Extension cable AS Schwabe 60336 — 20 m, 3×1.5 mm²

Extension cable AS Schwabe 60336 — 20 m, 3×1.5 mm² is a 20-metre mains extension lead with three conductors of 1.5 mm² cross-section. It is designed to extend electrical power from a fixed supply to appliances, power tools or temporary installations. The cable provides a straightforward plug-and-play solution for situations that require an earth-connected three-core connection over an extended distance and is suitable for indoor use and protected outdoor applications.

Advantages

The 20 m length offers increased reach without the need for multiple shorter leads. Three conductors of 1.5 mm² provide stable power delivery for many household appliances and portable tools while maintaining flexibility for handling and storage. The construction supports reliable earthing and reduces voltage drop compared with thinner conductors over the same distance. The product is ready to use with standard mains plugs and sockets, simplifying setup for temporary power extension needs.

Suitable for

• Extending mains power to household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, fans and lamps
• Powering portable tools and garden equipment for short periods (drills, sanders, hedge trimmers) in protected outdoor conditions
• Temporary power supply for events, workshops or maintenance tasks where a three-core connection is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 metres
• Conductors: 3 cores
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per core
• Intended use: mains power extension for indoor and protected outdoor applications
• Connection type: standard mains plug-and-socket system

How to use

Unroll the extension cable fully before use to avoid heat buildup and ensure optimal performance. Connect the plug to a compatible mains socket and plug the appliance or tool into the socket end of the extension lead. Ensure connections are dry and protected from direct exposure to rain or splashing water. Inspect the cable visually for damage before each use and do not use if the sheath or conductors are compromised. Store the cable coiled without tight kinks to prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid using high-power devices that exceed the recommended current for 1.5 mm² conductors over long periods; consult appliance ratings and consider a thicker cable for continuous heavy loads. Use the extension cable in dry conditions or under cover, and avoid permanent outdoor installation. Regularly inspect plugs and sockets for secure contacts and signs of wear.
