Power Cable Type F ShiverPeaks C13 5m

The ShiverPeaks Power Cable Type F C13 5m is a 5-metre mains lead designed to connect appliances with a C13 inlet to a Type F wall socket at 230 V supply. The cable combines a molded Type F plug on one end with a C13 coupler on the other, offering extended reach for equipment placement in domestic and office environments. Constructed to meet applicable safety standards, the lead is intended for reliable, everyday use where a longer connection between device and wall outlet is required.

Advantages

This 5 m power cable provides increased placement flexibility for IT equipment, audio-visual devices and small appliances without requiring adapters or extension boxes. The molded connectors reduce the risk of loose contacts and the cable’s construction is intended to maintain consistent power delivery at 230 V. Compliance with recognised safety standards ensures the lead is appropriate for routine use in homes and offices.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and monitors with a C13 inlet
• Printers, scanners and other office peripherals
• Audio/video receivers, amplifiers and set-top boxes
• Workstations and home office setups requiring extended cable length

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Plug type: Type F (Schuko)
• Connector on device side: IEC C13 coupler
• Rated input voltage: 230 V
• Construction: moulded connectors with flexible insulated cable
• Intended environment: indoor use (home and office)

How to use

Ensure the appliance to be connected is switched off before attaching the cable. Insert the C13 coupler firmly into the appliance inlet and connect the Type F plug into a compatible 230 V wall socket. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and pinch points and do not place heavy objects on it. After use, disconnect by removing the plug from the socket and then the coupler from the appliance.

Recommendations

Use the cable only with appliances that accept a C13 inlet and operate at 230 V. Do not use outdoors or in damp locations. Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for damage or wear; replace the lead if any insulation or connector damage is visible. Avoid coiling the cable tightly during operation to prevent heat buildup.
