Is this connector waterproof?
It is not rated as waterproof. It should be used in dry, indoor, or covered environments.
Does it come with instructions for wiring?
Standard 3-pin wiring (Live, Neutral, Earth) applies. If you are not familiar with electrical wiring, please consult a qualified professional.
What gauge of wire does this connector accept?
It is designed to fit standard 3-core flexible cables commonly used in 10A rated domestic extensions.
Why is the connector orange?

Troubleshooting
Power is intermittent or flickering
Check that the internal wire screws are tightened sufficiently and that there is no fraying at the connection points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety, always turn off the main power supply before connecting or disconnecting the Status Flex Connector. Ensure the wires are stripped to the appropriate length and securely fastened within the terminals to prevent overheating.

For maintenance, keep the connection point clean of dust and debris, and periodically inspect the outer housing for cracks or signs of thermal damage. Do not leave the connector submerged in liquid or exposed to harsh weather conditions.
