Quick Facts — 46638 Rubber extension lead

• Model: 46638
• EAN: 5907570031289
• Type: Rubber extension lead
• Cable length: 30 m
• Conductors: 3 x 2.5 mm²
• Protection class: IP44
• Sockets: 2 earthed sockets

Rubber extension lead with 30 m of cable, 3 x 2.5 mm² and two earthed sockets for powering machines and tools outdoors and in damp environments. Protection class IP44 guards against objects over 1 mm and water splashes from all directions.

The lead is made of rubber and comes packed in a foil bag. Two earthed sockets allow two loads to be connected at the same time on one lead.

When does extension lead 46638 make the most sense?

It makes the most sense when two earthed sockets and 30 m of reach are needed at a location without a nearby wall outlet. The 3 x 2.5 mm² conductor area and IP44 suit sites where splashing occurs.

How extension lead 46638 is used outdoors

For outdoor work, IP44 protects the sockets against splashing water from all directions and against objects over 1 mm. The rubber cable and the two earthed sockets provide:

• two connection points 30 m from the supply point
• earthed connection for tools and machines
• splash protection to IP44 in damp environments

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can extension lead 46638 be hosed down with water?

No. IP44 gives protection against water splashes from all directions and against objects over 1 mm, but not against jetting or immersion. Extension lead 46638 therefore suits splash-exposed environments, not pressure washing.

How long is extension lead 46638 and what conductor area does it have?

The cable is 30 m long with 3 x 2.5 mm² and two earthed sockets. The length applies with the cable fully unrolled.

How does extension lead 46638 differ from other extension leads?

Extension lead 46638 has a rubber cable with 3 x 2.5 mm² at 30 m, IP44 and two earthed sockets. That gives more connection points and splash protection compared with single-socket leads without an ingress rating.
