Extension cable AS Schwabe 60354, 16 A, 20 m, outdoor-rated power lead

Extension cable AS Schwabe 60354 is a 20 m, 16 A outdoor-rated power lead designed to deliver mains electricity to appliances and power tools at a distance. The long, single-core cable and robust connectors allow flexible placement of equipment in homes, workshops, garages and gardens while maintaining a continuous supply within the cable's current rating. The product is intended for general-purpose use where a reliable temporary or semi-permanent connection to the mains is required.

Advantages

The extension cable provides a 20-metre reach that reduces the need for multiple adapters or relocating equipment. Its 16 A rating supports a wide range of domestic and light professional appliances. The outer sheath is suitable for outdoor use and provides mechanical protection against light wear and weather exposure. Standard mains connectors ensure compatibility with commonly available sockets and devices, while the single continuous cable design minimises connection points and potential contact losses.

Suitable for

• Powering electric lawn mowers and garden tools at a distance
• Supplying power to workshop tools and portable power equipment
• Temporary outdoor power for events, lighting and decorations
• Household appliances requiring extended reach from fixed sockets

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Rated current: 16 A
• Suitable for outdoor use: yes (weather-resistant outer sheath)
• Connector type: standard mains plug and socket (mating with standard domestic sockets)
• Intended use: general-purpose power extension for appliances and tools

How to use

Uncoil the 20 m cable fully before use to avoid heat buildup and ensure safe current flow. Connect the plug end to a properly installed, fused mains socket and insert the appliance plug into the cable socket. Avoid running the cable across sharp edges or through doors; protect it from pinching and heavy foot traffic. For outdoor use, keep plug connections elevated and clear of pooling water. After use, disconnect from the mains, coil the cable loosely and store it in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Do not exceed the 16 A rated current; check appliance ratings before connecting multiple devices. For continuous high-load applications or when used in permanently exposed outdoor locations, consider using a cable with a higher temperature or IP rating. Inspect the cable and connectors regularly for damage; do not use if the outer sheath, plug or socket shows cracks, exposed conductors or other defects.
