FAQs

Is this cable suitable for use outside the UK?

No, this cable is specifically designed and certified for use within the United Kingdom's 240V electrical system. Using it in regions with different voltage standards or plug types can be dangerous and may damage your equipment.

What type of devices can I power with this cable?

This cable is suitable for a wide range of electronic devices that use a C13 power inlet, commonly found on desktop PCs, monitors, printers, and some audio-visual equipment. It is rated for up to 13A, supporting most standard household and office equipment.

What is the benefit of the right-angled IEC connector?

The right-angled IEC (C13) connector allows the cable to plug into a device with minimal protrusion. This is ideal for tight spaces, such as behind furniture or within densely packed AV cabinets, preventing the cable from bending sharply and reducing strain.

How long is the warranty for this power cord?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details on the warranty period and coverage for this product.

Can I use this cable with a laptop?

It depends on your laptop's power adapter. If your laptop's power brick has a standard C13 power input port (often found on larger or docking station power supplies), then yes, you can use this cable. Many smaller laptop power adapters use a different connector type.

What does '3 x 3G 1.00mm²' mean?

'3G' indicates that the cable contains three conductors (live, neutral, and earth). '1.00mm²' refers to the cross-sectional area of each conductor, indicating a robust gauge suitable for the 13A rating and 240V operation.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on after connecting the cable.

Verify that both the UK plug and the C13 coupler are securely inserted into their respective sockets. Check that the wall socket is functioning by testing it with another appliance. Ensure the device itself is powered on and operational.

Cable feels warm during use.

A slight warmth may be normal for high-power devices. However, if the cable becomes excessively hot to the touch, immediately unplug it. This could indicate a fault with the cable, the connected device, or an overloaded circuit. Discontinue use and consult a qualified electrician or replace the cable.

Intermittent power or connection issues.

Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the connectors are clean and free from dust or debris. Try plugging the cable into a different wall socket and device port to rule out issues with those specific points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended 15m reach for flexible placement of devices.
  • Right-angled connectors are space-efficient and reduce strain.
  • Fully certified for UK use (BS1363/A) with a 13A fuse for safety.
  • Suitable for a wide range of electronic equipment including PCs and printers.
  • Durable construction with quality materials for longevity.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for UK 240V systems; not suitable for other regions without adapters.
  • The 15m length may be excessive for very short-distance requirements, potentially leading to cable clutter.
  • Weight of 1.21 kg may be a consideration for portable setups.
  • Specific connector types (Type G and C13) limit compatibility to devices with corresponding sockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power cable is fully unplugged from both the power source and the intended device.
  2. Connect the Type G UK Plug end into a suitable 240V mains socket.
  3. Connect the Right-Angled C13 Coupler end to the power input port of your equipment (e.g., PC, printer, monitor).
  4. Ensure both connections are firm and secure.
  5. Plug the UK mains plug into the wall socket.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: This cable is designed for 240V systems.
  • Plug Type: Features a standard UK 3-pin plug (Type G).
  • Device Input: Compatible with devices requiring a C13 (kettle-like) power connector.
  • Location: Specifically intended for use in the United Kingdom.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of damage (fraying, cuts, bent pins).
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can damage the internal wiring.
  • Keep the cable away from excessive heat, moisture, and corrosive substances.
  • To clean, unplug the cable from all power sources and wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
