Extension Cord Acar 2×1.5 mm² 250V/16A 30 m orange garden extension lead

Acar 2×1.5 mm² garden extension cord, 30 m long, rated at 250 V and 16 A, is designed to extend mains power to outdoor equipment. The cord has two conductors with a 1.5 mm² cross-section each and an orange, highly visible outer sheath to help locate the cable in outdoor environments. It is suited for temporary connections of garden tools and appliances while respecting the rated voltage and current limits.

Advantages

The Acar extension lead provides a long reach of 30 metres while maintaining a compact 2×1.5 mm² conductor configuration suitable for many garden devices. The bright orange jacket increases visibility to reduce the risk of tripping or accidental damage. Rated for 250 V and 16 A, the cable supports a wide range of small to medium-power outdoor tools. Its construction is intended for outdoor use and temporary power distribution, offering a practical solution for powering lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, pumps and other appliances.

How to use

Before use, inspect the cord for cuts, abrasions or damage, and ensure connectors are dry and intact. Uncoil the full length to avoid local heating and do not run the cable through water or sharp edges. Connect the extension cord to a properly rated and protected power outlet; plug the appliance into the cord’s socket and verify that the combined current draw does not exceed 16 A. After use, disconnect from the mains, coil the cord loosely and store it in a dry, protected place.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, use the extension lead only for temporary outdoor connections and avoid permanent burial or prolonged exposure to sunlight and severe weather. If higher-current equipment or longer runs are required, choose a cable with larger conductors or a shorter run to reduce voltage drop. Regularly check the cable and connectors for wear and replace the lead if any damage is found.
