Power cable EFB Elektronik EK588BL.3V2 — Type F to C13, 3 m, 250 V, 10 A

EFB Elektronik EK588BL.3V2 is a 3 m mains power cable with a Type F (Schuko) plug and an IEC C13 coupler, designed to connect devices with a C13 inlet to standard European outlets. Rated for 250 V and 10 A, the cable features a blue PVC jacket and three-conductor wiring that delivers safe, continuous power for desktop computers, monitors, printers and similar equipment in home or office environments.

Advantages

The cable combines a standard IEC C13 connector with a robust Type F plug for wide compatibility across European mains sockets. Its 3 m length allows flexible placement of equipment without the need for extension adapters. Constructed with a durable PVC jacket and properly insulated conductors, the cable meets the electrical ratings of 250 V and 10 A to ensure reliable low- to moderate-current operation. The blue color aids visual identification when multiple cables are present.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs to wall sockets in offices and homes
• Powering monitors, printers and small UPS units with C13 inlets
• Replacing worn or lost power cords for compatible IT equipment
• Temporary setups where a 3 m length is needed for cable routing

Key specifications

• Connector 1: Type F (Schuko) mains plug
• Connector 2: IEC 60320 C13 female coupler
• Length: 3 metres
• Rated voltage: 250 V
• Rated current: 10 A

How to use

Inspect the cable for visible damage before each use. Insert the IEC C13 coupler into the device’s C13 inlet until it seats firmly. Plug the Type F plug into a compatible 230–250 V mains socket with protective earth. Do not force connectors into incompatible sockets. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends, tripping hazards and contact with hot surfaces. Disconnect by withdrawing the plug from the mains socket first, then remove the C13 connector from the device.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its rated voltage and current (250 V, 10 A) and avoid using it with devices that exceed these limits. For permanent installations or high-current equipment, choose cables and connectors with appropriate ratings. Store the cable coiled loosely to prevent kinks and replace it if any insulation damage or conductor exposure is detected.
