This Kenable Black Power Cable is designed for reliably powering standard UK desktop PCs, printers, and a variety of other equipment. Its key benefit is providing a secure and compliant connection with its 10A rated UK plug and C13 IEC connector. A potential caveat is its 0.75mm2 rating, which is suitable for standard 240V applications but might not be ideal for very high-power or extended-use scenarios without careful consideration. It offers British Standards approval (BS-1363/A) for peace of mind.

This cable is ideal for devices that have a C13 power input socket, such as most desktop PC towers, monitors, laser printers, and some audio-visual equipment. It features a standard UK plug for mains connection.
Yes, the cable is British Standards Approved (BS-1363/A) and features a 10A rated moulded UK plug, making it safe and compliant for use with 240V mains power in the UK.
This refers to the cross-sectional area of the conductors within the cable. A 0.75mm² rating is suitable for general power delivery at 240V for most standard electronics like PCs and printers.
While the cable is rated for 10A, it is primarily intended for typical office equipment. For appliances with significantly higher continuous power draw, a cable with a larger conductor size (e.g., 1.0mm² or 1.5mm²) may be more appropriate to prevent overheating.
A C13 connector is the standard 'kettle lead' type connector, typically found on larger devices like PCs and printers. A C5 connector (often called a 'Mickey Mouse' plug) is smaller and usually found on laptop power adapters or small projectors.
The exact length is not specified in the product information, but these are typically available in standard lengths such as 1m, 2m, or 3m. Please check the specific product listing for the exact length.
Ensure the UK plug is firmly seated in the wall socket and the C13 connector is fully inserted into the device. Test the socket with another appliance. Check if the device's power switch is in the 'on' position.
Inspect the cable for any kinks, cuts, or damage, especially near the connectors. Ensure both the UK plug and C13 connector are making a secure connection. If damage is visible, replace the cable.
Slight warmth can be normal under load, but excessive heat may indicate the cable is undersized for the device's power draw or there's a poor connection. Ensure the device is within the 10A rating and check connections. If concerns persist, consult the device manufacturer or consider a heavier gauge cable if appropriate for the device.
