Power Cable Bachmann 246.376 Red 5 m

The Bachmann 246.376 Red power cable is a 5 meter mains lead designed for reliable connection of electrical equipment to a 230–250 V supply. Constructed for an input current up to 16 A, this flexible cable provides an extended reach while maintaining safe operation for a range of devices. Its red jacket improves visibility within installations and helps identify power circuits quickly.

Advantages

The cable combines mechanical robustness and electrical safety, featuring durable insulation and strain relief suitable for repeated handling. A 5 m length reduces the need for additional extensions while enabling flexible placement of appliances. The red color supports easy visual identification in crowded cable runs and workspaces. Built to industry safety expectations, the lead is suitable for continuous mains use within its voltage and current ratings.

Suitable for

• Connecting household and office appliances to mains sockets at distances up to 5 m
• Temporary power distribution for workshops, events, and on-site setups
• Use with power strips, extension blocks and fixed equipment within rated current
• Color-coded cabling in installations where visibility is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Rated input voltage: 250 V (nominal mains voltage compatibility)
• Rated current capacity: 16 A
• Outer jacket color: red for high visibility
• Construction: flexible mains lead suitable for indoor use

How to use

Inspect the cable for visible damage before each use and ensure connectors are free of dirt and moisture. Plug the cable into a compatible mains socket and attach the appliance to the opposite connector; verify that the appliance’s rated current does not exceed 16 A. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges, heat sources and tripping hazards. When disconnecting, pull the plug rather than the cable to avoid stressing the conductor terminations.

Recommendations

For safe and long-lasting operation, use the cable indoors and within its rated voltage and current. Avoid permanent outdoor exposure, prolonged contact with liquids, and mechanical strain. If the cable shows cuts, flattened conductors, or damaged insulation, take it out of service and replace it.
