Cable Construction & Durability
The H07BQ-F cable is specifically chosen for its exceptional durability and performance in challenging environments. Its polyurethane (PUR) outer sheath provides superior resistance to mechanical stress, including tears, cuts, and abrasion. This robust construction also makes it highly resistant to oils, fats, chemicals, and UV radiation, ensuring long-term reliability for continuous outdoor use.
With a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C, the Victron Shore Power Cord maintains flexibility and integrity even in extreme weather conditions. The 3x 2.50mm² copper conductors are sized to support the full 16A rated current with minimal voltage drop over the 25-metre length, crucial for sensitive onboard equipment.
Typical Applications
| Application Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Marine Vessels | Connecting boats, yachts, and other marine craft to shore power in marinas. |
| Recreational Vehicles (RVs) | Providing mains power to motorhomes, caravans, and campervans at campsites. |
| Temporary Power Setups | Ideal for construction sites, outdoor events, and temporary industrial power distribution. |
| Off-Grid Systems | As a robust connection for backup or supplemental AC power in off-grid installations. |

Common Questions
What is the purpose of an H07BQ-F cable?
H07BQ-F cables are heavy-duty, flexible cables with a polyurethane (PUR) outer sheath. They are designed for use in harsh environments where resistance to mechanical stress, abrasion, oils, and chemicals is required, making them ideal for marine and industrial applications.
Are IEC 60309 connectors standard in the UK and Europe?
Yes, IEC 60309 connectors (often called CEEform or 'commando' plugs) are a widely used international standard for industrial and high-current applications, including shore power connections in marinas and campsites across the UK and Europe.
What does the IP56 rating signify?
An IP56 rating indicates that the cable and connectors are protected against dust ingress sufficient to prevent interference with operation (level 5) and against powerful jets of water from any direction (level 6). This makes it highly suitable for outdoor and marine environments.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Victron Energy offers a standard 5-year warranty on its power products, including this shore power cord, providing peace of mind for your investment.
Installation Notes
- Ensure the shore power pedestal and your vessel's inlet are compatible with IEC 60309 16A 250VAC 3-pole connectors.
- Always connect the shore power cord to the vessel/vehicle inlet first, then to the shore power pedestal. Disconnect in reverse order.
- Visually inspect the cable and connectors for any damage before each use. Do not use if damaged.
- Avoid kinking or crushing the cable, and ensure it is not a tripping hazard.
- For permanent installations or complex systems, consult a qualified electrician or marine electrical specialist.
Before You Buy
- Verify your vessel's or vehicle's AC inlet specifications match the 16A / 250VAC rating and IEC 60309 3-pole connector type of this cable.
- Confirm the required cable length for your typical berthing or parking situations. This cable is 25 metres.
- Consider the environmental conditions where the cable will be used; the H07BQ-F type and IP56 rating are suitable for demanding outdoor and marine environments.
