FAQs
What is an IEC C14 plug?
An IEC C14 plug is a type of electrical connector commonly found on the power supplies of computers, monitors, servers, and other IT equipment. It mates with an IEC C13 socket.
Can I use this extension lead in the USA (120V)?
No, this extension lead is designed for a 240V AC supply voltage and is not suitable for use in regions operating on 110V or 120V power.
Does this lead provide surge protection?
No, this product is a basic mains extension lead and does not include surge protection or power filtering capabilities.
How many devices can I plug into this extension lead?
You can plug up to four devices into the extension lead. However, ensure the total power draw of all connected devices does not exceed the capacity of the IEC C14 input and the power supply unit it is connected to.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information for details on the warranty period for this Pro-Elec product.
Can I connect high-power devices like heaters to this lead?
It is not recommended to connect high-power devices that draw significant current, such as heaters or kettles, as they may exceed the safe operating limits of the extension lead and the connected power supply.
Troubleshooting
No power to any outlets
Ensure the IEC C14 plug is fully seated in the power supply unit. Check that the power supply unit itself is receiving power and is switched on. Verify the mains socket powering the supply unit is active.
One or more outlets not working
Try plugging a known working device into the faulty outlet to diagnose. If the outlet remains non-functional, the lead may have an internal fault. Do not attempt to repair; replace the lead.
Overheating of the lead or plug
This indicates an overload. Immediately unplug devices and check the total power consumption. Remove devices until the load is within the safe operating limits of the lead and power supply.
