FAQs

What is the primary use of this Kenable power extension cable?

This cable is primarily used to extend an existing IEC power cord or to connect a device with an IEC power input to a UPS.

What type of connectors does this cable have?

It features a C14 male coupler on one end and a C13 female coupler on the other.

Is this cable suitable for high-power appliances?

The cable is rated for 10A (using 1.0mm² copper cores), making it suitable for standard computer equipment and office devices. It is not recommended for high-power appliances that exceed this rating.

Can I use this cable to connect my PC to a monitor?

Yes, if both your PC's power supply and your monitor use standard IEC power connections (C13 female socket), this cable can be used to extend the connection from the power source to either device.

What does 'VDE Approved' mean?

'VDE Approved' signifies that the cable has undergone rigorous testing and meets the safety standards set by the VDE Institute, a respected certification organization in Europe.

How long is the cable?

The cable has a length of 1.8 meters.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should not be exposed to moisture or harsh environmental conditions.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on after connecting the cable.

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Check that the power source is active and functional. Ensure the device's original power cord is properly connected to the extension cable.

Cable feels warm during use.

If the cable is only slightly warm, it may be normal. However, if it becomes excessively hot, unplug the device immediately. This could indicate the device is drawing more power than the cable is rated for (over 10A) or a faulty connection. Check device power consumption and inspect the cable for damage.

Loose connection at either end.

Ensure connectors are fully inserted. If the connection remains loose, the connector may be damaged. Inspect for bent pins or damage to the socket/coupler. Replace the cable if the connection is not secure.
