene as the cable sheath?

Neoprene is a rubber-like material that stays flexible and is resistant to water, oil and wear. That is why it is often chosen for cables that lie outdoors or are frequently rolled up and dragged around. A cable with a neoprene sheath is generally sturdier than an ordinary PVC cord, which is useful on rough surfaces.

What do EN 60309 and 3P+N+A mean?

EN 60309 is the standard for industrial plugs and sockets, also known as CEE plugs. They are recognisable by their round shape and the colour code system for voltage and application. The designation 3P+N+A means that the connection has three phases, a neutral conductor and an earth contact. This is required for devices that run on 400V and also need a neutral wire.

Which 400V extension cable suits your machine?

First check the plug and the power of your device. A 16A cable is suitable for devices up to that current consumption, so keep the rating plate of your machine at hand. Do not choose a length longer than necessary. A long cable that stays coiled up can heat up, so fully unroll the cable during heavy use.
