FAQs
What is an IEC C13 connector?
An IEC C13 connector is a standard 3-pin female connector commonly found on the power input of many electronic devices like computer monitors, PC towers, and printers.
What is the maximum current this cable can handle?
The cable is rated for a maximum input current of 5 Amperes (5A), supported by the 0.75mm² copper cores and the fused UK plug.
Can I use this cable in countries other than the UK?
The UK mains plug (Type G) is designed for use in the United Kingdom. While some other countries use Type G plugs, it is not universally compatible. The IEC C13 end is standard internationally.
Is the fuse in the UK plug replaceable?
Yes, the fuse in the UK mains plug can be replaced. Standard 5A fuses are typically used and can be accessed by opening the fuse compartment on the plug.
What does 'VDE Approved' mean?
VDE Approved signifies that the cable has undergone testing and meets the safety and quality standards set by the Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) in Germany, indicating a high level of safety.
How should I clean the cable?
Always disconnect the cable from the power source first. Wipe the cable and connectors with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on.
Ensure both the UK mains plug and the IEC C13 connector are securely plugged into the wall socket and the device, respectively. Check if the wall socket is functional by testing with another appliance. Verify the fuse in the UK plug is intact; replace if blown.
Intermittent power or flickering.
Check for loose connections at either end of the cable. Inspect the cable for any visible damage, such as cuts or kinks. If damage is found, replace the cable immediately.
Cable feels excessively warm during use.
This may indicate the device is drawing more current than the cable is rated for (above 5A) or there is a fault. Disconnect the device immediately and check its power requirements. Do not use the cable if it feels excessively hot.
