Power cord C13 - C14 black 1.8 m ACT

The ACT Powercord C13 - C14 black 1.8 m ACT is a mains connection cable designed to supply power between devices with C14 inlets and C13 connectors. With a 1.8 m length and a black jacket, this power cord is intended for use in office equipment and home electronics where a standard IEC C13–C14 connection is required. The cable supports common mains voltages and is constructed to meet normal safety and durability expectations for consumer and small-business environments.

Advantages

This power cord provides a reliable electrical connection with a compact, flexible design suitable for cable routing in racks, under desks, or behind appliances. The 1.8 m length balances reach and cable management needs while the black outer sheath offers a discreet appearance. Rated for typical device current levels, the cable is suitable for repeated daily use and offers consistent contact performance between plugs and sockets.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and monitors with IEC C13 inlet
• Network equipment such as switches and UPS units with C14 outlets
• Printers, scanners and other office peripherals
• Home AV equipment and power distribution units (PDUs)

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Connector type: IEC C13 to IEC C14
• Rated current: 10 A
• Colour: Black
• Construction: three-core mains cable with moulded connectors

How to use

Connect the C13 connector to the device input and the C14 connector to the power source or distribution unit ensuring that both ends are fully seated. Verify that the connected device's voltage and current requirements do not exceed the cord's rated current. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points and proximity to heat sources, and secure it to prevent tripping hazards. Inspect connectors and cable insulation periodically for signs of wear or damage and replace the cord if any defects are found.

Recommendations

Use the cable indoors and in dry environments only. Do not use the cord with devices that require higher current than the cable rating, and avoid connecting the cable to adapters or extension leads that obscure ventilation or create overload risks. For rack and PDU installations, ensure strain relief is used to prevent stress on the connectors.
