FAQs
What does 'C7' or 'Figure 8' mean?
C7 is the IEC connector type, commonly referred to as a 'figure 8' connector due to the shape of its two round pins, resembling the number 8.
Is this cable suitable for all TVs?
No, it is only suitable for TVs that specifically use a C7 (figure 8) power input socket. Many modern TVs use a standard IEC C13 connector (kettle lead) or a different power solution.
What is the purpose of the 3A fuse?
The 3 Amp fuse is a safety feature designed to blow and break the circuit in case of an electrical fault or surge, protecting both the cable and the connected appliance.
Can I use this cable with a laptop power adapter?
Yes, if your laptop's power adapter uses a C7 (figure 8) input port, this cable is suitable. Many older or smaller power bricks use this type of connection.
How do I know if my device needs this cable?
Check the power input port on your device. If it has two small, circular holes side-by-side, it likely requires a C7 (figure 8) cable. Refer to your device's manual for confirmation.
Is the 5-meter length suitable for most setups?
The 5-meter length offers greater flexibility than standard 1-2 meter cables, making it ideal for positioning devices away from power outlets without relying on extension leads.
What does RoHS certified mean?
RoHS certified means the product complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, limiting the use of specific harmful materials in its manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Check if the UK mains plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Verify that the wall socket is functioning by testing it with another appliance. Confirm the device itself requires a C7 power input.
Intermittent power loss
Inspect the cable for any kinks, cuts, or damage. Ensure the C7 connector is firmly seated in the device's power port. Try wiggling the connector gently to check for a loose connection.
Cable feels excessively warm
Unplug the cable immediately and check for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is not covered or restricted, allowing for adequate ventilation. If the issue persists or the cable is damaged, discontinue use and replace it.
