Power cable Rittal 2500.520 ECBT2 3 m, for 100–240 V input

Rittal 2500.520 is a 3 m power cable with an ECBT2 connector intended for supplying devices with a 100–240 V input. The cable offers a straightforward, timed-saving connection for LED system lighting and other equipment that accepts an ECBT2 interface. It is designed for use in industrial enclosures, control cabinets and machinery where a two-pole mains lead and a three-metre reach are required.

Advantages

The lead provides a reliable two-pole connection compatible with ECBT2 interfaces and is supplied in a high-visibility orange colour to aid identification inside cabinets or work areas. With a 3 m length it reduces the need for additional extensions and allows flexible placement of lighting and devices. The cable is produced to meet typical industrial usage demands and is suitable for replacement or new installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting LED system lights in control cabinets and enclosures
• Supplying machinery or equipment with 100–240 V input that uses an ECBT2 connector
• Replacement of worn or damaged two-pole mains leads with a 3 m requirement
• Industrial and workshop environments where a visible cable colour is beneficial

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended specifically for devices that accept an ECBT2 connector and require a two-pole mains connection; it will not work with devices needing different connector types or additional conductors such as earth/ground or three-phase supplies. It is not a universal power cord and should not be used where stricter environmental or mechanical protection ratings are required unless those specifications are verified separately.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector type: ECBT2 (male interface)
• Poles: 2-pole mains lead
• Rated input voltage range: 100–240 V AC
• Colour: orange
• Intended application: power supply for lighting and equipment in enclosures/control cabinets

How to use

Inspect the cable and connector for damage before use. Align and insert the ECBT2 male connector into the corresponding female inlet on the device until it seats securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and moving parts and secure it to prevent strain on the connector. Connect the other end to the appropriate mains supply rated 100–240 V AC. After installation, verify that connected equipment powers up correctly and that there is no excess heating at the connector during initial operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the target device accepts an ECBT2 connector and requires a two-pole mains lead
• Ensure a 3 m cable length suits your installation route and reach requirements
• Check that a two-pole connection and the 100–240 V rating meet your electrical and safety needs
• Verify whether additional protection (strain relief, conduit, or IP-rated enclosures) is required for your environment

Usage recommendations

Use the cable indoors within control cabinets or enclosures unless otherwise specified; avoid exposure to excessive moisture, corrosive chemicals or mechanical abrasion. For installations in demanding environments, add appropriate conduit or protective measures and ensure all electrical work complies with local regulations and safety standards.
