Further information for Brennenstuhl 1168440 Extension Cable 5 m white
The extension cable from Hugo Brennenstuhl, type 1168440, is a 5-meter-long power cable in white color, specifically designed for indoor use. It features a grounded plug and a matching grounded coupling, ensuring safe and reliable power supply. The cable is made of high-quality plastic and provides enhanced shock protection, increasing safety during use, especially in areas with increased risk of electrical contact accidents.
Extension cable is used to extend the reach of electrical devices when the socket is not in immediate proximity. It enables the power supply of devices that need to be connected at a different location within the room or in an adjacent room, without the need to install additional sockets. The length of 5 meters provides sufficient flexibility for use in living rooms, offices, or workshops.
Grounded plug and grounded coupling are designed according to German and European standards and ensure safe earthing. This is particularly important to avoid dangerous contact voltages in case of device or cable faults. The coupling is designed to connect only with a matching grounded plug, minimizing the risk of incorrect connections.
Enhanced shock protection means that the metallic parts of the plug and coupling are protected by additional insulation or design, preventing direct contact with conductive parts in case of accidental touch. This is especially relevant in environments where children or individuals with reduced perception are present.
The cable is intended for indoor use. Use in outdoor environments or damp conditions is therefore not recommended.
The plastic insulation of the cable ensures high mechanical stability and resistance to mechanical stress, such as pressure or friction. The white color allows for discreet integration into many indoor spaces, especially in offices or apartments with neutral color schemes.
The cable is classified as a power cable, meaning it is designed for the transmission of electrical energy between a socket and a consumer device. It is not intended for data transmission or other special functions such as network connections or signal cables.
The extension is designed for direct connection to a socket. It does not include additional features such as switches, overload protection, or integrated sockets. It is used exclusively as a pure power extension without additional electronic components.
Installation and mounting are performed by simply plugging the plug into a socket and connecting the coupling to the device. No tools or additional mounting work are required. The connection is immediately operational once the plug connection is established.
In operation, the cable provides reliable power supply without visible impairments. The use of high-quality plastic ensures long service life and resistance to wear. The white color remains stable over time, without discoloration or wear that would affect functionality.
The extension is compatible with all devices that connect via a grounded plug (Schuko). It is not suitable for devices with other plug systems such as CEE plugs, two-pole plugs, or special industrial plugs. Use with devices requiring a different plug shape is not possible.
