1. Plug Standard: CEE 7/16 (Type C Europlug)
Type: Two round-pin ungrounded European plug.
Compatibility: Fits most wall outlets across continental Europe (e.g., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands) and is also compatible with sockets in South Korea, Russia, and many other countries.
Note: This plug differs from the grounded German “Schuko” plug (CEE 7/3 & 7/4). It does not provide grounding and must not be used with devices that require grounding or exceed its power rating.
2. Electrical Ratings & Certifications
Safety Certifications: Certified by Germany’s leading testing authorities VDE and TÜV, and compliant with CE EU safety standards. This ensures superior material quality, construction, and electrical safety.
Ratings:
Voltage: 250V AC (compatible with 220V-240V standard mains voltage)
Current: 2.5A
Maximum Power: 625 Watts (calculated as: 250V × 2.5A = 625W)
Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with CEE 7/16 (plug standard) and IEC 884-1 (general standard for plugs and sockets).
3. Connector Options (Device End)
Choose from the following connector types based on your device’s input:
IEC 60320 C7 (“Figure-8”): The most common connector for laptop power adapters, game consoles, audio equipment, and more.
IEC 60320 C17: Similar to the C7 but with a notch, often used with monitors and certain appliances.
Unterminated: Bare wire ends provided for custom termination or DIY connections.
4. Cable & Customization
Standard Colors: Black and white.
Custom Colors: Gray and other custom colors are available upon request.
Cable Type: Standard dual-core parallel flat cable. Shielded cable options are available for applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (e.g., audio equipment).
Custom Lengths: Tailor the cable length to your specific needs to avoid clutter.
Processing Services: Custom stripping and other processing services are supported.
Suitable Applications
Ideal For: All low-power electronic devices and appliances under 625W, including:
Phone/tablet chargers
LED lamps, bedside lights
Laptop power supplies
Charging bases for electric shavers/toothbrushes
Low-power speakers, routers, monitors
Not For Use With: Must not be used with high-power appliances such as kettles, hair dryers, space heaters, or irons. Such devices require higher-rated (e.g., 16A) grounded (Schuko) power cords.
Before You Purchase
Check Power Requirements: Ensure your device’s power consumption does not exceed this cord’s 625W maximum load.
Verify Connector Type: Confirm the input connector shape on your device (C7 or C17) to select the correct option.
Travel Destinations: While this plug is widely compatible in Europe, travelers to Switzerland, the UK, Ireland, etc., may require additional adapters.
In summary, this is a high-quality, safe, and flexible power connectivity solution, particularly suited for users seeking reliable cables of specific lengths for low-power devices.
