FAQs

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

This cable is rated for a maximum of 5 Amps. This is suitable for most standard office equipment but not for high-power appliances.

What is the advantage of the right-angle C13 plug?

The right-angle plug allows the cable to be connected neatly in tight spaces, such as behind a desk or in a crowded server rack, reducing cable clutter and preventing obstructions.

Can I use this cable for a high-performance gaming PC?

It depends on the power supply unit (PSU) of the gaming PC. If the PSU draw is consistently above 5 Amps, this cable may not be suitable and a higher-rated cable would be recommended.

Is this cable VDE approved?

Yes, the cable is VDE approved, indicating it meets rigorous European safety standards.

What does C14 and C13 refer to?

C13 is the female connector typically found on power cords for many electronic devices, and C14 is the corresponding male inlet, commonly found on power supplies like UPS units and PDUs.

Where is this cable most commonly used?

It is commonly used in office environments, data centers, and home offices to connect devices to UPS units or PDUs, especially where space is limited.

Troubleshooting

Device not receiving power

Ensure the C14 plug is fully inserted into the UPS/PDU and the C13 plug is fully inserted into the device. Check that the UPS/PDU is powered on and functioning. Verify the connected device is rated within the cable's 5A limit.

Cable feels loose at connection

Gently push the connector further into the socket until it clicks or feels secure. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points.

Overheating at connector

Immediately unplug the cable and device. This indicates a potential overload or faulty connection. Check the device's power draw against the cable's 5A rating. Inspect for damage and replace if necessary.
