Full details
This GEMBIRD Power Cord is designed for IT professionals and home users who need a reliable connection between their UPS or PDU units and devices with a Schuko plug. Its key benefit is providing a stable power adapter connection with a C14 input and Schuko output. A caveat is its very short length, limiting placement options. This power cord features a male IEC C14 connector on one end and a female Schuko plug on the other, with a wire profile of 0.75 sq.mm and a 10A rating.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this cable?
This cable is designed to connect devices with a Schuko power plug to UPS or PDU units that have an IEC C14 input port, acting as a short adapter.
What is the length of the cable?
The cable is 0.15 meters (approximately 6 inches) long.
What is the maximum power this cable can handle?
The cable has a 10A rating, suitable for loads up to 2300W at 230V.
Can I use this cable with any computer power supply?
This cable is specifically for connecting a Schuko female plug to a C14 male input. Most standard computer power supplies have a C13 female input, not a C14 male output. This cable is for the opposite connection.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is intended for indoor use in dry environments. It is not rated for outdoor conditions.
What type of connector is on the device side?
The cable has a female Schuko plug on the end that connects to your device.
Troubleshooting
Device not receiving power
Ensure the C14 connector is fully seated in the UPS/PDU and the Schuko plug is securely connected to the device. Verify that the UPS/PDU is powered on and supplying power.
Loose connection at either end
Check for any debris or damage in the ports or on the connectors. Gently wiggle the plug to ensure a firm connection; if the issue persists, the cable may be damaged.
Overheating or sparking
Immediately disconnect the power cord. This indicates a potential overload or internal fault. Do not use the cable if this occurs; replace it with a new, appropriately rated cable.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a direct link between C14 power sources and Schuko devices.
- Compact size is ideal for close-proximity connections.
- Supports standard 10A loads, suitable for most common electronics.
- Offers a simple plug-and-play solution for power adapter needs.
Cons
- Extremely short length may restrict placement of connected devices.
- Not suitable for extending power to devices located far from the power source.
- Limited to Schuko and C14 connections, lacks universal compatibility.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the IEC C14 male connector into the corresponding C14 port on your UPS or PDU. Then, plug your device's Schuko power cable into the female Schuko socket on this adapter cord.
Compatibility: This cable is designed for devices with a standard Schuko power plug and UPS/PDU units with an IEC C14 input port. It is not compatible with North American outlets or IEC C13 connectors.
Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage. Store in a dry environment.
