Key Features
Extended 15m Length for Maximum Flexibility
The 15-meter length provides exceptional flexibility at campsites, allowing you to reach power bollards from more distant or awkwardly positioned pitches and route the cable safely away from high-traffic areas.
High-Visibility Orange for Enhanced Safety
The bright orange jacket ensures the cable is highly visible against grass, gravel, or shadows, significantly reducing tripping hazards for you, your family, and other campers, day or night.
Premium Pure Copper Conductors
Built with 3 solid cores of 2.5mm² pure copper, this cable minimizes voltage drop over its full 15-meter length, ensuring efficient power delivery and stable performance for all your RV’s appliances, even under heavy load.
Ultra-Durable & Abrasion-Resistant Jacket
Featuring a thick, 9.8mm outer jacket designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use—resistant to abrasion from rough terrain, crushing, repeated coiling, and general wear and tear.
All-Weather, UV-Resistant Construction
Manufactured to endure prolonged exposure to sunlight (UV resistant), rain, moisture, and temperature extremes without cracking or performance loss, guaranteeing reliability season after season.
IP44 Rated for Damp & Wet Conditions
With an IP44 rating, the cable is protected against water splashes from any direction and ingress of solid objects, making it safe for use in damp grass, light rain, and typical outdoor environments.
32A Rated Connectors for Heavy-Duty Power
Fitted with robust, industry-standard 32A plugs and sockets that ensure a secure, high-current connection capable of safely powering air conditioning, electric heating, kitchens, and other high-demand systems in your vehicle.
Smart FAQ
Q1: Why choose a 15-meter cable over a shorter one?
A: The 15-meter length offers maximum versatility at caravan parks. It allows you to park further from the power source if needed, choose a better pitch, or route the cable safely around obstacles and away from walkways, reducing hazards.
Q2: Is pure copper really better than other materials?
A: Yes, significantly. Pure copper provides superior electrical conductivity compared to aluminum or copper-clad aluminum (CCA). This results in less energy loss as heat (higher efficiency), better performance when running multiple appliances, and greater durability over time.
Q3: Can this cable handle running my RV’s air conditioner and other appliances at the same time?
A: Absolutely. Rated at 32A (approximately 7.3 kW at 230V), this cable is designed to supply sufficient power for simultaneous use of high-demand appliances like air conditioning, electric water heaters, microwaves, and cooking equipment in most caravans and motorhomes.
Q4: Is it safe to use in the rain?
A: Yes, thanks to its IP44 rating, it is designed to be water-splash resistant and is safe for use in rainy conditions. However, it is important to keep the actual plug and socket connections as dry as possible and protected from direct puddles or submersion.
Q5: How should I store this 15-meter cable?
A: To prolong its life, store it loosely coiled in a dry place. Avoid tight, repeated bending in the same spot. Many users find a cable reel or a simple figure-8 coiling method effective for managing the longer length.
