2.7.4 Connection and choice of cables
For all connections, use flexible, strong rubber-sheathed cables which comply with standard IEC 60245-4 or equivalent cables, and
ensure that these are kept in perfect condition. Only use one item of class I electrical equipment per socket and connect up
equipment using a cable equipped with a PE protective conductor (green/yellow); this protective conductor is not required for
class II equipment. Adhere to the cross sections and lengths recommended in this table during installation or when using electrical
extensions.
