Product Description
The IEC C13 Kettle Lead UK Mains Power Cable 1.5m 3x0.75mm² H05VV-F Black (SKU KETTLE-LEAD-1.5M) carries mains power from a UK wall socket, a PDU (power distribution unit) outlet or a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) outlet to equipment with a C14 inlet.
What each spec means
- BS1363 fused plug: the standard UK three-pin plug, non-rewireable. A 13A fuse is typically fitted. 5A and 10A options exist.
- IEC C13 female connector: the end that pushes onto a C14 inlet. Straight and right-angle versions exist. Right-angle gives more clearance behind shallow-depth PSUs (power supply units).
- H05VV-F, 3-core, 0.75mm²: black PVC cable rated 10A at 250VAC. It meets BS6396 standards for 10A circuits and suits 400-600W rack loads.
- SVTR/VDE approved construction: the approval marks to check when you need to document equipment for commercial premises.
- 1.5m: reaches from a PDU to low or mid-rack equipment without much slack.
- -10°C to 70°C: operating range for control rooms and data centres. The flame-retardant PVC sheath copes with heat from clustered power supplies.
- Moulded strain relief: built for rack door cycling and cable management flexing.
What else you need
The device must have a standard C14 inlet. NVRs (network video recorders), PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches, DVR (digital video recorder) PSUs and monitor power supplies commonly do. Check the inlet shape on the back of your unit before choosing straight or right-angle.
The lead supplies mains power only. It does not carry data or PoE.
