Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of connector is the C5?

The C5 connector is a 3-prong female connector, often referred to as a 'cloverleaf' or 'Mickey Mouse' connector, commonly found on laptop power adapters and some other electronic devices.

Is this cable suitable for all laptops?

This cable is suitable for laptops and other devices that specifically use a C5 power input connector and operate within the 2.5A 250V rating. It is not a universal fit for all laptops.

Can I use this cable for my gaming laptop?

This cable is rated for 2.5A. High-performance gaming laptops may require power adapters that draw more current. Please check your gaming laptop's power adapter specifications to ensure it does not exceed the 2.5A rating of this cord.

What is the difference between Connector 1 and Connector 2?

Connector 1 is the BS 1363 (Type G) plug, which is the standard grounded 3-pin plug for UK mains power sockets. Connector 2 is the C5 coupler, which connects to your laptop's power adapter brick.

Is this cable compliant with UK safety standards?

Yes, the cable features a BS 1363 (Type G) UK plug, which is the standard for UK mains power, and is rated for 250V, indicating compliance with relevant safety standards for this type of cable.

Can this cable be used outside the UK?

No, the BS 1363 (Type G) plug is exclusively for use in the UK and other regions that use this plug standard. The C5 connector is international, but the mains plug is region-specific.

Troubleshooting

Laptop not powering on or charging.

Ensure both ends of the power cord are securely connected. Check that the UK mains socket is functional by plugging in another device. Verify that your laptop's power adapter is compatible with the 2.5A 250V rating of this cable.

Cable feels loose at the connector.

Gently ensure the C5 connector is fully seated into the power adapter. If the BS 1363 plug feels loose, check the wall socket. Do not force connections.

Overheating of the cable or connectors.

Disconnect the cable immediately. Overheating can indicate a faulty power adapter, an incompatible device, or a damaged cable. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Replace if any signs of damage are present.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a reliable replacement for lost or damaged laptop power cords.
  • Features a standard UK plug for compatibility with all UK power outlets.
  • The C5 connector is widely used on many laptop brands.
  • Durable construction with strain relief for extended cable life.

Cons

  • Limited to devices with a C5 power input.
  • 1-meter length may be too short for some desk setups.
  • Not suitable for high-power equipment exceeding the 2.5A rating.
  • Color may not match all laptop power bricks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your laptop or device has a C5 power input (often described as a cloverleaf or 'Mickey Mouse' connector).
  2. Plug the BS 1363 (Type G) UK power plug firmly into a grounded UK mains socket.
  3. Connect the C5 coupler end to your laptop's power adapter brick.
  4. Power on your device as usual.

Compatibility:

  • Connector 1: BS 1363 (Type G) UK Power Plug (Male).
  • Connector 2: C5 Coupler (Female).
  • Voltage/Current Rating: Rated for 250V at 2.5A, suitable for most standard laptop power adapters. Always check your device's power adapter specifications to ensure compatibility.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Do not bend the cable sharply at the connectors; use the molded strain relief to prevent damage.
  • Periodically inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Clean the exterior of the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Do not use harsh cleaning agents.
