FAQs
What devices is this power cord suitable for?
This cord is suitable for devices with a Figure 8 (C7) power input socket, such as some TVs, monitors, audio equipment, and small appliances, provided they do not exceed a 3A current draw.
How much does the right-angle connector protrude?
The right-angle connector protrudes approximately 2cm from the device's power port when fully inserted.
Can I replace the fuse in this cable?
No, this is a non-rewireable cable, meaning the fuse is integral and cannot be replaced. If the fuse blows, the cable would need to be replaced.
What is the cable length?
The cable length is 3 meters.
Is this cable suitable for the USA or Europe?
No, this cable features a UK 3-pin plug and is designed for use with UK mains sockets (240V).
What is the maximum power rating?
The cable is rated for 3A at 240V AC, which equates to a maximum power draw of 720W (3A x 240V).
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Check that both ends of the power cord are securely connected. Ensure the wall socket is functional by testing with another device. Verify the device's power requirement does not exceed the 3A rating of the fuse.
Intermittent power or poor connection
Gently clean the C7 port on the device and the connector on the cable. Ensure the cable is not damaged or excessively bent.
Cable feels unusually warm
This may indicate the device is drawing more power than the cable or fuse is rated for. Disconnect immediately and check the device's power specifications. Do not use if overheating persists.
