FAQs

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

This cable is rated for a maximum of 5 amps at 250V.

What devices can I use this cable with?

It's suitable for most standard office equipment such as PC base units, monitors, printers, and photocopiers that have a C13 power input.

What does the blue color signify?

The blue color, like other available colors, is intended to help users easily identify and manage different cables connected to various pieces of equipment.

Is this cable suitable for high-power gaming PCs?

It depends on the power supply unit (PSU) of the gaming PC. If the PSU draw is within the 5-amp limit, it may be suitable. For higher-draw systems, a cable with a higher amp rating might be necessary.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use in office or computer room environments and is not weather-resistant.

What is the cable gauge?

The cable is specified as 0.75mm².

How should I clean the cable?

Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Test the cable with a different known working device or try a different power outlet. Verify the device's power requirements do not exceed the cable's 5-amp rating.

Intermittent power loss

Check for loose connections at either end. Inspect the cable for any physical damage (cuts, kinks, or fraying). If damage is found, discontinue use and replace the cable.

Cable feels unusually hot

Immediately unplug the cable and the connected device. This could indicate the device is drawing more power than the cable can safely handle (exceeding 5 amps) or that the cable itself is faulty. Do not use the cable if it feels excessively hot.
