Type 2 Tethered Cable
Iec 62196-2 (Mennekes, Type 2) European Standard
BESEN Type 2 Tethered Charging Cable is designed specifically for electric vehicles equipped with IEC 62196-2 (Type 2) charging ports. This high-quality cable features a female type 2 connector on one end for secure attachment to the vehicle, while the opposite end is unterminated, making it versatile for installation by business owners or homeowners on their charging stations.
This type 2 charging cable allows for a seamless, reliable connection to the station, ideal for both residential and commercial charging environments.
What is a Tethered Type 2 Cable?
A tethered Type 2 cable refers to a cable that’s permanently attached to an EV wall charger. Unlike untethered chargers that require drivers to use a separate cable, tethered chargers offer a “plug-and-play” experience—just grab the cable and plug it into your vehicle. Tethered Type 2 chargers are particularly popular among homeowners who prefer the convenience of having a cable ready to go.
This setup is ideal for personal garages and home charging stations, where the charger will primarily be used with one or two vehicles. Public stations also use tethered Type 2 chargers for added convenience and faster setup, making them accessible to a broader audience.

Why Choose a Type 2 Tethered Cable? (4)
-
Tethered cables eliminate the setup time required to plug a detachable cable into both the car and charging station, making it quicker for daily charging.
-
Since the cable is permanently attached to the station, it reduces wear and tear that might occur from constant connection and disconnection.
-
Tethered cables are often more secure and have been engineered with locking mechanisms to prevent accidental removal while charging.
-
With a tethered setup, EV owners can simply plug the cable into the car without worrying about getting out a separate cable or misplacing it.
The main advantage of a Type 2 Tethered Cable is convenience. The cable is permanently attached to the charging station, allowing for easy plug-and-play charging without needing to handle a separate cable. This setup saves time, reduces wear on the connectors, and minimizes the risk of losing or misplacing the cable.
Most electric vehicles that comply with the Type 2 standard in Europe can use a Type 2 Tethered Cable. However, you should always confirm compatibility with your EV model.
The maximum charging speed for a Type 2 Tethered Cable is usually up to 22 kW for AC charging. However, the actual speed also depends on the EV’s onboard charger capacity and the power rating of the charging station.
Yes, BESEN Type 2 Tethered Cables are designed to be weather-resistant and can be used safely in rain.
No, Type 2 Tethered Cables are intended for AC charging. For DC fast charging, most EVs use CCS (Combined Charging System) connectors, which provide much faster charging rates but are not compatible with the Type 2 connector.
