Product Description
KETTLE-LEAD-1.8M is a 1.8-metre IEC C13 kettle lead used to power mains-fed equipment in a CCTV installation. It terminates in the standard IEC C13 connector found on monitors, NVRs, PoE switches, and many recording stations, so it slots into most rack and desk setups without adapters.
Where it fits in a CCTV job
On a typical install, cameras and PoE injectors get their power from a PoE switch or injector, but the switch itself, the NVR, and any monitor still need a standard mains connection — that's what this lead handles. The 1.8m length gives enough slack to route from a wall socket to equipment mounted in a rack, cabinet, or on a desk without the cable running taut.
Practical selection notes
- Connector type: standard IEC C13 — check the receiving equipment uses this socket type before ordering, as some NVRs and switches use different IEC variants.
- Length: 1.8m suits most desk, shelf, or small cabinet placements; measure the run from socket to equipment first if the power point is further away.
- Build: constructed for regular use, intended to give a stable connection to equipment such as NVRs and monitors that need a consistent power supply.
Keep a spare on the van — it's a cheap point of failure to rule out first when a recorder or monitor won't power up on site.
