FAQs
What type of connector does this cable have on the device end?
This cable features a figure-8 (C7) coupler connector, often referred to as a 'figure 8' lead.
What devices is this cable typically used for?
It is commonly used for devices like the PlayStation 4 console, portable CD players, audio/video equipment, some laptop power supplies, and many LED or smart TVs that have a figure-8 power input.
Is this cable compatible with a PlayStation 5?
The PlayStation 5 typically uses a standard C13 'kettle lead' connector, not a figure-8 (C7) connector. Therefore, this cable is generally not compatible with a PS5.
What is the length of the cable?
The cable is 2 meters long.
Does the UK plug have a fuse?
Yes, the UK 3-pin plug is fitted with a 3A fuse for safety.
Is this cable suitable for high-power equipment?
The C7 connector is rated for 3A, while the cable itself is rated for 5A. It is suitable for most devices commonly using a C7 connector, but always check your device's power requirements.
What does 'VDE Approved' and 'ROHS certified' mean?
'VDE Approved' indicates that the product has been tested and certified by the VDE Institute for safety and quality. 'ROHS certified' means it complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, ensuring it meets environmental standards.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Check that the UK mains plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Verify the wall socket is working by testing it with another appliance. Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage.
Intermittent power or flickering
Check for loose connections at both the device and the wall socket. Gently wiggle the connectors to ensure a firm fit. If the problem persists, the cable may be damaged and should be replaced.
Cable feels hot during use
This is generally not normal. Unplug the cable immediately and inspect it for damage. Ensure the connected device is not drawing excessive power beyond the cable's rating (5A for the cable, 3A for the C7 connector). If the device requires more power, a different cable may be needed. If the cable appears damaged, replace it.
