Precision Power for Destination Charging
The Efficient Bridge to Fast Charging
While ultra-high-power cables are necessary for highway hubs, most destination charging—like hotels, workplaces, and retail centers—benefit from the efficiency of 40A to 80A DC power. Our CCS1 DC charging cable series provides the perfect balance of manageable cable diameter and rapid power delivery, ensuring ease of use for all EV drivers.
Built with Engineering Expertise
In DC charging, even at lower amperages, thermal integrity is the key to longevity. We apply high-power engineering principles to our entire range:
-
Silver-Plated Contact Pins: We use silver-plated copper alloy for all power terminals. This ensures superior conductivity and prevents the oxidation-related heat buildup that can occur with standard nickel-plated alternatives.
-
Real-Time Thermal Monitoring: Every cable is equipped with integrated temperature sensors (NTC or PT1000). This allows your charging station to monitor the connection 24/7 and throttle current if a fault or external heat source is detected, ensuring total user safety.
-
High-Spec TPU Insulation: Our cables feature a high-performance TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) jacket. TPU provides superior resistance to UV rays, ozone, and mechanical abrasion compared to PVC, and it remains flexible in freezing temperatures down to -30°C.
-
Reliable Mechanical Life: Designed for heavy daily use, the connector is rated for over 10,000 mating cycles, featuring a high-strength thermoplastic shell that meets IK10 impact resistance standards.

🛠️ Selection & Compatibility Guide
Which amperage fits your project?
-
40A – 65A: Ideal for 20kW–30kW DC wallboxes. These are popular for residential upgrades and “park and shop” locations.
-
80A: The professional choice for 40kW–60kW DC chargers, providing a significant speed boost for fleet vans and work trucks.
Compatible with all CCS1-equipped vehicles, including Ford, GM, Rivian, BMW, and Hyundai models (North American Spec).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this for home charging?
A: Yes, if you have a DC home charging station. This is a DC cable and cannot be plugged into a standard AC J1772 wallbox.
Q: Why choose TPU over PVC for the cable jacket?
A: TPU is an “industrial grade” material. It doesn’t stiffen in winter, it’s harder to puncture, and it lasts significantly longer in outdoor sunlight, which increases the Trustworthiness of your charging site.
Q: Are these cables UL listed?
A: Our cables are manufactured using UL-recognized components and are built in compliance with UL 2251 and SAE J1772 standards.
