Product Information

Full details

This kenable IEC splitter cable is designed for users needing to power multiple devices from a single C14 outlet, such as in office environments or for computer systems. Its key benefit is expanding one power input into two outputs, simplifying cable management and setup. A caveat is its 10A rating, which should not be exceeded. The cable features a C14 plug to two C13 sockets, a total length of 2 meters (with a 1-meter main segment and two 1-meter leads), a 240V AC voltage rating, and a 1.0mm² core size.

FAQs

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

This splitter cable is rated for a maximum of 10 Amps (10A) at 240V AC. Ensure the combined power consumption of the devices connected does not exceed this limit.

Can I use this cable to power two high-demand devices like gaming PCs?

It is not recommended for two high-demand devices. The 10A limit is suitable for standard office equipment or a mix of one moderately demanding device and several low-demand devices. Always check the power requirements of your equipment.

What is the length of each individual output lead?

The cable has a total length of 2 meters. This consists of a 1-meter main segment, from which two separate 1-meter leads extend to the C13 sockets.

Is this cable suitable for industrial equipment?

This cable is designed for typical office and computer systems. For heavy-duty industrial equipment, a higher-rated power cable may be necessary. Always consult the specifications of your equipment.

What does 'C14 plug' and 'C13 socket' mean?

C14 and C13 are standard connector types defined by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). A C14 is a male plug that typically goes into a C13 female socket. This cable adapts one C14 input to provide two C13 outputs.

Does this cable come in different colors?

According to the product information, this specific model (006157) is available in black.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Ensure the C14 plug is fully inserted into the power source. Verify the power source is active. Check that the total power draw of the connected devices does not exceed the 10A limit. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.

One device powers on, the other does not

Try swapping the connections to the C13 sockets. Test each C13 socket with a known working device. If one socket consistently fails, the cable may be faulty.

Cable feels hot during use

This indicates the connected devices are drawing too much power and likely exceeding the 10A rating. Immediately disconnect devices and ensure the total load is within specifications. Overheating can damage the cable and connected equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficiently powers two devices from one source.
  • Simplifies cable management in compact setups.
  • Durable construction for reliable use.
  • Standard connectors compatible with common equipment.

Cons

  • Limited to a 10A total load.
  • Splitting a single source may not be suitable for high-demand devices.
  • Fixed cable lengths may require extension if more reach is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable power source with a C14 socket.
  2. Plug the C14 coupler of the splitter cable firmly into the C14 socket.
  3. Connect the power cords of your two devices to the C13 sockets on the splitter cable.
  4. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on your devices.

Compatibility:

  • Input: Compatible with standard IEC C14 power outlets, commonly found on PDUs, UPS units, and some power supplies.
  • Output: Compatible with standard IEC C13 power cords, used by most desktop computers, monitors, and office equipment.
  • Voltage: Suitable for 240V AC power systems.
  • Amperage: Designed for a maximum combined load of 10 Amps. Do not exceed this rating.

Care:

  • Keep the cable dry and away from excessive moisture.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can damage internal wiring.
  • Periodically inspect the connectors and cable for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth only; do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
