FAQs

What type of connector does this cable use for the device end?

This cable uses a standard IEC (often referred to as a kettle-like) connector, specifically the C13/C14 type, which is common on PCs, monitors, and printers.

Is this cable safe for use with my UK mains socket?

Yes, the cable features a 13A fused UK plug (BS1363/A approved), making it safe and compliant for use with standard UK mains power outlets.

Can I use this cable for a high-power appliance like a heater?

This cable is rated for 13A, which is suitable for most standard office and home electronics like PCs and monitors. For appliances with significantly higher power draws (e.g., some heaters or kettles), always check the appliance's power requirements and use a cable specifically rated for that load.

What does 'Right Angled IEC' mean?

The IEC connector on the device end of the cable is angled at 90 degrees. This allows the cable to plug into the device and then bend away parallel to the surface, which is useful for saving space behind equipment or preventing sharp bends.

What is the rating of the fuse in the UK plug?

The UK plug is fitted with a 13A fuse, providing protection against overcurrent for connected devices.

Does the 10m length affect performance?

For standard power delivery, the 10m length does not typically affect performance within its rated capacity. However, very long cables can have slightly increased resistance, which is generally negligible for typical use cases with this type of power cord.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Ensure the UK plug is firmly seated in a working mains socket. Verify the IEC connector is fully plugged into the device. Check if the fuse in the UK plug has blown; if so, it may require replacement by a qualified person or replacement of the cable.

Intermittent power loss

Check for loose connections at both the mains socket and the device's IEC port. Inspect the cable for any visible damage or kinks that might be causing internal breaks. Ensure the cable is not overloaded by the connected device.

Cable feels unusually warm

Immediately disconnect the cable and device. This could indicate an overload or a fault. Check the power requirements of your device and compare them to the cable's 13A rating. If the device is within rating, the cable may be faulty and should be replaced.
