The EFB Elektronik EK460.1,8 is a 3 m power cable with a BS 1363/A mains plug on one end and a C13 coupler on the other. Designed for powering IT equipment, monitors, printers and other appliances that accept a C13 inlet, this black cable provides a straightforward connection between standard UK mains sockets and devices with IEC C13 sockets. The construction focuses on stable electrical contact and a length suitable for flexible placement of equipment in offices, server rooms and home setups.

Advantages

This power cable combines a widely used BS 1363/A plug with an IEC C13 coupler, enabling compatibility with many desktop computers, monitors, UPS units and printers. The 3 m length offers extended reach compared with short patch leads, reducing the need for additional extension cords. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends with typical office and home environments while protecting internal conductors from wear and abrasion.
