Full details

This kenable 008299 is a 5-meter power extension lead designed for users needing to connect a standard UK mains plug into a UPS or similar IEC C13 input. Its key benefit is providing a single UK socket from an IEC C14 connection, offering extended reach.

An IEC C14 connector is a standard power connector often found on computer power supplies, UPS units, and other electronic equipment. It mates with an IEC C13 receptacle.

Can I plug multiple devices into this lead?

What is the maximum power this lead can handle?

The lead is rated for a maximum current of 10 Amperes (10A) at 250V AC.

Is this lead suitable for outdoor use?

No, this lead is designed specifically for indoor use only.

Does the lead have an on/off switch?

No, this specific model does not feature an integrated on/off switch.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Can I use this to extend a regular UK wall socket to an IEC C14 device?

No, this lead works in the reverse direction: it converts an IEC C13 output to a UK socket.

Troubleshooting

No power to the connected device.

Ensure the IEC C14 plug is fully inserted into the C13 socket. Verify that the power source (e.g., UPS) is switched on and functioning. Check that the UK socket and the device's plug are clean and free from debris.

Intermittent power connection.

Check for any kinks or damage to the 5-meter cable. Ensure both the IEC and UK plug connections are firm and not loose.

Device not receiving enough power (e.g., slow operation, shutdown).

Confirm that the connected device does not exceed the lead's maximum current rating of 10A. Ensure the power source has sufficient output capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the IEC C14 end into the corresponding IEC C13 socket on your power source (e.g., UPS). Then, plug your standard UK mains device into the Type G (BS 1363) socket on the other end. Ensure connections are secure.

Compatibility: This lead is compatible with any device featuring an IEC C13 output port and requires powering a device with a standard UK 3-pin plug (Type G, BS 1363). It supports up to 250V AC and a maximum current of 10A.

Care: Keep the lead in a dry, indoor environment. Avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme temperatures. Periodically check the cable and connectors for any signs of damage. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth only; do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
