Product Information

Full details

This 2-meter Kenable power cable is for users needing to connect devices with a Figure of Eight (C7) input to a 2-pin Euro mains socket, particularly in space-constrained environments. Its primary benefit is the right-angled C7 connector, which allows for closer placement of equipment to walls. A potential consideration is its 2.5A current rating, which may not be suitable for high-power devices.

FAQs

What is a Figure of Eight (C7) connector?

A Figure of Eight (C7) connector is a type of power connector found on many electronic devices. It is shaped like the number '8' and is typically used for low-to-medium power devices such as audio equipment, some gaming consoles, and portable DVD players.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

This cable is rated for a maximum of 2.5 Amperes (A) at 250 Volts (V).

Can I use this cable in the UK?

No, this cable features a 2-pin Euro plug (Type C) which is designed for European power outlets and is not compatible with standard UK 3-pin sockets.

Why is the C7 connector right-angled?

The right-angled design allows the cable to plug into the device at a 90-degree angle, making it ideal for use in tight spaces where a straight connector might be obstructed or protrude too far.

What type of cable is this?

This is an H03VVH2-F 0.75mm² 2-core cable with a durable black PVC jacket.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 2 meters in length.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Check that both the Euro plug and the C7 connector are fully inserted into the wall socket and the device, respectively. Verify the wall socket is functional by testing another device. Ensure the device's power switch is in the 'on' position.

Intermittent power connection

Inspect the cable for any visible damage, especially near the connectors. Ensure the C7 connector is properly seated in its socket, as the right-angle design can sometimes be tight. Try a different C7 cable to rule out a cable fault.

Cable feels warm during use

This cable is rated for 2.5A. If the connected device draws significantly more current, it can cause the cable to overheat, which is a safety hazard. Discontinue use immediately and confirm your device's power requirements. Consider a higher-rated cable if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving design due to the right-angled connector.
  • Durable PVC jacket for extended cable life.
  • Ideal for tight spaces behind furniture or entertainment centers.
  • Provides a secure and reliable power connection.
  • Standard 2-meter length offers good reach.

Cons

  • Not suitable for devices requiring more than 2.5A.
  • The 2-pin Euro plug is only compatible with European-style sockets.
  • May not be the ideal choice for very high-power equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the 2-pin Euro mains plug into a compatible wall socket and connect the Figure of Eight (C7) end to the power input on your device. Ensure both connections are firm.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for devices with a Figure of Eight (Type C7) power input and a 2-pin European (Type C) mains power outlet. It is rated for up to 2.5A at 250V.

Care: To maintain the cable's condition, avoid sharp bends, kinks, or placing heavy objects on it. Clean the connectors and cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners. Ensure the cable is disconnected from the power source before cleaning.
