Extension lead connector Solight PS30 — 1-socket rubber cable 5 m, 3×1.5 mm², black

Solight PS30 is an extension lead connector that combines a single socket with a 5 m rubber-insulated cable. The cable cross-section is 3×1.5 mm², providing a standard capacity for many household appliances, power tools and portable equipment. The rubber sheath increases flexibility and offers improved resistance to abrasion and moisture compared with plain PVC-sheathed cords, making the unit suitable for indoor use and light-duty professional tasks where a short, robust extension is required.

Advantages

The design of this connector-style extension lead simplifies joining or extending power leads without requiring fixed installation or multiple adapters. The rubber-insulated cable maintains flexibility at lower temperatures and reduces the risk of mechanical damage in workshop or outdoor-sheltered environments. A single-socket layout keeps the product compact and easy to handle while the 5 m length provides a practical reach for common placement scenarios.

Suitable for

• Extending power to household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, lamps and radios
• Temporary power for light power tools and garden equipment in sheltered areas
• Connecting devices where a short, flexible extension cord is needed for convenience
• Workshops and maintenance tasks that require a durable, abrasion-resistant cable

When it may not be suitable

This extension lead is not intended for heavy-duty professional use where higher current capacities or multiple sockets are required. It is also not rated for continuous outdoor exposure or submersion; prolonged exposure to rain, UV or extreme weather conditions may degrade the rubber sheath and affect safety.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Cable type: rubber-insulated flexible cable
• Conductor configuration: 3 conductors
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per conductor
• Number of sockets: 1
• Color: black

How to use

Connect the plug end of the extension lead to a properly grounded wall outlet that matches the plug type. Insert the device plug into the single socket of the connector. Avoid overloading the extension by comparing the combined current draw of connected equipment with the rated capacity of 1.5 mm² conductors; use only one device at a time or devices with low combined current draw. Keep the cable free from sharp edges and away from heat sources. When used in workshop or garden settings, place the connector where it will not be run over or exposed to direct water spray.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 1.5 mm² conductor size matches your required current load for the devices you plan to use
• Confirm a single-socket layout meets your outlet requirements; no additional sockets are included
• Consider whether a longer cable or a multi-socket extension with overload protection is needed for your application
• Note that the product is designed for indoor and light-duty sheltered outdoor use, not continuous outdoor exposure

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cable and connector before each use for cracks, cuts or damage to the rubber sheath. Do not use the extension if the insulation or socket shows signs of wear. For higher-power equipment, choose an extension lead with a larger conductor cross-section or a purpose-built multi-socket unit with overload protection.
