Country-specific power cables and connector systems

A typical application is equipping identical machines with different power cables for different countries. Depending on the target market, the plug system, cable type, voltage, frequency, current-carrying capacity, cross-section, sheath material and cable length are tailored accordingly.

Examples

  • Germany / EU: Schuko or suitable IEC connection cable
  • United Kingdom: UK power cable for the British target market
  • USA / Canada: suitable US plug and tailored cable construction

Standard solutions

  • Same machine with different mains cable sets
  • Country-specific configuration
  • Framework contracts and call-offs according to planning

Technical specifications and selection criteria

The right cable is determined by the application, environment, target market and production requirements.

Cable construction

  • Various cross-sections and conductor counts
  • Open end, plug, connector or socket
  • custom cable lengths

Material & environment

  • Sheath material depending on application
  • Extended temperature ranges depending on the project
  • Oil- and chemical-resistant cables

Safety & application

  • Halogen-free versions (LSZH)
  • Robust cables for movement and tight bending radii
  • Project-specific verification of approvals and requirements

Information on cable designations such as H05VV-F, H07RN-F, Z1Z1, number of conductors, protective conductor marking and cross-section can be found in our advice section.

How a custom-made project works

A clear process reduces queries and improves planning reliability.

Enquiry & Specification

Application, machine or system type, target market, connector types, cable lengths, quantities and call-off planning are recorded.

Technical design

Connectors, cable types, cable construction, sheathing material and the appropriate design are selected for the application environment.

Sampling & Approval

On request, samples are provided for testing in the device, in the control cabinet or directly on the machine.

Series production & delivery

Once approved, production commences with coordinated delivery via the logistics centre in Lengede; on request, this can also be arranged as a call-off solution.

Custom-made products based on stock items

An existing standard item can simplify technical classification and coordination.

For example, a standard item can be adapted

  • same cable type in a different length
  • same cable type in a different colour
  • customised combination of plugs, couplings or sockets
  • open end instead of standard plug or vice versa
  • Further technical customisations by arrangement

Suitable starting points in the range

National power cables International power cables Extension cables for IT equipment LAN / Ethernet cables

When making your enquiry, please quote the item number of the relevant base product and the required customisation.
