Product Information
Full details
This Kenable 001854 power cord is designed for users in the UK looking to consolidate multiple power connections into a single, manageable lead. Its key benefit is reducing cable clutter by providing one UK mains plug that splits into two standard IEC sockets and one C5 CloverLeaf socket. A potential caveat is the fixed length and specific split configuration, which may not suit all setup requirements.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What devices can I connect to the IEC C13 sockets?
The IEC C13 sockets are commonly used for power supplies of desktop computers, monitors, printers, and some other AV equipment. Always check your device's power input specification.
What is a C5 CloverLeaf socket used for?
The C5 socket, often called a CloverLeaf connector, is frequently used for laptop power adapters and some other compact electronic devices. Check your device's power adapter for a matching C5 connector.
Is this cable surge protected?
Yes, the product description indicates surge protection with a current contact max of 18000A and a time response of 1ns.
What is the total length of the cable?
The total cable length is 2.3 meters.
Can I use this cable in Europe?
No, this cable is specifically designed for use in the United Kingdom with a standard UK 13A 3-pin mains plug and is rated for 230V AC.
What is the cable type?
The cable type is H05VV-F 3 x 1.00mm^2, which is a standard for flexible power cables.
How many devices can I connect simultaneously?
You can connect up to three devices: two via the IEC C13 sockets and one via the C5 socket. Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the cable's 13A rating.
Troubleshooting
No power to any connected device.
Ensure the UK 3-pin plug is fully inserted into a live wall socket. Check if the wall socket is functioning by plugging in another known working device. Verify the mains switch on the cable, if applicable, is in the 'on' position.
One or more sockets not providing power.
Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Check the specific device connected to the faulty socket; ensure it is powered on and functioning. The issue may lie with the connected device rather than the cable.
Cable feels warm during use.
Some warmth is normal under heavy load. However, if the cable becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect all devices and unplug the cable. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 13A rating. Replace the cable if excessive heat persists.
