The Delock Europlug CEE 7/16 extension cable (2 m) is compared against similar Europlug extension cables of different lengths from the same brand, as well as specialised power cords with IEC connectors from Delock and InLine. All these products serve to deliver electrical power to appliances and electronics, but they differ in plug types, length, and intended application, which dictates their suitability for specific devices.
⚙️ The specifications table below compares connector types, cable length, conductor cross-section, and construction to show the technical differences between standard Europlug extensions and specialised power cords.
| Parameter | Delock Europlug CEE 7/16 (2 m) | Delock Europlug (1 m) | Delock Europlug (3 m) | Delock CEE 7/7 — IEC C13 (2 m) | InLine CEE 7/16 — IEC C7 (5 m) | Practical significance |
|---|
| Connector type | Europlug CEE 7/16 male to female | Europlug CEE 7/16 male to female | Europlug CEE 7/16 male to female | Earthed CEE 7/7 (90°) to IEC C13 | Europlug CEE 7/16 to IEC C7 | Delock extensions retain standard Europlug compatibility for low-power items, whereas IEC cords connect directly to PCs, monitors, or audio-video power supplies. |
| Cable length | 2 meters | 1 meter | 3 meters | 2 meters | 5 meters | The 2-meter length of the Delock Europlug CEE 7/16 (2 m) provides a versatile balance for most rooms, offering sufficient reach without excessive cable slack. |
| Conductor cross-section | 2 x 0.75 mm² | 2 x 0.75 mm² | 2 x 0.75 mm² | 3 x 0.75 mm² (earthed) | H03VVH2-F (2.5 A) | The 2 x 0.75 mm² cross-section handles standard low-power consumer electronics reliably, while earthed versions support heavier IT equipment loads. |
◎ The table below evaluates usage scenarios and buyer needs to help determine which cable best matches specific equipment and setup environments.
| Usage scenario | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Extending a standard Europlug socket reach for lamps or chargers at medium distance | Delock Europlug CEE 7/16 (2 m) | The two-meter length is ideal for comfortably bridging the gap to a distant wall outlet without cluttering the space. |
| Powering a low-power device very close to the wall outlet | Delock Europlug (1 m) | A short cable keeps desks and TV units neat by eliminating excess wire loops. |
| Placing electronics further away from the power source | Delock Europlug (3 m) | The extended length offers maximum flexibility when arranging furniture and equipment in larger rooms. |
| Connecting a desktop computer, monitor, or IT hardware | Delock CEE 7/7 — IEC C13 (2 m) | Features an IEC C13 connector and earthing required for powering desktop computers and office displays. |
| Connecting audio gear or compact power bricks with a C7 inlet over a long distance | InLine CEE 7/16 — IEC C7 (5 m) | Provides figure-8 connector compatibility across an extended five-meter reach. |
The main advantage of the Delock Europlug CEE 7/16 (2 m) is its balanced two-meter length, which fits typical home and office extension needs without leaving unnecessary slack or falling short. This cable is most suitable for users looking to safely power standard consumer electronics and small appliances at a moderate distance from the socket. You should choose this model if you need a reliable standard Europlug extension without specialised computer connectors.
