RS PRO IEC C14 Plug to IEC C15 Socket Power Cord, 2m

From RS Pro a high quality and durable power cable assembly or power extension cord for connecting a computer to a monitor or printer or extending an existing power lead. This extension cord is fully equipped with an IEC C14 plug on one end and an IEC C15 socket on the other. The cable features integrated strain reliefs that provide additional protection and support to the connectors and protects them against damage from excessive bending.

Power cable assemblies are electrical cables that are pre-terminated with a plug or socket connector. Power cable assemblies can be terminated with connectors on both ends of the cable, as in this case, or just one. Depending on the application, there are various types to suit a wide range of requirements.

The IEC C14 and IEC C15 connectors on either end of this lead have 3 pins and a rated current of 10 A. These connectors conform to a set of specifications called IEC-60320 laid down by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) to make sure they meet common global design standards.

• Flexible and durable harmonised H05RR-F 3 x 1 mm 2 cable (10 A) with EPR (Ethylene propylene rubber) insulation and sheath and stranded wire cores.
• Terminated with an IEC C14 and C15 connector
• Fully moulded connector design for strength and durability
• Integrated strain relief for connection support and protection

These C14 to C15 cables are for use with IEC Class I appliances and are used in computer equipment for interconnecting and powering PCs and peripherals such as monitors and printers. They can also be used for extending an existing power connection. The configuration of this cable enables equipment with a C16 socket such as servers and rack-mount switches to be connected to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) that have C13 outputs

A range of electrical appliance connecting leads, the majority of which are terminated with connectors that conform to IEC 60320. The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is the international standards and conformity assessment body. The drawing illustrates the range of connector types offered within this section - The 'odd' 'C' numbers refer to a socket type connector - mains input - and the 'even' 'C' numbers refer to a plug type connector - the appliance inlet.
