A robust CEE coupling for outdoor power, the as - Schwabe CEE Socket, shows when mains voltage is present. Clear LED indication removes guesswork and reassures when setting up at campsites or site trailers. Is adding visible voltage and a weatherproof, durable coupling worth carrying in a kit?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Voltage Indicator: POWERLIGHT LED illuminates red when voltage is present
- • Best for: Outdoor use, camping, builders and temporary power distribution
- • Not ideal for: Applications requiring protection beyond IP44
A 230 V, 16 A, 3-pin CEE coupling with POWERLIGHT voltage indication and IP44 protection. Impact resistant housing, twist lock and a self-closing hinged lid suit damp or dirty outdoor environments.
Immediate power confirmation - with POWERLIGHT voltage indicator
The POWERLIGHT indicator uses an LED that lights red when the CEE coupling is connected to mains voltage. That visual feedback is integral to the coupling's design and is active whenever power is present.
Quick confirmation of live supply reduces uncertainty when connecting generators, site power or campsite hook-ups. Users can avoid needless probing and see at a glance whether a circuit is live.
Secure connection and strain relief - with twist lock and cable kink protection
A twist-lock mechanism locks the coupling onto its mating plug while integrated cable kink protection reduces strain at the entry point. The housing is impact resistant to withstand knocks and rough handling.
Locked connections stay secure during use, preventing accidental disconnection. Reduced cable strain helps avoid premature wear and keeps the connection reliable on busy sites.
Weather-ready handling - with IP44 protection and self-closing hinged lid
Protection class IP44 guards against solid foreign objects and splashing water, while a hinged lid with an integrated lever closes automatically and allows one-handed opening. These design choices protect contacts from dirt and moisture.
Safe operation in damp or dirty environments such as campsites and outdoor events. One-handed access makes plugging and unplugging quicker when working alone or in confined spaces.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for as - Schwabe CEE Socket
- Impact resistant housing - Absorbs knocks and drops on job sites, prolonging lifespan
- Twist lock with cable kink protection - Keeps cables secure and prevents strain at the connection
- Self-closing hinged lid with lever - Enables one-handed opening while keeping contacts shielded from dirt
- IEC 60309 tested compatibility - Accepts standard 3G2.5 cables for common outdoor power setups
