SCE White 2 Way Extension Cord 10m

Our SCE 2 Way Extension Cord White 10m is a heavy-duty 250V electrical lead designed to provide extended power access in large residential or office spaces. Featuring a standard South African Type M 16A moulded plug and a dual-socket head, this high-capacity cable allows for the simultaneous connection of two grounded appliances over a ten-metre distance from a wall outlet.

Safety Precautions

• • Wattage Management: The combined power consumption of both connected devices must not exceed 3500W to prevent the extension cord from overheating.
• • Full Uncoiling: For high-wattage appliances, always uncoil the full 10m extension cord to ensure proper heat dissipation and prevent melting the insulation.
• • Water Safety: This lead is not waterproof; ensure the socket head remains dry and away from rain, swimming pools, or damp garden soil.
• • Avoid Overloading: Do not plug additional multi-way adapters or high-draw heaters into the 2-way head as this creates a fire hazard.
• • Trip Hazard: Secure the cable along walls or use cable protectors when crossing walkways to prevent accidental trips or damage to the wire.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can I use this for my lawnmower? While it can handle the power of most lawnmowers, it is better suited for stationary appliances; for moving garden equipment, a high-visibility orange safety lead is recommended.
• • Is this extension surge protected? No, this is a standard 10m extension cord; for protecting sensitive electronics against power surges, use a separate SCE surge-protected adapter.
• • What is the thickness of the cable? It uses standard 1.5mm 3-core flexible cabtyre, which is the South African standard for high-current 16A domestic extensions.
• • Will the 2-way head fit large 3-pin plugs? Yes, both sockets are the standard Type M size found in South African homes, designed to fit all earthed 3-pin plugs.
