Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the blue and gray Powerconnector?
The blue Powerconnector (Type A) is designed for power input (power-in), while the gray one (Type B) is used for power output (power-out). They are not interchangeable to ensure electrical safety.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
Although the cable is robust, it does not have a specific weatherproofing (IP) rating. It is recommended for use in dry environments or areas protected from rain and humidity to ensure its safety and durability.
Can I daisy-chain multiple devices with this type of cable?
This specific cable, having a Schuko connector on one end, is designed to connect a device to a power outlet. To daisy-chain devices, you would need cables with Powerconnector connectors: input (blue) on one end and output (gray) on the other.
