Power Cable ACT AK5252 0.25m IEC C14 to IEC C5 250V 2.5A

The ACT AK5252 power cable is a 0.25 meter lead with IEC C14 to IEC C5 connectors, designed to deliver mains power to equipment that uses a three-pin cloverleaf (C5) inlet. Rated for 250V and 2.5A, this compact black cable provides a short, reliable connection between a standard C14 power outlet and compatible devices. Its short length reduces cable clutter and is suitable where devices sit close to a power source.

Advantages

This cable offers a standardized IEC C14 plug and IEC C5 connector for broad compatibility with power supplies and appliances that require a cloverleaf inlet. The 0.25 m length minimizes excess conductor and helps maintain tidy setups in constrained spaces. Built to meet the stated voltage and current ratings, the cable supports stable power delivery for low- to moderate-current devices. Its black finish integrates unobtrusively with most equipment and installations.

Suitable for

• Powering laptops, small projectors and portable appliances with IEC C5 inlets located near a C14 outlet
• Use in server racks or workstations where a short power lead is required to avoid cable overlap
• Temporary setups or service benches where short, direct power connections reduce trip hazards

Key specifications

• Connectors: IEC C14 (male) to IEC C5 (female)
• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Rated voltage: 250 V
• Rated current: 2.5 A
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert the IEC C14 end into the corresponding inlet of the power source or PDU and connect the IEC C5 end to the device requiring power. Ensure both connections are fully seated and that the device’s power requirements do not exceed the cable’s 250V/2.5A rating. Avoid routing the cable across walkways or placing it under heavy objects; check connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if any insulation or connector parts are compromised.

Recommendations

For safe operation, use this short cable only with compatible devices whose power draw is within the specified limits. Keep the cable away from heat sources and sharp edges, and inspect periodically for wear. If longer reach is needed, select an appropriately rated longer cable rather than joining multiple short leads.
