THE THINKING BEHIND THE EQUIPMENT

Quality lives
in the details.

The material, the connection, the protection and the evidence behind every specification all matter.

CONSTRUCTION / ENDURANCE / STANDARDSSCROLL TO EXPLORE

01 / ENGINEERING MINDSET

Confidence starts
beneath the surface.

EV charging equipment is handled, connected, coiled, stored and exposed to the elements again and again. We consider the whole experience, from contact materials and cable flexibility to the way a connector feels in the hand.

Our product pages describe the proposed range. Exact ratings, test results and conformity documents are tied to a specific model and market; our team can provide the current documentation for the product you are considering.

02 / CONSTRUCTION

Designed from
the inside out.

Our Type 2 cable specification focuses on sound electrical materials, considered handling and durability where it counts.

01

Silver-plated contacts

The proposed contact specification uses silver plating over conductive metal terminals. A 5 μm plating thickness is a supplier specification to verify against the final model's report.

02

Pure copper conductors

Conductors are specified in copper, with insulation layers selected for the cable's electrical duty and repeated everyday handling.

03

Protective outer jacket

A robust TPU outer sheath is specified to help resist abrasion, flexing and outdoor wear. Final material and temperature ratings belong to the model datasheet.

04

Ergonomic housing

A sculpted grip, reinforced strain relief and a shaped connector housing support comfortable use and reduce stress at the cable entry.

Construction details describe the intended cable specification. Confirmed materials and dimensions may vary by final model.

03 / ENDURANCE

Made for the
many journeys.

Longevity is about the whole assembly: the fit of the contacts, a housing that protects them, a cable that bends without undue strain and storage that keeps the kit organised.

04 / REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS

The road does not
wait for perfect weather.

Sun, rain, road dust and cold mornings are part of an electric journey. The right materials and verified enclosure ratings help equipment meet the conditions it is designed for.

Long, bright days

Jacket selection and housing materials matter where a cable is handled and stored in warm, sunlit conditions.

Changing weather

Ingress protection is configuration-specific. A connected connector and an unplugged connector may have different ratings.

Everyday exposure

Keep contact faces clean and dry before use, and store the cable in its bag when the journey is done.

Cooler starts

Flexibility and operating temperature should be assessed against the exact cable construction and model datasheet.

Images illustrate environments; they are not test results. Ask for the final product's IP rating and temperature range, including the mated or unmated condition.

05 / PROTECTION

The right safeguard
in the right place.

TYPE 2 CHARGING CABLE

Built to connect

The passive cable relies on its rated conductors, insulation, contacts and connector housing. Charging current and fault response are governed by the vehicle, charging station and electrical installation; the cable itself is not an active overvoltage or short-circuit controller.

PORTABLE CHARGING · IN DEVELOPMENT

Protection by design

For the planned portable range, the design brief includes monitoring and response for overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature and short-circuit faults. Final functions, ratings and approvals will be published with the released model.

Portable range

06 / STANDARDS & DOCUMENTATION

Evidence behind
the specification.

Different marks, standards and declarations serve different purposes. We assess what applies to the exact product and destination market.

CONNECTOR INTERFACE

IEC 62196 / AS/NZS 62196

Relevant parts cover EV plugs, connectors and Type 2 interface dimensions. The applicable edition and test evidence depend on the connector model.

CHARGING EQUIPMENT

IEC 61851-1

General requirements for EV supply equipment are relevant to applicable charging products, including the portable range as it develops.

AUSTRALIAN MARKET

RCM & EESS

Australian supply involves the responsible supplier, applicable equipment classification, evidence of compliance and Regulatory Compliance Mark obligations.

OTHER MARKETS & MATERIALS

CE · UKCA · RoHS · REACH · TÜV

These are distinct declarations, rules or third-party assessment routes. Their relevance and status must be verified for each model and market.

A PRACTICAL DOCUMENT CHECK

Match the paperwork to the product.

  1. Identify the modelUse the exact product code and cable length.
  2. Check the scopeConfirm standard edition, test configuration and intended market.
  3. Review the evidenceAsk for declarations, reports and any applicable certificates.
  4. Check the markingMatch the product label and packaging to the supporting documents.

NEED THE DOCUMENTS?

Ask for the exact model.

Send us the product code, intended market and the documents you require. We can discuss the available datasheet, declarations and test evidence for that model. A mark shown in concept imagery is not proof of an issued approval.
