Product Information

Full details

This kenable IEC C14 to C19 power cable is designed for users needing to connect devices with an IEC C19 power inlet to a standard IEC C14 power source, commonly found on UPS units or server rack PDUs. Its key benefit is providing a reliable connection between these two connector types, facilitating power distribution. A key consideration is that the C19 connector is rated for 16A, while the C14 and the cable itself are rated for 10A, meaning the total load should not exceed 10A. The cable features durable H05VV-F construction with 3 x 1.5mm² conductors and is 3 meters long in a white finish.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this cable?

This cable allows you to connect a device that has an IEC C19 power socket to a power source that provides an IEC C14 outlet, such as many UPS units or server rack power distribution units (PDUs).

What is the maximum current this cable can handle?

The cable itself and the IEC C14 connector are rated for 10 Amps. While the IEC C19 connector can handle 16 Amps, the overall safe operating limit for this cable is 10 Amps.

Can I use this cable for a device that requires 16 Amps?

No, this cable is rated for a maximum of 10 Amps. Using it for a device that draws 16 Amps or more could lead to overheating, damage, or a fire hazard.

What does H05VV-F mean?

H05VV-F is a type of flexible cable standard. It indicates a harmonized (H) cable designed for 500V (05), with PVC insulation (V) and a PVC sheath (V), and flexible conductors (F).

What is the difference between C14 and C19 connectors?

IEC C14 is a 3-pin inlet, commonly used for power entry on equipment like PCs and UPS units, typically rated up to 10A. IEC C19 is a larger 3-pin connector, often found on higher-power equipment like servers and powerful workstations, typically rated up to 16A.

Is the cable shielded?

The H05VV-F designation indicates a standard PVC insulated and sheathed cable, not specifically a shielded cable. It provides basic protection for power transmission.

What is the warranty on this cable?

Please refer to the retailer or kenable's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by seller and region.

Troubleshooting

No power to the connected device

Verify that both the IEC C14 and C19 connectors are fully seated in their respective ports. Check that the power source (UPS/PDU) is switched on and functioning. Test the cable with a different known working device if possible.

Cable feels warm during operation

This may indicate the connected device is drawing close to the 10A limit. Check the power consumption of your device and ensure it does not exceed the cable's rating. If it is within limits, unplug immediately and inspect the cable for damage. Consider using a cable with a higher amperage rating if your device requires more power.

Loose connection at either end

Ensure connectors are fully inserted. If the port on the equipment or power source is damaged, it may require repair or replacement of that component. The cable connectors themselves are typically not user-serviceable for tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates connection between common IEC C14 outlets (like UPS) and C19 devices.
  • Robust H05VV-F cable construction for durability.
  • Adequate 3-meter length for flexible placement.
  • Clear conductor identification (Brown, Blue, Green/Yellow) for easy installation.
  • White color can aid in identifying specific power runs.

Cons

  • The cable and C14 connector are rated for 10A, not the full 16A potential of the C19 connector, requiring attention to load limits.
  • Not suitable for high-power devices that draw more than 10A.
  • Limited to specific IEC connector types (C14 and C19).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power source (e.g., UPS, PDU) is switched off and the device to be powered is disconnected.
  2. Connect the IEC C14 (kettle plug) end of the cable to the IEC C14 outlet on your power source.
  3. Connect the IEC C19 end of the cable to the corresponding IEC C19 inlet on your equipment.
  4. Once connections are secure, switch on the power source and then the connected equipment.

Compatibility:

  • Input Connector: IEC C14 (commonly found on UPS units, PDUs, PC power supplies).
  • Output Connector: IEC C19 (commonly found on high-power IT equipment like servers, switches, some monitors, and specialized power distribution units).
  • Voltage: Rated for 250V operations.
  • Current: The cable and C14 connector are rated for 10A. The C19 connector is rated for 16A, but the overall system capacity is limited by the 10A rating of the cable and C14 plug. Do not exceed 10 Amps.

Care:

  • Inspect the cable and connectors regularly for any signs of damage (fraying, cuts, bent pins).
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Keep the cable and connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure the cable is not run over by chairs or other heavy objects.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
