Key Features
High-Visibility Safety Design
The bright orange outer jacket significantly improves cable visibility at caravan parks and campsites, helping to prevent trips and falls, and making it easy to identify and manage your power line.
Superior Conductivity with Pure Copper Cores
Constructed with 3 high-purity copper cores (2.5mm² each), ensuring minimal voltage drop, excellent current carrying capacity (32A), and stable, efficient power delivery to your vehicle over the full 10-meter length.
Extreme Durability for Outdoor Use
Built with a thick, 9.8mm outer diameter jacket that offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, crushing, repeated bending, and general wear from rough ground, stones, and foot traffic.
Weatherproof & UV-Resistant Construction
Engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight (UV resistant), rain, moisture, and temperature fluctuations without cracking or degrading, guaranteeing long-term reliability in all seasons.
IP44 Rated for Damp Environment Safety
The IP44 rating provides proven protection against water splashes from any direction and ingress of solid objects larger than 1mm. This makes it safe for use in damp grass, light rain, and typical outdoor campsite conditions.
32A Rated Connectors for Heavy-Duty Power
Fitted with robust 32A plugs and sockets designed for high-current applications, ensuring a secure, stable connection capable of powering all onboard appliances in your caravan or motorhome without overheating.
Smart FAQ
Q1: What is the main use of this cable?
A: This is a mains hook-up cable designed to connect your caravan, motorhome, or campervan to a dedicated 220-240V external power supply point (like those found at caravan parks or campsites) to power all internal systems and appliances.
Q2: Is the bright orange color just for looks?
A: No, the high-visibility orange is primarily a safety feature. It makes the cable highly noticeable on the ground, greatly reducing the risk of people tripping over it, especially in busy or dimly lit outdoor areas.
Q3: Why is pure copper important?
A: Pure copper offers the best electrical conductivity compared to alternatives like copper-clad aluminum (CCA). This means less energy loss as heat (higher efficiency), better performance under heavy load (like running air conditioning), and greater long-term reliability.
Q4: Can this cable be left outside in the rain?
A: Yes, thanks to its IP44 rating. It is designed to be water-splash resistant from all angles, making it perfectly safe for use in rainy conditions. However, the connection points (plugs and sockets) should be kept as dry as possible and are not submersible.
Q5: Is 10 meters long enough?
A: A 10-meter length is a standard and versatile choice for most campsites, providing ample reach from the power bollard to your vehicle's inlet, even if parked at a distance or needing to route the cable safely around obstacles.
Q6: What does 32A mean, and is it enough for my RV?
A: 32 Amperes is the maximum current the cable and its connectors are safely rated to carry. This is sufficient to power almost all consumer RVs and caravans simultaneously running multiple appliances like fridges, microwaves, kettles, heaters, and air conditioning units. Always check your vehicle's maximum power intake.
