Power cable Bachmann 356.171 Black 2 m C14 C13 coupler

The Bachmann 356.171 Black 2 m C14 C13 coupler power cable provides a 2‑metre connection between devices and power sources using a male C14 inlet and female C13 outlet. Designed for general-purpose power delivery to computers, monitors, printers and other IEC-compatible equipment, the cable offers a straightforward solution for extending or replacing standard IEC mains leads. Its black jacket and molded connectors are intended to maintain secure contact and resist everyday wear in home and office environments.

Advantages

This power cable combines a standardized IEC C14 to C13 connector pair with a 2 m length to provide flexible placement of equipment without compromising connection stability. The molded connectors help ensure reliable mating with IEC sockets while the outer sheath provides insulation and mechanical protection. The cable’s build supports common mains voltages and typical current requirements for consumer and business electronics, offering a practical and durable option for routine power connections.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and workstations
• Monitors and small form-factor servers
• Printers, scanners and multifunction devices
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and power distribution units (PDUs)
• Replacing or extending existing IEC C13 power leads

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 metres
• Connector A: IEC C14 (male inlet)
• Connector B: IEC C13 (female outlet)
• Color: Black
• Conductor type: multi-core insulated cable (standard mains conductor)
• Typical use: mains power for IEC-compatible equipment

How to use

Insert the C14 end into a compatible equipment inlet or PDU input and plug the C13 end into the device requiring mains power. Ensure both connectors are fully seated and that the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends, pinch points or hot surfaces. Before connecting, confirm that the mains supply and the connected device share compatible voltage and current ratings. Disconnect power before inspecting or repositioning the cable.

Recommendations

For safe and long-lasting operation, use the cable within the equipment manufacturer’s specified voltage and current limits, avoid exposing the cable to moisture or direct heat sources, and replace the cable if you observe visible damage to the insulation or connectors.
