The product is not protected against moisture although it is recommended for outdoor use. The cable could overheat, leading to burns or fire. The water could penetrate the product or the user could touch accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.
