1.8m UK 3 Pin to IEC C13 Kettle Lead Power Cable

This 1.8 metre mains power cable connects UK 3 pin wall sockets to devices with IEC C13 inlets, commonly found on computer monitors, desktop PCs, printers, and various household appliances. The cable features a 5 amp fused UK plug for electrical safety and overload protection.

Cable Specifications

The cable measures 1.8 metres in length, providing sufficient reach for most desktop and appliance setups without excess cable clutter. The black PVC outer sheath offers durability and blends with standard equipment colours. The UK 3 pin plug conforms to BS1363 standards, ensuring compatibility with all UK mains sockets.

IEC C13 Connector Compatibility

The IEC C13 connector, often called a kettle plug, is the industry-standard power inlet for computer equipment and office electronics. This connector type fits securely into C14 inlets, creating a reliable connection for continuous power supply. The connector is rated for appropriate current draw for monitors, desktop computers, and similar equipment.

5 Amp Fuse Protection

The integrated 5 amp fuse in the UK plug provides circuit protection for connected devices. This fuse rating is suitable for low to medium power consumption equipment such as computer monitors, LED displays, and small appliances. The fuse can be replaced if required, maintaining the cable's protective function.

Common Applications

This power cable serves multiple purposes in home and office environments. Connect computer monitors to wall outlets, power desktop PCs, link printers and scanners, or supply power to audio equipment and small appliances. The 1.8m length works well for desk setups where equipment sits near wall sockets.

Safety and Compliance

The cable construction meets UK electrical safety standards. The moulded plug design prevents internal wire exposure, whilst the secure connector fitting reduces the risk of accidental disconnection. The 5 amp fuse provides an additional layer of protection against electrical faults and overcurrent situations.

Installation and Use

Simply insert the UK 3 pin plug into a mains socket and connect the IEC C13 end to your device's power inlet. The cable requires no special installation procedures. The black finish maintains a professional appearance in office settings and home workspaces.
