The Kenable 008295 is a 0.5-meter mains extension lead designed for converting an IEC C14 (kettle style) connection to a standard UK 3-pin plug socket. It is ideal for users needing to connect standard UK plug devices, such as computer peripherals or monitors, to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that features an IEC C13 outlet. Its primary benefit is providing a simple and reliable way to integrate UK devices into UPS systems, though users should be mindful of its 10A maximum current limit.

An IEC C14 connection is a type of male connector often referred to as a 'kettle style' input. It is commonly found on power supplies, UPS units, and some professional equipment.
No, this lead is specifically designed to convert an IEC C13 output to a UK socket. The IEC C14 end is a plug and cannot be plugged into a standard UK wall socket.
The lead can handle a maximum current of 10 Amps at 250 Volts AC. This equates to a maximum power of 2500 Watts (10A x 250V).
The IEC C14 connector itself is unfused. The UK plug end is a standard UK plug, which typically includes a fuse within the plug itself for device protection. The primary protection for devices plugged into the lead should ideally come from the UPS or power source it connects to.
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product listing or contact the seller for details on warranty.
No, this lead is rated for 'Indoor' placement only and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.
Ensure the IEC C14 connector is fully seated in the C13 outlet and the UK plug is firmly inserted into the lead's socket. Verify the connected device is switched on and the power source (e.g., UPS) is active and not in battery mode without AC input.
Check for loose connections at both ends of the lead. Inspect the cable for any physical damage. Ensure the total power draw of the connected device does not exceed the 10A limit.
Immediately disconnect the lead and the connected device. This indicates the load likely exceeds the 10A maximum current rating. Do not use the lead again if it has overheated significantly.
