Extension lead coupling Solight PS16O — 1-socket, 10 m cable, 3×1 mm², orange

Solight PS16O is an inline extension lead coupling with a single socket and a 10 m bright orange cable. Built with three conductors of 1.0 mm² cross-section, this coupling is intended to join extension cords or extend power from a supply point to portable tools and appliances. The compact in-line design provides a straightforward temporary power connection suitable for workshops, gardens, small construction tasks and other areas where a visible, durable cable run is needed.

Advantages

The Solight PS16O coupling offers a simple, single-socket solution for extending mains power without the need for additional junction boxes. Its 10 m cable provides added reach while the high-visibility orange insulation helps reduce trip and damage risks on sites. The three-core 1.0 mm² conductors deliver adequate current capacity for light to medium loads and the in-line format makes installation and removal quick and low-effort.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution for handheld power tools
• Workshop and garage tasks where a short extension is needed
• Garden equipment and outdoor maintenance (short-term use)
• Connecting longer extension leads to reach remote power points

When it may not be suitable

This coupling is not intended as a permanent fixed wiring solution or for installation inside walls or permanent electrical systems. The 1.0 mm² conductor size and single socket are appropriate for light to medium loads; it may not be suitable for high-power appliances or continuous heavy-duty industrial use where larger conductor cross-sections and multi-socket, fused units are required.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Conductor configuration: 3-core
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm² per core
• Socket count: 1
• Cable colour: orange (high-visibility)

How to use

To use the Solight PS16O, connect one end of an appropriate extension lead to the supply plug and plug the other extension or appliance into the single socket of the coupling. Ensure that connections are secure and that the cable is routed to minimise wear and trip hazards. Use the coupling for temporary power tasks and disconnect mains power before inspecting or storing the unit. Do not modify the coupling or expose it to prolonged wet conditions unless it is specifically rated for outdoor continuous use.

What to consider before purchase

• Required current and load of the devices to be powered — verify compatibility with 1.0 mm² conductors
• Intended use environment (indoor, covered outdoor, or exposed conditions)
• Whether a single-socket inline coupling meets your need versus multi-socket or fused alternatives
• Visibility and cable length requirements — 10 m orange cable for ease of routing and safety

Usage recommendations

Use the Solight PS16O for short-term, visible extension tasks: connect handheld tools and appliances where a temporary, easily removable inline coupling is needed. Avoid continuous heavy loads, protect the cable from sharp edges and prolonged moisture exposure, and store the coupling coiled in a dry place when not in use.
