Extension Cable Acar 2x1.5 mm² 250V/16A 10 m orange

Acar 2x1.5 mm² 250V/16A 10 m orange extension cable is a 10-metre outdoor lead with two conductors of 1.5 mm² cross-section designed to deliver mains power up to 16 A at 250 V. The cable features a high-visibility orange outer sheath intended for garden and outdoor environments, allowing connection of power tools, garden equipment and small appliances within a 10 m range. The construction is suitable for temporary outdoor use where a flexible, visible extension is required and where a 1.5 mm² conductor is appropriate for the load.

Advantages

The orange sheath provides enhanced visibility to reduce trip and damage risks when used outdoors. The 1.5 mm² conductors and 16 A rating balance flexibility and current capacity for a range of common garden and DIY applications. At 10 metres length the cable extends reach without excessive voltage drop for typical 16 A loads and is compact enough for storage and handling. The design supports straightforward connection of power tools and appliances that are compatible with a two-core 1.5 mm² supply.

Suitable for

• Supplying power to electric lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other garden tools
• Connecting drills, sanders and portable power tools for outdoor or garage tasks
• Temporary power for outdoor events, lighting or appliances within 10 m
• General household extension needs where a 1.5 mm², 16 A lead is sufficient

How to use

Uncoil the extension cable fully before use to avoid heat build-up and reduce the risk of damage. Connect the cable to a properly rated mains socket and then attach the appliance or tool plug to the cable’s free end. Ensure the combined load connected does not exceed the 16 A rating. Keep the plug and socket connections dry and elevated from standing water; avoid running the cable through areas where it may be crushed or sharply bent. After use, disconnect from the supply, wipe clean if necessary, dry thoroughly and store coiled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Usage recommendations

For safety, use the cable only for temporary outdoor power needs and check that tools and appliances are compatible with a 1.5 mm², 16 A supply. Do not use the cable for permanent buried installations or as a substitute for fixed wiring. Inspect the sheath and plugs regularly for cuts, abrasion or damage and replace the cable if its insulation is compromised.
