How to use

Insert the Type F plug into a suitable grounded mains socket, then connect the C13 coupler to the device’s C14 inlet until it seats firmly. Ensure the mains switch (if present) is off before connecting or disconnecting the cable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heat sources and high-traffic walkways to prevent damage or tripping hazards. When in use, check that connections remain secure and that the cable is not pinched by furniture or doors.

Recommendations

Use this cable indoors and in dry environments only. For devices drawing high current or for permanent installations, verify the device’s power requirements and ensure the cable rating matches; replace any cable that shows visible damage or excessive wear. Store the cable coiled loosely to avoid kinks and inspect periodically for insulation integrity.
