Shore power cables and sockets are essential components for powering boats while docked. These systems allow you to connect your boat to the shore's electrical grid, ensuring reliable power for onboard systems.

Features of the Shore Cables

• Weather Resistance : Cables are designed to withstand sun, rain, salt spray and extreme temperatures.
• Water protection (IP56 - IP67) : essential to prevent short circuits and ensure safety.
• Tinned copper conductors : to reduce corrosion and improve conductivity.
• Rubber or PVC insulation : for greater durability and flexibility.
• Variable length : usually from 10 to 25 metres, but longer models also exist.

Types of Shore Power Sockets

• CEE sockets (220V - 16A/32A/63A) : standard for most pleasure boats.
• Industrial sockets : Used for yachts and boats with higher power requirements.
• Sockets with thermal and magnetic protection : to avoid overloads and short circuits.
• Models with status LED : to indicate the presence of voltage.

These cables and sockets are essential for keeping the batteries charged and powering the electrical systems on board without having to use the generator.
