FAQs

What is the maximum amperage this cable can handle?

This cable is rated for a maximum of 16 Amps.

What type of connectors does this cable use?

It features a 16 Amp Commando male plug on one end and an IEC C19 female socket on the other.

Can I use this cable with a standard wall socket?

No, this cable is designed for 16 Amp Commando sockets, not standard domestic wall outlets.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 2 meters long.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

While the connectors are robust, the cable is generally intended for indoor use unless specifically rated otherwise. Avoid exposing it to harsh weather conditions.

What does 'BS or VDE Approved Connectors' mean?

This indicates that the connectors used in the cable have met the safety and performance standards set by either the British Standards Institution (BS) or Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), ensuring a level of quality and safety.

Troubleshooting

No power to the connected device.

Ensure the Commando plug is fully inserted into a live 16 Amp socket. Verify the C19 connector is securely plugged into the device. Check that the device itself is powered on and functioning. Test the cable with a different known-working device and socket if possible.

Intermittent power connection.

Check for loose connections at both the plug and the socket ends. Inspect the cable for any visible damage, cuts, or kinks. Ensure the power outlet is not overloaded.

Cable feels excessively warm during use.

This could indicate an overload. Confirm that the connected device's power draw does not exceed the cable's 16 Amp rating. If the device is within rating, the power source may be the issue, or there could be an internal fault in the cable. Discontinue use and investigate.
