TSC Power Core Cable UK 90to IEC 60320 C5 L 1.5M 18.250V

When a laptop power brick needs a reliable connection in a tight space, this TSC Power Core Cable steps in. The UK BS 1363 plug is angled at 90 degrees, so it hugs the wall socket and keeps furniture close to the wall. On the other end, the IEC 60320 C5 connector plugs into the power adapter of many notebooks, projectors, and small appliances. At 1.5 metres long, it reaches from the floor socket to the desk without excess slack. The black PVC jacket is sturdy enough for daily use, and the 0.75 mm² conductors safely carry up to 2.5 A at 250 V AC. CE and RoHS compliance means it meets European safety and environmental standards.

Why choose it

The right-angle UK plug is the standout feature. It reduces strain on the socket and keeps the cable close to the wall, ideal for desks, media units, or any setup where space is limited. The C5 connector is a common standard for laptop power bricks, so this cable works with many brands. The 1.5 m length is practical for most home and office environments, and the flame-retardant PVC jacket adds a layer of safety.

Ideal use cases

• Replacing a lost or damaged laptop power cord
• Connecting a projector power brick in a meeting room
• Powering small appliances like printers or audio equipment
• Keeping a spare cable in a tech toolkit for repairs

Good to know

This cable is rated for 250 V and 2.5 A, which covers most laptop adapters. Always check your device's power requirements before use. The C5 connector is sometimes called a cloverleaf or Mickey Mouse plug because of its three rounded slots. The cable meets CE and RoHS directives, so it is safe for use in the EU. If you need a longer reach, consider a C5 extension cable, but for most desk setups, 1.5 m is just right.
