Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is an IEC C13 connector?
An IEC C13 connector is a standard 3-pin connector commonly found on the power input of many desktop computers, monitors, printers, and other electronic devices.
Is this cable suitable for high-power devices like a gaming PC or large printer?
This cable features a 5A fuse in the UK plug and a 10A rated IEC connector. While suitable for most standard PCs and printers, very high-power devices might exceed these ratings. Always check the power requirements of your specific device.
What does '5A fused cable' mean?
It means the UK plug contains a 5 Amp fuse. This acts as a safety device, blowing and cutting off power if the connected device draws too much current, protecting both the device and the electrical circuit.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information for details on this product, as warranty periods can vary.
Can I use this cable in other countries?
No, this cable has a UK-style 13A plug and is designed for use with 240V UK mains power sockets only.
How do I know if my device uses an IEC C13 connector?
Look at the power input port on your device. An IEC C13 port is typically a C-shaped female connector. If your device came with a power cable that has a 'kettle plug' style connector, it likely uses IEC C13.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Ensure both the UK plug and the IEC connector are fully inserted into their respective sockets. Check that the wall socket is live and test with another device if possible. Verify the fuse in the UK plug is intact and replace if necessary.
Cable feels warm during use
This cable is rated for standard use. If the cable becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect the device and check its power draw against the cable's rating (5A fuse, 10A IEC). Overloading may have occurred; consult the device's manual or a qualified electrician.
Loose connection at the device
Gently ensure the IEC C13 connector is pushed fully into the device's power port. If the port itself is damaged, the device may require professional repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the standard UK 13A fused end into a suitable wall socket or power strip. Connect the IEC C13 end to the corresponding power input on your device (e.g., PC, printer, monitor). Ensure all connections are firm and secure.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard IEC C13 power socket and requires connection to a 240V UK mains power source. It is suitable for devices rated up to 10A at the IEC end, with the UK plug providing a 5A fuse rating.
Care: To care for your Kenable power cable, avoid kinking or damaging the cable insulation. Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Do not use the cable if it appears damaged. Periodically check connections for security. Store in a dry environment.
