FAQs

What is the main purpose of this cable?

This cable connects devices with a C13 power input to a power source featuring C13 output sockets, commonly found on UPS and PDU units.

Can I use this cable to plug into a standard wall socket?

No, this cable is not designed for standard wall sockets. It requires a C13 output socket from a UPS or PDU.

What does 'C14 to C13' mean?

It indicates the type of connectors. The C14 is the socket end that plugs into the UPS/PDU, and the C13 is the plug end that connects to your appliance. The C13 plug on this cable is right-angled.

What appliances can I power with this cable?

It's suitable for standard office equipment like PC base units, monitors, printers, and other devices drawing up to 5A.

Is the cable durable?

Yes, it features moulded connectors and VDE approved cable construction, designed for reliability in office and comms room environments.

What is the maximum current this cable can handle?

This cable is rated for 5A.

Why is the C13 plug right-angled?

The right-angled plug is designed to save space and reduce strain in tight installations where the equipment is positioned close to walls or other obstructions.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Ensure the C14 plug is fully seated in the UPS/PDU C13 socket and the C13 plug is securely connected to your appliance. Verify that the UPS/PDU is powered on and functioning correctly.

Intermittent power loss.

Check for loose connections at both ends. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the appliance does not exceed the cable's 5A rating.

Cable does not fit the socket.

Confirm that you are attempting to connect to a C13 socket. This cable uses C14 and C13 connectors, which are specific to certain IT power equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for UPS/PDU connections.
  • Durable moulded connectors for longevity.
  • VDE approved for safety and quality assurance.
  • Right-angled C13 plug can save space in tight environments.
  • Suitable for a range of office and IT equipment.

Cons

  • Not a standard wall plug; requires a C13 socket connection.
  • Limited to 5A, unsuitable for high-power appliances.
  • Right-angled plug may not be ideal for all equipment orientations.
  • Primarily for specific IT infrastructure, not general household use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the IEC C14 socket end into the corresponding C13 port on your UPS or PDU. Connect your appliance (PC, monitor, printer, etc.) to the IEC C13 right-angled plug end. Ensure both connections are firm.

Compatibility: This cable is designed to connect equipment with a C13 input socket to a power source with C13 output sockets (typical of UPS and PDUs). It is *not* designed to plug directly into a standard wall socket.

Care: Keep the cable away from excessive heat, moisture, and sharp objects. Regularly check the connectors for dust or debris and clean with a dry cloth if necessary. Avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable to maintain its integrity.
