Extension cable AS Schwabe 50201 — 16 A, 2 m

AS Schwabe 50201 — 16 A, 2 m is a compact extension cable designed to extend the reach of mains power for household and light professional electrical devices. The 2-metre lead provides a straightforward solution when a nearby socket is not available, maintaining a safe connection at the specified current rating. The product is intended for indoor use and offers a durable construction suitable for routine use in homes, workshops, and offices.

Advantages

The extension cable supports a 16 A rated current, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of domestic appliances and power tools within that limit. Its 2 m length balances flexibility and compactness, making it convenient to route in confined spaces without extra slack. The cable and connectors are built for repeated connection cycles and provide a consistent electrical contact. The simple design reduces installation complexity and allows immediate use without additional accessories.

Suitable for

• Extending power to household appliances (kettles, lamps, chargers) within 16 A limit
• Temporary power for light-duty power tools and workshop equipment
• Office equipment such as computers, monitors, and printers where a short extension is needed
• Indoor events or short-term setups requiring safe mains extension

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Cable length: 2 m
• Intended use: indoor mains extension
• Plug and socket configuration: standard mains connectors suitable for the region
• Construction: flexible insulated cable with durable connector housings

How to use

Connect the plug end of the extension cable to a properly grounded wall socket and insert the appliance plug into the socket end of the extension lead. Ensure that the total connected load does not exceed the 16 A rating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heat sources, and areas where it could be pinched or tripped over. Use the extension cable only in dry indoor environments and disconnect it by pulling the plug, not the cable, to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Verify the current draw of connected devices before use and avoid daisy-chaining multiple extension leads. Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for damage; do not use if the insulation is cut or the connectors are loose. Store the cable coiled without tight knots and away from direct sunlight or excessive moisture.
