Netzanschlusskabel Konfektion und Netzkabel Sonderanfertigung für OEM und Gerätehersteller
Mains connection cables for mass-produced devices, export and international OEM projects
Minimum of 500 units – standard minimum order quantity for customised production
Min. 2,000 EUR standard minimum order value for customised production
Approx. 20–24 weeks, depending on specifications, approvals, materials and clearance
Series production & call-offs: Framework contracts, call-off quantities and packaging available by arrangement

Additional option for smaller project quantities: If fewer than 500 units are initially required for a development project, sample production, pilot series or market launch, a customised small-batch production run of 100 to 499 units can also be considered on a project-by-project basis. This offers an additional opportunity to implement a project even before regular series production is required.

  • One-off set-up fee: €490.00 net, shown separately under item number CB-E
  • Lead time for small production runs: approx. 24–26 weeks
  • Charged once per item or production batch
  • in addition to the respective item costs

The set-up fee covers the additional costs for setting up and retooling the production line, preparing machinery and tools, the increased labour, personnel and energy costs, as well as production-related material scrap associated with small batch sizes. This item does not include any products or goods.

Assembled mains connection cables for equipment manufacturers

Where standard products do not provide the optimal fit in terms of length, colour, connector, certification, packaging or production run logic.

Tailored to the device, target market and production requirements

Connector standard, IEC equipment connection, open end, cable type, cross-section, sheath material, cable length, colour and packaging are tailored to the specific project.

Suitable for OEM, export and call-off orders

Ideal for recurring production runs, international device variants, defined part numbers, country-specific mains cable sets and plannable call-off orders.

Important for approvals, target markets and certification

Power supply cables for OEM and export projects must be suitable for the respective target market, device, connector system and area of application. Desired approvals, standards or certifications should therefore be specified early in the enquiry. Certifications are only offered if they are actually available and documented for the specific design.

Please specify, where possible, the device type, target markets, plug combination, cable length, cross-section, colour, quantity, call-off schedule and any existing part numbers.

Projektbesprechung zur Netzanschlusskabel Konfektion für OEM und Gerätehersteller

Typical OEM use case

A mass-produced device remains technically identical but is supplied with different mains connection cables depending on the target market. This results in defined country variants without fundamentally altering the device platform itself.

Examples by target market

  • Germany / EU: Schuko or Euro plug, depending on the device
  • United Kingdom: UK mains cable
  • USA / Canada: appropriate NEMA plug depending on the project
  • Switzerland / Australia: country-specific variants

Project considerations

  • Current consumption and cable cross-section
  • Cable length and sheathing material
  • Equipment connection or open end
  • Approvals and certifications for each target market

Frequently asked questions about mains connection cable assemblies

Quick answers for purchasing, development, quality assurance and project management.

From what quantity do custom-made power cables make sense?

For customised mains connection cables, a minimum order quantity of 500 units and a minimum order value of €2,000 normally apply. Depending on the project, a small batch of 100 to 499 units may also be considered. For this, a one-off set-up fee of €490.00 (net) per item or production batch is charged in addition to the item costs and is shown separately under item number CB-E.

How long does production take?

The standard production and delivery time is typically around 20–24 weeks. For small batches of 100 to 499 units, this is usually around 24–26 weeks. The lead time depends on the specification, approvals, material availability, connector type, cable construction and approval process.

Which mains plugs are available?

Depending on the project, options include Schuko, Euro plugs, UK, USA, Swiss, Australian and other international plug systems.

Which IEC appliance plugs are available?

Common variants include C13, C15, C19, C5 and C7. The specific design is assessed to suit the appliance, power consumption, target market and availability.

Are power cables with open ends possible?

Yes, open-ended connection cables can be tested for direct integration into the device, control cabinet, power supply unit or module.

What information is required for an enquiry?

It is helpful to provide details of the device, target markets, plug combination, cable length, cross-section, colour, approvals, packaging, quantity, call-offs and SOP.
