Charging Cable Osram Ladekabel Type 2 16A 3-phase, 5 m, model OCC21P05

The Osram Ladekabel Type 2 16A 3-phase, 5 m (model OCC21P05) is a fixed-length electric vehicle charging cable designed for AC charging at public and private Type 2 sockets. With a five-metre length and a three-phase, 16 ampere rating, this cable supports everyday charging needs for compatible electric vehicles and is intended for users who prefer a portable lead rather than a permanently tethered charger at the charging point.

Advantages

The cable features a standard Type 2 connector on both ends, enabling compatibility with most modern EVs and Type 2 charging stations across Europe. A 5 m length provides flexibility for parking situations where the charging point and vehicle inlet are not directly adjacent. The 16 A three-phase rating allows for reliable AC charging within typical residential and workplace supply limits, while the construction is intended for regular use and handling at outdoor and indoor charging locations.

Suitable for

• Everyday home charging where a portable cable is preferred over a fixed tether
• Workplace or public AC Type 2 charging points with three-phase supply
• Users who need a 5 m reach between the vehicle and charging socket
• Owners of EVs equipped with Type 2 inlets and compatible with 16 A three-phase charging

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for AC charging at up to 16 A three-phase and therefore is not suitable for faster DC rapid charging using CCS or CHAdeMO standards. It may also be unsuitable where a higher current (for example 32 A) or a permanently mounted tether is required by the charging infrastructure or vehicle for faster charging speeds.

Key specifications

• Connector type: Type 2 (female/male arrangement compatible with AC Type 2 sockets)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Supply type: 3-phase AC
• Cable length: 5 m
• Intended use: Portable EV charging lead for use with Type 2 charging stations

How to use

Before use, visually inspect the cable and connectors for damage. Park the vehicle with the inlet accessible to the charging station, then insert the Type 2 connector firmly into the vehicle inlet and into the charging station socket as required. Follow the charging station's instructions to start charging. Do not force connectors; ensure locking mechanisms (if present) are engaged. After charging, stop the session via the charging station or vehicle controls, disengage any locks, remove the connectors, coil the cable without tight kinks and store it in a dry place or in the supplied bag when not in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your vehicle accepts Type 2 connectors and supports 16 A three-phase AC charging
• Confirm that your usual charging points provide three-phase supply at the required current
• Consider whether a longer cable, a higher current rating, or a permanently tethered solution is needed for faster or more convenient charging

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in dry conditions when possible, avoid dragging over sharp edges, and store protected from prolonged sunlight or chemicals. For safety, follow local charging station rules and vehicle manufacturer guidance on charging currents and connector handling.
