For consistent branding of your charging stations, we can also manufacture our charging connectors with your logo on request:

  • Either stamped
  • Or as a UV- and weather-resistant plastic label

Complete your branding by prominently displaying your logo on our black transport bag for mobile type 2 charging cables.

Customer-specific assembly of an AC charging cable

On request, we can assemble the cable end of your charging cable to suit the mounting requirements of your charging station:

  • Flexible stripping length
  • Custom step cut
  • Crimped with ferrules
  • Crimped with cable ring lugs
  • Compacted using ultrasonic welding technology

Our portfolio includes metric and AWG cables in various lengths and conductor cross-sections as well as in straight and spiraled versions. If your preferred combination is not available, then we can also design and manufacture a customer-specific item for you.

Electric car being charged in a carport at an AC home charger with a permanently attached charging cable

Our stationary type 2 charging cables with a free cable end are ideal for mounting on AC home chargers for private use, e.g., in a carport or garage.

These charging cables only have a charging connector on the vehicle side. This makes handling much easier for electric car drivers, as the charging cable only needs to be connected to the vehicle charging inlet – unlike home chargers with a charging socket, where the cable must additionally be connected to the home charger.

Electric car charging at a public charging station via a mobile mode 3 charging cable

Most public charging stations are equipped with a charging socket instead of a permanently attached charging cable, as this is less susceptible to vandalism and requires less frequent maintenance.

To connect and charge a vehicle here, our mobile type 2 charging cables are the ideal solution. They feature both a vehicle charging connector and an infrastructure charging plug, and are usually transported in the trunk of the electric car.
