Power cable with CEE plugs 16A 250V 3x2.5 mm² Ratio 2823 IP56 5 m

Power cable with CEE plugs 16A 250V 3x2.5 mm² Ratio 2823 IP56 5 m is a flexible electrical lead designed for reliable power distribution where CEE connections are required. The cable features three 2.5 mm² conductors rated for 16 amps at 250 volts and is supplied with matching CEE male and female plugs. The IP56-rated housing protects connectors and contacts against dust ingress and water spray, making the cable suitable for indoor and outdoor temporary or semi-permanent installations up to 5 metres in length.

Advantages

The cable combines standardized CEE connectivity with a three-core 2.5 mm² conductor configuration to deliver consistent current for a range of devices. IP56 protection reduces the risk of damage from particulate contamination and water jets, improving reliability in harsher environments. A 5 m length provides a balance between reach and manageability, and the robust plug housings simplify repeated connections and disconnections while maintaining electrical safety.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution on construction sites and workshops
• Connecting power tools and portable equipment with CEE-compatible inlets
• Outdoor events, stages and temporary installations requiring weather-resistant connections
• Industrial or commercial environments where dust and water spray protection is needed

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 250 V
• Conductors: 3 cores, 2.5 mm² each
• Protection rating: IP56 (dust-protected, water spray resistant)
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: CEE male and female plugs

How to use

Verify that the supply and the connected equipment are compatible with a 16 A, 250 V supply and that the CEE inlet/outlet types match. Inspect the cable and connectors for visible damage before each use. Insert the CEE plugs fully and secure any locking mechanisms where present. Avoid placing the cable across sharp edges or exposing it to sustained mechanical stress. After use, disconnect power, unplug the connectors, and store the cable coiled in a dry location.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, do not exceed the rated current or use the cable with incompatible voltages. When used outdoors or in wet conditions, ensure plugs remain elevated from standing water and that IP56-rated connection points are properly mated. Periodically check insulation and connector condition and replace the cable if you find cuts, exposed conductors, or damaged plugs.
