- Connector: IEC C13 female, matching standard C14 inlets on CCTV power supplies
- Length: 1.5m — suited to PDU-to-mid-rack runs or wall socket-to-rack feeds
- Build: SVTR/VDE approved construction, moulded strain relief, black PVC sheath
- Operating range: -10°C to 70°C, suited to control room and data centre environments
Selecting this lead
Choose the straight C13 variant where the equipment inlet is easily reached from the front or rear, and the right-angle C13 version where a shallow rack depth or tight cable management channel limits clearance behind the PSU. The 1.5m length works well for PDU-to-equipment runs within a single rack or short wall-to-rack feeds; measure the actual route before ordering, as this length is not intended for long floor or containment runs.
Moulded strain relief is built to withstand repeated flexing from rack door movement and cable dressing, which matters on leads that get handled during maintenance visits. Fit is limited to equipment with a standard IEC C14 inlet — check the target device before ordering if you're unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this lead connect?
A UK BS1363 fused plug at one end to a standard IEC C13 female connector at the other, for equipment with a C14 inlet such as NVRs, switches and monitor PSUs.
Is the 1.5m length enough for a full rack run?
It's intended for PDU-to-mid-rack equipment or wall socket-to-rack feeds rather than long containment runs, so measure the actual route first.
What's the cable rated for?
H05VV-F 3-core 0.75mm² cable rated 10A at 250VAC, built to SVTR/VDE approved construction.
Straight or right-angle connector — which do I need?
Straight suits easily accessible inlets; right-angle is better where shallow rack depth or tight cable management limits clearance behind the PSU.
