FDL Power Cable - 2M - European Mains Plug to C7 Figure 8 Socket

A C7 socket is a small, unpolarized two-pin connector often found on the back of electronic devices. It is named 'Figure 8' due to the shape of the plug that fits into it, resembling the number 8.

No, this cable is designed for European mains sockets (Type E/F) and will not fit or function in a UK (Type G) socket.

Generally, no. Most laptops use a C5 'cloverleaf' or C13 connector, which requires a different type of power cable. This cable is intended for devices with a C7 input.

The advertised length is 2 meters, but the actual usable cable length is approximately 1.8 meters.

Standard C7 power cables like this are typically rated for up to 2.5 Amps at 250 Volts, suitable for most small to medium electronic devices.

Wipe the cable and connectors with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the cable is completely dry before plugging it in. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Check that the wall outlet is functional by testing with another device. Verify the device's power input is indeed a C7 socket.

Check for loose connections at the wall socket or the device. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Try a different wall outlet.

This is generally not normal. Discontinue use immediately and replace the cable. Ensure the device's power consumption does not exceed the cable's rating (standard C7 cables are typically rated for up to 2.5A).
