Power connection cable Plastrol PP-21 with plug 3 m H05RR-F 2x1 (W-97188)

The Plastrol PP-21 power connection cable (model W-97188) is a 3 m flexible cable with a moulded plug and two conductors of 2x1 mm² designed for temporary power connections. Made with H05RR-F rubber insulation and sheathing, the cable provides mechanical resistance and maintains flexibility for handling and routing in confined spaces. It is intended for indoor use and light-duty outdoor applications where a standard two-core 1 mm² connection is required for portable appliances, power tools, extension leads and similar equipment.

Advantages

The H05RR-F construction offers a balance of flexibility and durability while the 3 m length provides reach for common household and workshop situations. Two conductors of 1 mm² cross-section allow safe connection of small to medium power appliances within the rated limits of the cable. The moulded plug simplifies installation and reduces the risk of loose connections, and the rubber outer sheath resists abrasion and provides improved handling compared with rigid-sheathed cables.

Suitable for

• Temporary power supply to portable electrical appliances and devices
• Connecting small power tools and workshop equipment for short-duration tasks
• Use in household and light industrial indoor environments
• Light-duty outdoor use where the cable is protected from prolonged moisture or mechanical damage

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for permanent fixed installations or for applications requiring earth/ground conductor or three-core wiring. It is a 2-core 1 mm² cable, so it is unsuitable for high-power appliances that require larger conductor cross-sections or grounding. For prolonged or heavy outdoor exposure, UV, chemicals or continuous mechanical abrasion, a cable with higher protection ratings should be used.

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Cable type: H05RR-F (flexible rubber insulated cable)
• Conductors: 2 cores, 1.0 mm² each
• Sheath material: rubber (flexible, abrasion-resistant)
• End type: moulded plug on one end, free conductors or fitted connector on the other depending on configuration

How to use

Inspect the cable and plug for visible damage before use. Connect the moulded plug to a compatible mains socket ensuring the socket meets local electrical regulations and the appliance's power requirements. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges, pinch points and tripping hazards, and keep it clear of heat sources and water accumulation. Do not overload the cable beyond its current-carrying capacity; follow the appliance manufacturer's recommendations and local wiring standards. After use, coil the cable loosely to avoid kinks and store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 2-core, 1.0 mm² cable meets the power and safety requirements of your appliance
• Check whether a grounded (three-core) cable is required for your equipment
• Consider the installation environment: for continuous outdoor, wet, or chemically exposed locations choose a cable with higher protection ratings
• Verify the required length and connector type fit your intended use

Usage recommendations

Use the Plastrol PP-21 cable for short-term connections to portable appliances and tools in dry or lightly damp environments, avoid permanent installation, and always observe the cable's current limits and local electrical safety regulations.
