Power cable Rittal 2500.435 orange 3 m — 3‑pole, 100–240 V input

Rittal 2500.435 orange 3 m is a three‑pole power cable designed for through‑wiring and direct device connection in industrial and cabinet environments. Intended for use with equipment that accepts a 100–240 V input, this compact cable provides a short, robust mains connection in a highly visible orange color to aid identification and routing inside enclosures.

Advantages

This 3 m power lead combines a straightforward straight‑to‑straight connector configuration with a durable construction suitable for installation inside control cabinets and machine housings. The orange insulation improves visibility during installation and maintenance, while the three‑pole wiring supports standard mains connections across a wide input voltage range. The cable's length is selected to minimise excess wiring in compact setups, facilitating neat, time‑efficient routing.

Suitable for

• Through‑wiring inside electrical cabinets and control panels
• Short mains connections between devices and distribution points in industrial equipment
• Connecting LED system lights and other low‑profile components requiring a 100–240 V feed
• Installations where a visible cable color helps with identification and service

When it may not be suitable

This power cable is intended for short runs and internal cabinet use; it may not be suitable for long-distance power distribution or outdoor exposure where additional mechanical protection or weatherproofing is required. It is not designed to replace heavy‑duty supply cables for high current industrial mains without confirming current ratings and suitability for the specific application.

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Number of poles: 3
• Voltage range: 100–240 V (input)
• Connector type: straight male on both ends (straight‑to‑straight)
• Color: orange
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Route the cable through the cabinet or enclosure to connect equipment requiring a 100–240 V supply. Ensure power is switched off before making any connections. Insert the straight male connectors into the corresponding female mating connectors on the devices or distribution blocks, and secure any strain reliefs or cable clamps to prevent mechanical stress. Verify polarity and grounding where applicable, then restore power and check the connected device for correct operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 3 m length is suitable for your intended routing and that a short run is acceptable.
• Verify that the 100–240 V voltage range and three‑pole configuration match your device's requirements.
• Ensure connector compatibility with the mating female connectors on your equipment.
• Assess whether additional environmental protection or a longer, heavier‑duty cable is required for outdoor or high‑mechanical‑stress applications.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for internal cabinet wiring and short interconnections, secure it with cable ties or clamps to avoid strain at connector ends, and perform a visual inspection after installation to confirm connector seating and insulation integrity.
