Cable ShiverPeaks 3.0m C13 - C14 Black 3 m C14 coupler C13 coupler

The ShiverPeaks 3.0m C13 - C14 cable is a three-metre power lead designed to connect equipment with C13 and C14 IEC connectors. Constructed for everyday use in home, office and server-room environments, the cable provides a straightforward means to extend or replace existing power connections between compatible devices and power distribution units or UPS systems. The design emphasizes durability and safety, meeting applicable BS60009-3 conformity for consistent electrical performance.

Advantages

This C13 to C14 cable offers a reliable electrical connection with a flexible jacket that resists normal wear from installation and movement. The three-metre length allows for convenient routing behind furniture or racks without excessive tension. Insulated conductors and secure molded connectors reduce the risk of loose contacts, while the standardized connector shapes ensure compatibility with a wide range of IT and AV equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, monitors and printers to power distribution units or extension leads
• Linking servers, switches and rack equipment to UPS systems or PDUs in small server rooms
• Replacing worn or damaged IEC power leads in home office or multimedia setups
• Temporary power connections during office relocations or equipment maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3.0 metres
• Connector A: IEC C13 coupler (female)
• Connector B: IEC C14 coupler (male)
• Colour: Black
• Standards: conforms to BS60009-3 electrical requirements
• Construction: molded connector housings with insulated conductors

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting the cable. Insert the C14 male end into the C14 inlet of the power source such as a UPS or PDU, and plug the C13 female end into the appliance’s IEC C14 socket. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and minimize contact with heat sources. After connections are secure, restore power and verify that the connected device receives power and operates normally.

Recommendations

Inspect the cable periodically for damage to the jacket or connectors; replace the cable if any wear, exposed conductors or loose fittings are found. Avoid running the cable where it can be pinched by furniture or foot traffic, and do not modify or dismantle the molded connectors. For installations in racks, use gentle cable management to prevent strain on the connector ends.
