Victron Energy 16A/25m shore power connection cable
Reliable shore power connection for boats and RVs
This 16A, 25-meter long shore power connection cable is the ideal solution for every boat, yacht, houseboat, and RV owner who wants a safe and stable electrical connection in a marina or campsite. The long, durable cable allows you to comfortably extend the network connection from the shore power box to the deck or vehicle.
Main features and benefits
- 16A rated current capacity for safely supplying most onboard consumers
- 25-meter long cable providing greater mobility in the marina or campsite
- European standard connectors (e.g., CEE) designed for common shore power sockets
- Robust, industrial-quality design optimized for outdoor use
- Reliable electrical connection for onboard chargers, inverters, and consumers
Application areas
The shore power connection cable can be widely used in any situation where mobile power supply is needed:
- Connecting sailboats and motorboats to shore power in marinas
- Powering onboard charging systems on yachts and houseboats
- Connecting RVs and caravans in campsites
- Temporary shore power connections at events, temporary standing spots
Who is it recommended for?
The cable is recommended for any user who regularly utilizes shore power in marinas or campsites and needs a reliable, safe connection between the network socket and the onboard electrical system:
- Boat owners, charter companies, marina operators
- RV and caravan owners
- Service companies, maintenance companies, fleet managers
Safe and stable shore power connection
The quality of the shore power cable is crucial for electrical safety. The 16A capacity is sufficient to supply typical onboard consumers – such as onboard chargers, battery chargers, lighting, refrigerators, and smaller household appliances – simultaneously. The cable is designed to withstand frequent connections, winding, and the mechanical stresses of the marina environment.
A reliable connection is particularly important in systems where a battery charger, inverter, or combined charger-inverter operates. Stable network supply reduces the risk of overheating, voltage fluctuations, or contact failures, thereby protecting onboard electrical equipment and consumers.
Compatibility with boating and camping systems
The connector design conforms to the shore power connector system commonly used in Europe, making it compatible with most sockets found in marinas, harbors, and campsites. An ideal accessory for any onboard system where:
- a boat battery charger or charger-inverter is operating,
- onboard 230V AC distribution is installed,
- the RV or caravan has a 230V network connection.
Why is the right cable length important?
The 25-meter length is particularly advantageous when:
- The shore power column is located further away from the boat or parking spot.
- You want to avoid tight or strained cables that can be more easily damaged.
- You need flexibility due to the internal layout of the marina or campsite.
The right length ensures that the cable does not become strained, eliminating the need for multiple extensions, thus reducing the risk of contact failures and heating due to transitional resistance.
Tips for safe use
- Always fully connect the plugs to ensure proper contact between the connector surfaces.
- Avoid having the cable standing in water or being strained over sharp objects.
- Do not overload: ensure that the total current draw of the connected consumers does not exceed 16A.
- Before connecting, check the rated voltage and fuses of the marina or campsite power supply.
- Occasionally inspect the cable sheath, connectors, and do not use if damaged.
Shore power connection cable for reliable power supply
Whether embarking on longer sailing trips or traveling with an RV through campsites, reliable shore power connection is key for comfort and safety. This 25A, 15m cable is a practical tool for stable and safe power supply, providing a comfortable, reliable solution in many situations.
Investing in a properly sized and quality shore power cable protects the onboard system, ensures comfortable everyday use, and extends the lifespan of electrical equipment.
