FAQs
What type of plug does this cable have on the mains end?
This cable features a EURO Schuko (Type F) plug, which is standard for most European countries.
What does IEC C13 mean?
IEC C13 is the standard designation for the female connector found on the power input side of many electronic devices, including computers and monitors, which accepts the male plug from a power cord.
Can I use this cable for high-power devices like a heater?
This cable is rated for 5A on the IEC C13 end. It is suitable for typical PC, monitor, and printer power requirements. For high-power devices exceeding 5A, a cable with a higher amperage rating is necessary.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Please refer to the retailer or kenable's official documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
What does 'sonically welded' mean for the connectors?
Sonic welding is a process that uses high-frequency vibrations to fuse plastic components together, creating a strong, seamless, and durable bond for the connectors.
Is this cable suitable for use in the UK?
No, this cable has a European Schuko plug and is not compatible with UK mains sockets. A UK mains cable would be required for use in the United Kingdom.
What is the wire gauge of this cable?
This 0.5m cable uses HO5VV-F 3G 0.75mm² wiring.
Troubleshooting
Appliance does not power on.
Verify that both the EURO Schuko plug and the IEC C13 plug are securely inserted into the power outlet and the appliance, respectively. Check that the power outlet is functional by testing it with another device. Ensure the appliance itself is switched on and functioning.
Intermittent power or connection issues.
Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage. Clean the IEC C13 connector and the appliance's power port with a dry cloth. Ensure the cable is not bent sharply or strained.
Cable feels warm during use.
Slight warmth may be normal for power cables under load. However, if the cable becomes excessively hot to the touch, immediately disconnect the appliance and the cable. This could indicate an overloaded circuit or a faulty cable. Check the appliance's power consumption against the cable's rating (5A on IEC end).
