Extension lead with earth contact (Schuko)

Here you will find extension cables with earth contacts for professional 230 V power distribution: 90° CEE 7/7 angled plugs to CEE 7/3 sockets in 2 m and 5 m lengths, as well as a short UPS adapter cable with an IEC 60320 C14 plug to an earth-contact socket (1 m). Ideal for workstations, technical furniture, racks and service setups where socket space is limited and cable routing needs to remain tidy. As a B2B range (bulk), we offer fast delivery from our German warehouse for projects and production requirements.

Selection guide: which safety-earthed extension lead is suitable?

Plug types & compatibility (CEE 7/7, CEE 7/3, IEC C14)

In this category, you will find classic earth-connected extension leads with a CEE 7/7 plug (Type E/F) and a CEE 7/3 socket (Type F). The 90° angled plug is particularly useful for sockets close to walls, floor sockets, behind furniture and in racks, as the cable runs more flush.

Also included: a UPS/PDU adapter cable with an IEC 60320 C14 plug to a Schuko socket (CEE 7/3) – ideal for adapting IEC outputs (e.g. on UPS/PDUs) to end devices with Schuko plugs.

Conductor cross-section, rated current & safety

  • Schuko extension cables: 3-core incl. earth conductor, 1.5 mm², designed for typical 16 A / 250 V applications in office and commercial environments.
  • UPS adapter (C14 → Schuko socket): H05VV-F 3G0.75 mm²; the permissible load is typically limited to 10 A / 250 V by IEC C14 (current-limiting via the IEC connector).
  • Touch protection on the connector supports safe use in service and installation situations.

Length, routing & space requirements (2 m vs. 5 m)

Select the length so that the connection can be made without tension, but without creating unnecessary excess cable in cable ducts, under tables or in the rack. 2 m is often suitable for short connections (workstation/technical furniture), 5 m for greater reach to floor/wall sockets or for flexible room/equipment layout.

  • 90° angled plugs reduce the bending radius and space required behind sockets.
  • Important for angled plugs: The plug illustration is authoritative (designations ‘left/right/top/bottom’ depend on the viewing angle).

Project practice (B2B): rollouts, spare parts strategy, labelling

  • Bulk packaging is efficient for series installations, stock management and technical rollouts.
  • Plan for a small reserve for sites/workstations (identical item numbers facilitate replacement and documentation).
  • For different lengths, colours or connector configurations: custom-made products to specification.
Quick check before ordering
  • Required: Schuko extension lead (CEE 7/7 → CEE 7/3) or UPS adapter (IEC C14 → Schuko socket)?
  • Check the maximum current consumption of the appliance (UPS adapter: usually 10 A; extension leads: up to 16 A).
  • Length suitable for the installation (2 m short/compact, 5 m with extra reach).
  • Space available at the socket: 90° angle plug required?
  • Quantities/project requirements: take bulk and, where applicable, volume discounts into account.
Avoid typical mistakes
  • Treating IEC UPS adapters as a ‘full-fledged’ Schuko cable: observe the 10 A limit of the IEC connection.
  • Angled plug misinterpreted: please select according to the diagram during installation.
  • Extension cables in series (“daisy chain”): increases contact resistance and creates clutter – choose a suitable length instead.
  • Loose cable routing without strain relief (especially in the rack): provide mechanical strain relief for connectors.

Mini FAQ

Does the CEE 7/7 plug fit into standard sockets in Germany/the EU?
Yes – CEE 7/7 is designed as a hybrid for Type E/F and is typically used in earthed socket installations; the mating plug is CEE 7/3 (Type F).

Why is the UPS adapter cable limited to 10 A?
The current rating is defined by the IEC 60320 C14 connector (current-limiting). For higher loads, please select a suitable solution with an appropriate combination of plug and lead.
