Product Information

Full details

This kenable 001853 power cord is designed for users in the United Kingdom needing to consolidate multiple power connections, particularly for devices with IEC C13 and Figure 8 (C7) sockets. Its key benefit is significantly reducing cable clutter by combining three power leads into one, while also offering surge protection. A potential caveat is its specific UK plug type, limiting its use to regions with compatible outlets.

FAQs

What type of devices can I connect to this power cord?

You can connect devices that have a standard IEC C13 power socket (like most computer monitors, desktop PCs, printers) and devices with a Figure 8 (C7) power socket (like some audio equipment, routers, or older game consoles).

Is this cable suitable for use outside the UK?

No, this cable features a UK 13A Type G plug and is designed exclusively for use within the United Kingdom and other countries with compatible Type G sockets.

What does surge protection mean for my devices?

The surge protection helps to safeguard your connected electronics from sudden spikes in voltage. It has a surge current rating of 18000A and a fast response time of 1ns.

How does this cable help reduce clutter?

It consolidates the power needs of up to three devices (two with IEC C13 plugs and one with a Figure 8 plug) into a single cable, eliminating the need for multiple power adapters or a power strip.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

The cable has a current rating of 13A and a voltage rating of 230V AC, suitable for most standard electronic devices within these limits.

Can I use this with a power strip?

While you can plug this cable into a power strip, its primary purpose is to reduce the need for one by consolidating multiple device connections into a single plug.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Verify the UK mains plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Check that the wall socket is functioning by testing it with another device. Ensure the connected devices are switched on and their power cords are securely plugged into the cable's IEC or Figure 8 sockets.

Intermittent power loss

Check all connections for looseness. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the 13A rating.

Overheating of the cable or plug

Immediately disconnect the cable from the power source. This indicates an overload. Ensure the total power draw is within the 13A limit and that connected devices are functioning correctly. Do not use the cable if overheating persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces cable clutter by combining three leads.
  • Integrated surge protection for connected devices.
  • Standard UK 13A plug for easy use.
  • Durable H05VV-F cable construction.
  • Adequate 2.3m length for most applications.

Cons

  • Specific to UK power outlets.
  • Connector types are fixed (2x IEC C13, 1x Figure 8 C7).
  • Cable is angled at the UK plug end, which might not suit all socket placements.
  • Weight of 440g is moderate for a power cord.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the UK 13A mains plug into a compatible wall socket. Connect your devices to the two IEC C13 sockets and the single Figure 8 (C7) socket. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 13A rating.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for use with devices that feature a standard IEC C13 power input (common on PCs, monitors, printers) and a Figure 8 (C7) power input (common on audio equipment, some older TVs, routers). It is exclusively for use within the United Kingdom due to the Type G plug.

Care: Keep the cable and connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid excessive bending or kinking the cable. Ensure connections are secure. Disconnect from the mains power before cleaning. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; do not use solvents.
