Power extension cable AS Schwabe AS823663 30 m, 5G2.5 mm², polyurethane sheath

AS Schwabe AS823663 is a 30 m power extension cable with a 5G2.5 mm² conductor configuration and a polyurethane (PU) outer sheath. The cable is intended for distributing mains power to tools and equipment in environments that require flexible and robust cabling. With five conductors including protective earth and neutral, it supports grounded single-phase and three-phase supply arrangements where additional conductors are required for control or signaling circuits.

Advantages

The polyurethane sheath provides increased mechanical resistance against abrasion, oils and many chemicals while maintaining flexibility at a wide range of ambient temperatures. A 2.5 mm² conductor cross-section balances current-carrying capacity and flexibility for portable equipment. The 30 m length reduces the need for multiple joins and allows power distribution across medium-distance work areas. The multi-core configuration simplifies safe earthing and neutral connections for both single-phase and three-phase setups.

Suitable for

• Construction sites and temporary power distribution
• Workshops, industrial maintenance and portable machine tools
• Outdoor events and installations requiring durable, flexible cabling
• Environments where resistance to abrasion, oils and mechanical stress is important

Key specifications

• Cable length: 30 m
• Conductor configuration: 5 cores (5G)
• Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm² per core
• Outer sheath material: polyurethane (PU)
• Application: mains power distribution for portable equipment and tools

How to use

Unroll the cable fully before connecting to ensure heat dissipation and reduce voltage drop. Verify that the supply and the connected equipment are compatible with the conductor cross-section and the number of cores. Connect live, neutral and protective earth conductors according to local wiring regulations; use the remaining cores for three-phase circuits or control wiring as required. Avoid sharp bends and keep the cable clear of walkways or moving machinery where it could be damaged. Inspect connectors and the sheath before each use for cuts, crushing or other damage.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, match the cable length and cross-section to the expected load and limit continuous currents according to local electrical standards. Store the cable protected from prolonged UV exposure and chemicals not compatible with polyurethane. Replace the cable if the sheath is compromised or if internal conductors show signs of overheating or corrosion.
