FAQs
What does IP44 rated mean?
IP44 means the cable is protected against solid objects over 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use where rain or splashes might occur.
What is the maximum amperage this cable can handle?
This cable is designed for a 16A (Ampere) capacity, which is standard for most campsite hook-up points and caravan inlets.
Is this cable suitable for use in the UK?
Yes, the cable uses standard UK 16A plugs and sockets, and is approved to BS EN60309 standards, making it suitable for use in the UK and other regions with compatible hook-up systems.
Can I use this cable to connect to a regular household socket at home?
The cable itself has a 16A plug designed for hook-up points. However, SecureFix Direct offers a separate 'Fly Lead Adaptor' with a UK 3-pin plug that allows you to connect your caravan to a domestic home socket for testing or charging.
How do I store the cable to prevent damage?
Coil the cable loosely to avoid creating sharp kinks. Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, preferably in its original packaging or a dedicated storage bag.
What is the diameter of the cable?
The cable has a diameter of 1.5mm.
Is the copper cable pure?
Yes, the cable is made of 100% copper for optimal conductivity and durability.
Troubleshooting
No power to the caravan.
Check that the cable is securely plugged into both the campsite hook-up and your caravan. Verify that the campsite power is active. Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage. Try a different hook-up point if available.
Cable feels warm during use.
A slight warmth is normal under heavy load. However, if the cable becomes excessively hot, disconnect immediately. Ensure the load does not exceed the cable's capacity. Check for tight connections which can cause resistance and heat.
