Victron Energy 16A/250V CEE plug / 2xCEE socket distribution cable

Professional CEE distribution cable for 16A / 250V systems

This premium quality distribution cable is the ideal solution for any user who wants to reliably split a 230V, 16 amp CEE standard connection into two separate consumers. The product is specifically suitable for caravans, boats, camping use, industrial equipment, mobile power supply systems, and workshops where safe and stable power distribution is important.

Main features and benefits

• CEE standard 16A / 250V connections
• 1 plug and 2 sockets for splitting the network power
• Safe, splash-proof and mechanically impact-resistant design
• Reliable wire cross-section for stable current capacity
• Optimized cable length for practicality and reduced voltage drop
• Easy and quick connection thanks to CEE connector compatibility
• Suitable for continuous operation in campsites, boats, RVs, and workshops

Application areas

You can use the distribution cable in places where you want to power two devices or consumer circuits from a single CEE connection point. It is particularly useful in the following areas:

• Powering RVs and caravans in campsites
• 230V shore connection for boats and sailboats
• Powering small machines and tools used on construction sites
• 230V machines, compressors, chargers operating in workshops and garages
• Mobile power distribution at events, festivals, temporary stands

Safety and reliability

The CEE connectors are specifically designed for industrial and professional use, making them much safer and more robust than traditional household sockets. The solid construction, proper touch protection, and mechanical stability guarantee reliable operation even under adverse conditions.

The 16 amp rated current and 250 volt voltage ensure that most camping, boating, or smaller industrial consumers can operate without issues. The appropriate cable cross-section minimizes voltage drop and the risk of overheating during extended use.

Why is dual CEE distribution advantageous?

Thanks to the two output sockets, you can supply power to two separate consumers from a single connection point. This is a significant advantage in places where the number of available CEE connectors is limited, such as campsites or marinas.

1. No need to acquire another extension cord or distribution box: the dual socket provides immediate expansion.
2. Enables clearer and more organized cabling with fewer connection points.
3. Reduces the chances of contact errors and uncertain connections, as fewer adapters are needed.

Compatibility and connection

The product operates with a standard, blue-coded, 230V CEE connector, making it compatible with most European campsites, marinas, and industrial sites with 16A connectors. The connection process is as follows:

1. Connect the plug to the available CEE socket.
2. Ensure that the connection is stable and the locking tabs fit properly.
3. Connect the consumers to the two sockets, paying attention to the current capacity.
4. Do not exceed the maximum 16A total load.

Load capacity and performance

The 16A CEE system at 230V is theoretically capable of safely transmitting up to approximately 3.6 kW of power. Since the current is split between the two sockets, it is important to consider the following:

• The combined current draw of the two connected devices must not exceed 16A.
• For high-power consumers (e.g., electric heaters, larger compressors), pay special attention to load distribution.
• During continuous operation, always leave an appropriate safety margin below the rated load.

Typical usage examples

• While camping, powering the internal network of a caravan from one socket, and operating a cooler or charger from the other.
• In a marina, connecting the onboard charger to one socket and external lighting or tools to the other.
• In a workshop, operating a power tool from one connector and a battery charger from the other.

Installation and usage tips

The product does not require professional skills to use, but it is advisable to follow some basic electrical safety rules for long-term, trouble-free operation:

• Always connect or disconnect the cable in a de-energized state.
• Never use a damaged, broken, or melted insulated wire.
• Ensure that the connectors do not remain submerged in water or in muddy, contaminated environments.
• Avoid unnecessary tension, pulling, or pinching the wire on sharp edges.
• Occasionally check the tightness of the connectors and the condition of the contacts.

Summary: reliable solution for CEE power distribution

This distribution cable is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a safe, standard, and long-term reliable CEE power distribution. The two sockets flexibly expand the number of available 230V connections while the professional design ensures stable operation and a high level of touch protection in camping, boating, industrial, or workshop environments.
