Extension cable PSSO 16A 5x2.5 mm² 25 m Black Edition

PSSO Extension cable 16A 5x2.5 mm² 25 m Black Edition is a heavy-duty power extension designed to deliver a grounded 16 amp supply over a longer distance. The cable features five conductors with 2.5 mm² cross-section each, suitable for circuits that require earth, neutral and three-phase or multi-core connections. The 25 metre length and durable black outer sheath make this model appropriate for workshops, construction sites and temporary power runs where a secure and reliable connection is needed.

Advantages

The extension cable offers reliable current capacity for devices and tools rated up to 16A and supports installations that need an earth conductor. Robust insulation and a flexible outer jacket provide mechanical protection and ease of handling, while the five-core design allows for both single-phase and multi-core connections. The 25 m length reduces the need for multiple shorter cables and helps maintain voltage stability for connected equipment when used within the specified limits.

Suitable for

• Powering portable tools and machinery in workshops or garages
• Temporary site power and construction equipment connections
• Extending grounded power to appliances and lighting for events or renovations
• Multi-core wiring needs where earth, neutral and three live conductors are required

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Conductor configuration: 5 cores
• Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm² per core
• Cable length: 25 m
• Outer sheath colour: black
• Suitable for indoor and protected outdoor use

How to use

Before use, confirm that the connected devices do not exceed the 16A rating and that wiring polarity and grounding requirements are met. Unroll the cable fully during operation to avoid heat build-up. Connect the cable to appropriate plugs or sockets compatible with five-core wiring, ensuring secure terminations and insulated connections. When used outdoors, place the cable in protected or sheltered locations to avoid direct exposure to water; avoid sharp bends and mechanical damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cable regularly for visible damage to the outer sheath or conductors; replace the cable if insulation is compromised. Avoid overloading beyond the 16A rating, and use residual-current protection and appropriate circuit breakers in the supply circuit. Store the cable coiled without tight knots and keep it dry and away from heat sources when not in use.
