Product Information

Full details

This 1-meter Kenable power splitter is designed for users needing to connect multiple UK 3-pin devices to a single C14 IEC input, commonly found on Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). Its key benefit is expanding a single power output to six, efficiently powering various peripherals. A potential caveat is ensuring the total load does not exceed the 13A rating.

FAQs

What is the maximum power this splitter can handle?

The splitter is rated for a maximum load of 13 Amps and 250 Volts AC, which equates to approximately 3250 Watts at 250V.

Can I use this splitter with a standard wall socket?

No, this splitter is designed to connect to a device with a C14 IEC input port, such as a UPS or server. It does not plug directly into a standard UK wall socket.

What is the diameter and material of the cable?

The cable has a diameter of 8mm and is printed with '3G1.5mm2 QINOPU HO5VV-F BS 1363/A SS 145/A MS 586'.

Is the cable length adjustable?

No, the cable length is fixed at 1 meter.

Can I connect high-power appliances like kettles or heaters?

It is not recommended to connect high-power appliances simultaneously as they can easily exceed the 13A total load limit, potentially causing overheating or damage.

What does 'C14 IEC connection' mean?

A C14 IEC connection is a standard type of power connector used on many electronic devices, including UPS units, computer power supplies, and some monitors, allowing for a secure power input.

Troubleshooting

No power to any connected devices

Ensure the C14 plug is fully inserted into the power source. Verify that the power source (e.g., UPS) is active and within its load capacity. Check the main power switch on the splitter (if applicable) and the individual device power switches.

One or more sockets not working

Check if the total power drawn by all connected devices exceeds the 13A rating. Try plugging the device into a different socket on the splitter. Inspect the non-working socket for any visible damage or obstruction.

Cable feels warm during use

A slight warmth may be normal under moderate load. However, if the cable becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect all devices and check the total power consumption. Ensure the cable is not kinked or covered, allowing for proper heat dissipation. If the heat persists or is extreme, discontinue use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficiently powers multiple devices from a single source.
  • High amperage rating suitable for demanding equipment.
  • Built to relevant UK and international safety standards.
  • Convenient for organizing power connections, especially with UPS.
  • Durable cable construction for longevity.

Cons

  • The 1-meter length might be insufficient for some setups.
  • Only suitable for devices with standard UK 3-pin plugs.
  • Requires careful monitoring of total power draw to avoid overloading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the splitter, simply connect the C14 IEC plug into the corresponding C15 socket on your power source, typically a UPS. Then, plug up to six UK 3-pin mains devices into the six available sockets. Ensure all connections are secure.

Compatibility: This splitter is compatible with any device that has a C14 IEC input port on the power source and requires standard UK 3-pin plugs for the devices being powered. It is not compatible with C5, C7, C13, or other non-standard IEC connectors.

Care: Keep the splitter in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme temperatures. Periodically check the cable and plugs for any signs of damage. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth only; do not use liquid cleaners.
