Product Information

Full details

This Kenable power adapter cable is designed for users who need to convert an IEC C13 (kettle lead) connection to a C7 Figure of Eight plug. Its key benefit is providing a simple solution for connecting devices with different power input types. A critical caveat is that this cable *cannot* be used to convert from a Figure of Eight source to an IEC device.

FAQs

What is the primary use of this adapter cable?

This adapter is used to convert a standard IEC C13 (kettle lead) female connection to a C7 Figure of Eight male plug. It's useful for connecting devices with a C7 power input to a power source that uses an IEC C13 cable.

Can I use this to connect a Figure of Eight power source to a device that needs a kettle lead?

No, absolutely not. This cable is strictly for converting *from* an IEC C13 connection *to* a C7 Figure of Eight plug. It cannot be used in the reverse direction.

What does 'IEC C13' and 'C7 Figure of Eight' refer to?

IEC C13 is the standard connector found on most computer power cables (often called a kettle lead). A C7 Figure of Eight plug is a smaller, two-pin connector found on various smaller electronics like some audio equipment or older TV sets.

What are the conductor sizes in this cable?

The cable uses 2 x 0.75mm² conductors, which are suitable for standard power delivery needs.

Is this adapter suitable for high-power devices?

While the cable uses 0.75mm² conductors, it's essential to ensure the original IEC C13 power source and the target device's power requirements are compatible. It is not intended for very high-power applications without verification.

How should I care for this adapter cable?

Keep the adapter in a clean, dry place. Ensure connections are clean and secure. Avoid bending the cable sharply or exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on after connection

Ensure both ends of the adapter are securely plugged in. Verify that the original IEC C13 power lead is functional and receiving power. Confirm that the target device's power input is indeed a C7 Figure of Eight socket and that this adapter is the correct conversion type for your setup.

Intermittent power or performance issues

Check for loose connections at both the adapter and the power source/device. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the power rating of the source is adequate for the connected device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates conversion between common power plug types (C13 to C7).
  • Uses robust 0.75mm² conductors for secure power delivery.
  • Simple and straightforward to use.
  • Compact and unobtrusive design.

Cons

  • One-way conversion only (C13 female to C7 male).
  • Not suitable for converting Figure of Eight sources to IEC devices.
  • Specific compatibility required; will not work for all power needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the IEC C14 female connector into your existing IEC C13 power lead. Then, connect the C7 male plug into the compatible power input socket on your target device.

Compatibility: This adapter is designed strictly for converting an IEC C13 (kettle lead) female connection to a C7 Figure of Eight male plug. It is *not* compatible for use in the reverse direction (C7 source to C13 device).

Care: Keep the adapter in a dry environment. Clean the connectors occasionally with a dry cloth to ensure a good electrical connection. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat or moisture.
