Product Information

Full details

This kenable 2-meter black power extension cable is designed for users needing to connect equipment with a C13 inlet (like PC towers, monitors, or printers) to a power source featuring C14 outlets, typically found on UPS units or PDUs. Its key benefit is the right-angled C13 connector, which allows for easier access and neat cable management in tight spaces, particularly behind racks or cabinets. A potential caveat is its specific use case, making it less versatile for general power extension needs.

FAQs

What is the difference between C13 and C14 connectors?

A C13 connector is the female socket typically found on the power input of devices like computers and monitors. A C14 connector is the male plug found on power sources like UPS units and PDUs, designed to accept a C13 cable.

Why use a right-angled C13 connector?

A right-angled connector is used to save space, allow equipment to be placed closer to walls or other obstructions, and create a neater, more organized cable run, especially in tight enclosures like server racks.

What appliances can this cable power?

This cable is suitable for appliances with a C13 power inlet, such as PC base units, monitors, printers, photocopiers, and other standard IT and office equipment rated up to 10 Amps.

Can I use this cable for any power outlet?

No, this cable is specifically designed to connect a C13 device to a C14 socket found on UPS units, PDUs, or compatible power supplies. It cannot be plugged directly into a standard wall socket.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

The cable is rated for 10 Amps. At a standard 230V, this equates to a maximum power handling of approximately 2300 Watts.

Is the cable suitable for outdoor use?

No, this cable is designed for indoor use in typical office or IT environments. It is not weatherproof or rated for outdoor conditions.

Troubleshooting

Device not receiving power

Ensure the C14 plug is fully inserted into the power source and the C13 plug is fully inserted into the device. Check that the power source (UPS/PDU) is functioning and switched on. Verify the cable is not damaged.

Loose connection at the appliance

The right-angle C13 connector might not be making full contact if the appliance's C14 inlet is recessed or designed unusually. Ensure it's seated as firmly as possible. If persistent, a straight C13 to C14 cable might be required for that specific appliance.

Cable feels hot during use

This could indicate the cable is overloaded. Check the power draw of your connected device; if it exceeds 10A, you need a higher-rated cable. Ensure the cable is not kinked or damaged, which can impede current flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving right-angle connector reduces strain and improves neatness.
  • Durable moulded connectors ensure a secure and reliable connection.
  • Ideal for connecting PCs, monitors, printers, and other C13 devices to UPS/PDUs.
  • Standard 2-meter length offers practical reach for most setups.
  • 10A rating supports a wide variety of common electronic devices.

Cons

  • Specific C13 to C14 connection is not suitable for general power outlets.
  • Right-angle connector may not fit all equipment due to chassis design.
  • Limited to 10A, unsuitable for high-power industrial equipment.
  • Non-detachable connectors mean the cable cannot be repaired if damaged at the plug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power source (UPS/PDU) is switched off or in a safe state.
  2. Connect the IEC C14 plug to the corresponding socket on your UPS or PDU.
  3. Connect the right-angled IEC C13 plug to the power input on your electrical appliance (e.g., PC, monitor, printer).
  4. Ensure both connections are secure.
  5. Power on the connected equipment and power source.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for appliances with an IEC C13 power inlet.
  • The C14 connector is compatible with standard C14 sockets found on UPS units, PDUs, and some higher-end power supplies.
  • It is rated for 10 Amps, suitable for most standard office and IT equipment. Verify your equipment's power requirements do not exceed 10A (2300W at 230V).

Care:

  • Keep the cable away from excessive heat, moisture, and sharp objects.
  • Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of damage, fraying, or wear. Do not use if damaged.
  • Clean the cable and connectors with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
