Power cable – Rest of the world

Power cables – Rest of the world for export, projects and international procurement

In this category, MAG GmbH’s B2B customers will find a selection of connection cables for specific countries and special plug systems – suitable for export, rollouts, servicing and spare parts stock.

Depending on the destination country, pre-assembled power cables with suitable country-specific plugs and common appliance plugs such as IEC 60320 C13 are available. To ensure a project-safe selection, the plug type, voltage, frequency, certification and cable design for the target market should be checked.

Advantages and typical applications of international power cables

Your benefits at a glance

  • Country-specific plug variants for specialist markets and international installations.
  • Common appliance plugs such as IEC C13 for IT, AV, industrial and office equipment.
  • Suitable for rollouts, maintenance, spare parts stock and project-related procurement.
  • Practical cable qualities and lengths for technical rooms, racks and installation environments.
  • Advice via mag-kabel.de on suitable country-specific variants, alternatives and custom solutions.

Typical applications

  • Power supply for IT and AV components in international branches and project sites.
  • OEM and export equipment with suitable country-specific power cables instead of makeshift adapter solutions.
  • Service and maintenance of equipment and systems installed worldwide.
  • Standardised cabling of components with IEC device plugs in network and technical areas.
  • Temporary installations in trade fair, event and project environments.

Country-specific information and alternative categories

Flagge Chile Flagge Libyen Chile and Libya

Due to the plug design, the 3-pin Italian mains cable may also be suitable for use in Chile and Libya in practice.

Please check on a case-by-case basis whether the relevant CEI specification and the operating conditions in the target market are sufficient.

  • Chile: 220 V / 50 Hz
  • Libya: 127–230 V / 50 Hz

In these markets, plug type G, also known as BS 1363, is used. This plug system originates from the UK and is widely used in the low-voltage sector.

A typical feature is the fuse integrated into the plug, which, depending on the model, is e.g. 3A, 5A, 10A or 13A.

Flagge Syrien Flagge Türkei Syria and Turkey

In Syria and Turkey, the CEE 7/7 safety plug (Type E+F) is frequently used in practice.

In the CEE 7/7 system, the Type E and Type F earthing systems have been combined in a single plug, so that earthing can be achieved either via the contact surfaces or the earth pin.

Flagge Philippinen Note: Philippine power cables

In the Philippines, plug types A, B and, to some extent, C are most commonly encountered in practice. The typical voltage is 220–230 V / 60 Hz. For B2B projects, however, a purely mechanical fit is not sufficient – standards, market approval and device certification are also crucial.

  • Important: Despite having a similar A/B plug shape, US and Japanese power cables are generally not an official solution for the Philippines, as voltage, standards and certifications differ.
  • Practical advice: Adapters may be useful for testing, samples or short-term use, but they are no substitute for a country-specific production solution.
  • Status MAG / Yung Li: As things stand, there is no specific Philippine series certification in the standard range; however, project-specific assessments are possible.

Flagge Taiwan Note: Taiwan power cables (BSMI approval)

Please note regarding Taiwan: The cable looks similar to the US plug, but a different certification (BSMI) applies. Furthermore, the conductor cross-section is typically not specified in AWG. To ensure a project-safe selection, the relevant country requirements and device specifications should always be checked.

Which plug for which country?

In international projects, the question often arises as to which mains plug must be used in the respective country. In some countries – for example, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and, in many cases, France – connections are generally used that correspond to or are compatible with the CEE 7/7 system used in Germany.

In Italy (IT) and Switzerland (CH), the following applies: 2-pin power cables may, depending on the application, be comparable in some cases to the standard designs used in Germany; however, 3-pin variants generally feature different plug systems. Furthermore, many countries worldwide rely on their own standards, for example Denmark (DK), England (UK), the USA, Japan (JPN), China (CHN), Australia (AUS), Israel (ISR), South Africa (RSA) or India (IND).

In many cases comparable to Germany

  • CEE 7/7 is common in several European markets.
  • Typical examples: Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands.
  • In France, too, compatible solutions are relevant depending on the device and application.

Note country-specific features

  • Italy and Switzerland differ in particular with regard to 3-pin mains cables.
  • Many international markets require their own plug systems and, in some cases, their own approvals.
  • The destination country, device plug, standard and cable design are decisive factors in the selection.

Conclusion

Mains plugs and connection standards are not uniform internationally – not even within Europe. For a smooth installation, it is therefore always advisable to select based on the destination country, device plug, approval and cable design.
