FAQs
Can I use this cable outdoors?
No, this product is designed and rated strictly for indoor use.
What is the maximum current rating?

Will this fit into a standard wall socket?
No, the male end is an IEC C14 connector, which is designed to fit into a C13 port found on UPS units or IT hardware, not a wall outlet.
Is the on/off switch illuminated?
The product features an integrated switch for power management; please verify the specific unit's light status upon arrival as designs may vary slightly.
Does this work with 250V power sources?
Yes, it is rated for AC input voltage up to 250V.
How long is the cable?
The cable measures 1 meter in length.
Troubleshooting
Device connected to the lead does not power on.
Verify that the integrated on/off switch on the extension is in the 'On' position and check that the IEC C14 connector is fully seated in the UPS or power source.
The lead feels warm to the touch during operation.
Immediately disconnect the device and check if the total current draw exceeds the 10A maximum load rating. If the load is within limits, inspect the connection points for debris or loose fits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure your UPS or power source is turned off before inserting the IEC C14 connector. Once firmly seated, plug your standard UK device into the Type G socket and toggle the integrated switch to the 'On' position. To maintain safety, regularly inspect the cable for any signs of fraying or heat-related discoloration. Always ensure the device being powered does not exceed the 10A current limit to prevent potential circuit overloading. This lead is designed for static, indoor use; avoid using it in damp environments or areas with excessive dust.
