Brennenstuhl SC 5110 IP44 230V 50m is an extension reel designed to supply mains power over long distances while keeping cable management tidy. The unit includes a robust winding drum and a 50 metre H05VV-F type cable suitable for general-purpose use. With IP44 splash protection, it is intended for environments where occasional water splashes may occur, enabling use both indoors and in sheltered outdoor locations.
Advantages
The cable drum provides a compact way to store and deploy a long power lead, reducing trip hazards and cable damage. IP44-rated protection helps prevent ingress of water droplets and solid objects larger than 1 mm, making the reel appropriate for workshop, garden and construction site tasks where light moisture is present. The sturdy design ensures reliable winding and unwinding, and the integrated socket arrangement supports connecting tools and appliances directly to the reel.
Suitable for
- Powering electric tools at home workshops or small construction sites
- Supplying power to garden equipment in covered or sheltered outdoor areas
- Temporary power distribution for events, markets or renovation works
- Organising and extending mains connections for appliances at a distance
When it may not be suitable
This extension reel is not intended for permanent underground installation or continuous outdoor exposure in heavy rain. For locations with high water exposure, immersion risk or where IP65/IP67 protection is required, a higher-rated outdoor cable system should be used. The reel is designed for general-purpose 230 V loads; heavy industrial applications with unusually high current demands may require specialised cabling and protection.
Key specifications
- Nominal voltage: 230 V
- Cable length: 50 m
- Protection class: IP44 (splash protection)
- Cable type: flexible mains cable suitable for general indoor/outdoor use
- Design: winding drum for organised cable storage
How to use
Place the cable drum on a stable, dry surface before use. Unwind only the length of cable required to reduce heat buildup in the wound cable during prolonged high-load use. Connect the reel to a properly rated 230 V supply and plug tools or appliances into the sockets on the drum. Keep the drum away from direct exposure to heavy rain and avoid placing it where it may be submerged. After use, disconnect power, wind the cable neatly onto the drum and store the unit in a sheltered location.
What to consider before purchase
- Required cable length and whether 50 m meets your reach needs
- IP44 protection level versus the expected exposure to water or dust
- Maximum current capacity of connected devices and compatibility with 230 V mains
- Intended usage: temporary outdoor/sheltered use or permanent outdoor installation
Usage recommendations
For safe operation, unwind a portion of the cable during prolonged use, avoid exceeding the reel's rated load, and store the unit indoors or under cover when not in active use to preserve the IP44 protection and extend service life.
