Product Information

Full details

This Kenable power cable is designed for connecting equipment with a C13 (kettle lead) input to European Schuko power outlets. It's ideal for a variety of applications, including professional audio gear, PCs, and home electronics that require a grounded Europlug connection. A key benefit is its right-angle Schuko plug, which allows for closer placement of devices to walls. The primary caveat is its specific design for 10A European use, meaning it's not suitable for all regions or higher amperage devices.

FAQs

What type of plug does this cable use for wall outlets?

This cable uses a European Schuko (Type F) plug, designed for standard grounded outlets in most of Europe.

Can I use this cable in the UK or USA?

No, this cable is specifically designed for European outlets (Schuko). You will need a different cable with the appropriate plug type for the UK (Type G) or USA (Type A/B).

What is the maximum amperage this cable can handle?

The cable is rated for a maximum of 10 Amps.

What does 'C13 IEC Plug' mean?

The C13 is the female connector type found on the power cable that plugs into many electronic devices like computers, monitors, and printers. IEC refers to the International Electrotechnical Commission standard.

Why is the Schuko plug angled?

The right-angle design allows for the connected equipment or furniture to be placed closer to the wall, saving space and creating a tidier setup.

Is this cable suitable for high-power equipment like industrial machinery?

No, this cable is rated for 10A and is intended for typical consumer and professional audio/PC equipment. High-power industrial machinery may require cables with higher amperage ratings.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Ensure both the Schuko plug is securely inserted into a working European outlet and the C13 plug is fully connected to the device. Test with a different known-working device if possible.

Loose connection at the C13 port

Gently check the C13 connector for any debris or damage. Ensure the device's C13 port is not obstructed. If the connection remains loose, the cable or device port may be damaged.

Cable feels warm during use

A slight warmth is normal for power cables under load. However, if the cable becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect the device and the power cable. Check if the device's power draw exceeds the cable's 10A rating or if the cable is damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the device requiring power has a C13 inlet port.
  2. Verify that your power outlet is a European Schuko (Type F) socket.
  3. Plug the Schuko end of the cable into the wall socket or power strip.
  4. Plug the C13 end into the power input port of your device.
  5. Confirm the device powers on correctly.

Compatibility:

  • Input Plug: Compatible with European Type F (Schuko) outlets. Rated for 10 Amps (230V).
  • Output Connector: Compatible with all devices featuring a standard C13 power inlet.
  • Not Compatible With: UK (Type G), US (Type A/B), or other non-Schuko outlets. Devices requiring more than 10A.

Care:

  • Keep the cable clean and free from dust using a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Do not bend the cable sharply, especially near the molded plugs, to prevent internal damage.
  • Ensure plugs are fully inserted into both the wall socket and the device.
  • Store the cable away from extreme heat or moisture when not in use.
