The Power Cable bkl electronic H07BQ-F 2×1.5 mm² Orange 10 m is a flexible power lead designed for portable electrical equipment and temporary power supply applications. The cable features two 1.5 mm² conductors with combined PVC and rubber insulation, providing flexibility and protection against mechanical stress. Its bright orange jacket improves visibility on work sites and in outdoor environments, while the construction aims to resist oil and weather exposure for reliable short-term use.
Advantages
This cable combines flexibility with mechanical robustness: the 1.5 mm² conductors balance current carrying capability and pliability for hand-held devices and movable installations. The PVC/rubber insulation offers resistance to oil, abrasion and weather influences, allowing safer handling in varied conditions. The 10 m length provides extended reach without immediate need for additional connectors, and the orange sheath facilitates quick visual identification among cables.
Suitable for
- Temporary power supply on construction sites and renovation projects
- Portable electrical tools and hand-held equipment
- Outdoor events and installations where a visible, durable cable is required
- Short-term connections for mains-voltage appliances in indoor and sheltered outdoor use
When it may not be suitable
This cable is intended for portable and temporary installations rather than permanent fixed wiring. It is not designed for heavy industrial environments requiring thicker conductors or armored protection, nor for continuous exposure to extreme UV or chemical agents beyond standard oil resistance. For higher current demands or long-term buried installation, a cable with larger cross-section, additional shielding or specific certification should be selected.
Key specifications
- Conductor cross-section: 2 × 1.5 mm²
- Insulation: PVC and rubber combination
- Outer jacket colour: orange
- Cable length: 10 m
- Application: portable equipment, temporary power, outdoor/indoor sheltered use
- Resistance properties: oil-resistant and weather-resistant for temporary use
How to use
Uncoil the cable fully before energising to avoid overheating and mechanical stress. Connect the conductors to compatible plugs or appliance terminals following local wiring regulations and ensuring correct polarity and protective earth connection where required. Use the cable for temporary power runs and move it away from sharp edges, heat sources and heavy traffic to reduce wear. Store coiled in a dry place when not in use to preserve the insulation properties.
What to consider before purchase
- Required current and power: verify that 1.5 mm² conductors meet the device load and length-related voltage drop
- Installation type: suitable for temporary and portable use, not for permanent fixed wiring or burial
- Environmental exposure: designed for oil and weather resistance, but check for extreme UV or chemical conditions
- Connector compatibility: ensure correct plugs or terminals are available for your devices
Usage recommendations
For safe operation, avoid continuous heavy loads near the cable’s maximum capacity, protect the cable from sharp edges and heat sources, and inspect the sheath and conductors regularly for damage. Replace the cable if insulation is compromised or if any conductors are exposed.
