Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 2m IEC C14 to IEC C15 'Hot Condition' Power Cable is designed for users needing to connect heat-generating equipment to a power source, such as a UPS. Its key benefit is the high-temperature resistance of the C15 connector, ensuring safe operation for devices that run hot. A caveat to note is that this cable is intended for dry areas only. This black, 2-meter cable features a C14 plug for input and a C15 connector for output, ideal for servers, networking gear, and professional AV equipment.

FAQs

What is the main difference between a C15 and a C13 connector?

The primary difference is the temperature rating. A C15 connector is designed to withstand higher temperatures (up to 120°C) due to a notch on the connector. A standard C13 connector is rated for lower temperatures (up to 70°C). This makes the C15 suitable for hot-running equipment.

Can I use this cable in a humid environment?

No, this cable is explicitly stated to be for 'Dry Areas Only' and should not be used in humid or wet conditions.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

The cable provides a maximum of 10 Amperes (A) at 250 Volts (V).

What type of devices is this cable typically used for?

It is commonly used for powering equipment that generates higher heat, such as servers, networking devices, and professional AV hardware, especially when connecting to a UPS.

What is the warranty period for this Lindy power cable?

This cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

What does 'Hot Condition' mean in the product name?

'Hot Condition' refers to the C15 connector's ability to handle higher operating temperatures compared to standard power cables.

Is the cable RoHS and REACH compliant?

Yes, the cable is compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations.

Troubleshooting

Cable not powering the device

Ensure the C14 plug is securely inserted into the power source and the C15 connector is fully plugged into the device. Verify that the power source is active and the device is switched on. Check that the device's power requirements do not exceed the cable's 10A/250V rating.

Overheating during use

While the C15 connector is rated for higher temperatures, the cable itself or the connected device should not excessively overheat. Ensure the connected device has adequate ventilation. If the cable jacket feels unusually hot, disconnect immediately and inspect for damage or overload. Ensure the ambient operating temperature is within the specified range (-10 to 70°C).

Physical damage to cable or connectors

Disconnect the cable immediately if you notice any cuts, fraying, or damage to the cable jacket, or bent or damaged pins on the connectors. Replace the cable to ensure safety and reliable operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-temperature resistance suitable for hot-running equipment.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Standard C14 to C15 connection for broad compatibility with UPS and devices.
  • RoHS and REACH compliant, indicating adherence to environmental standards.
  • 10-year warranty provides peace of mind.

Cons

  • Only suitable for dry environments; not intended for wet or humid conditions.
  • Maximum 10A current rating may not be sufficient for extremely high-power devices.
  • While C15 is high-temperature rated, users should still ensure adequate ventilation for their equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply connect the IEC C14 (male) connector to your power source, such as a UPS, PDU, or wall socket with a C13 inlet. Then, connect the IEC C15 (female) connector to your compatible device, typically one with a corresponding C15 inlet designed for higher heat conditions.

Compatibility:

  • Connectors: Features a standard C14 coupler (male) and a C15 coupler (female). The C15 is designed to fit into standard C15 inlets, which are physically similar to C13 but include a notch for heat resistance.
  • Equipment: Suitable for servers, networking devices, professional AV hardware, and other equipment with a C15 power input.
  • Power Source: Compatible with standard power outlets, UPS units, and PDUs that provide a C14 inlet.
  • Environmental: Designed for dry areas only. Ensure the operating environment is free from moisture.
  • Standards: Compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the cable, disconnect it from both the power source and the device. Use a dry or slightly damp (water only) soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the cable jacket.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of damage, such as cuts, kinks, or bent pins. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and replace the cable.
  • Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
