Power cable Bachmann 356.1259 C14 to C15, 1.5 m, 10 A

Power cable Bachmann 356.1259 C14 to C15, 1.5 m, 10 A is a mains lead designed to connect devices that feature a C15 inlet to a standard C14 outlet. With a 1.5 metre length and a 10 A current rating, this cable provides a safe and stable connection for IT and audio‑visual equipment where the higher temperature‑rated C15 connector is required. Construction and contact design follow industry norms for IEC mains leads to ensure compatibility with servers, power supplies and professional electronics using this connector combination.

Advantages

The cable combines a C14 male plug and a C15 female connector in a compact 1.5 m assembly rated at 10 A, offering a balance of flexibility and electrical capacity for rackmount and desktop applications. The C15 connector’s notch and insulation design permit use with equipment that operates at slightly elevated inlet temperatures compared with standard C13/C14 connectors. The cable is manufactured to deliver consistent conductivity and secure mating to minimise accidental disconnection and resist overheating under rated load.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers and network appliances with C15 inlets to C14 power sources
• Powering professional AV equipment and amplifiers that specify C15 connectors
• Use in data centres, server rooms and equipment racks with short power runs
• Test benches and service environments where a 1.5 m mains lead is practical

Key specifications

• Connector pair: IEC C14 (male) to IEC C15 (female)
• Cable length: 1.5 metres
• Current rating: 10 A
• Voltage rating: suitable for standard mains voltages (check local requirements)
• Conductor type: flexible mains cable suitable for equipment interconnection
• Suitable temperature range: compatible with devices requiring the C15 inlet design for elevated inlet temperature

How to use

Inspect the cable and connectors for damage before use. Ensure both the C14 outlet and the device inlet are powered off when connecting or disconnecting. Insert the C14 plug firmly into the supply outlet and seat the C15 connector fully into the device inlet until it engages. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and route the cable to prevent strain or pinch points. Disconnect by powering down the device and pulling the connector body, not the cable sheath.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable where equipment specifies a C15 inlet or where operating conditions produce higher inlet temperatures. Avoid exceeding the 10 A rating and follow local electrical codes. For permanent installations or where higher currents are required, select a cable with an appropriate current and voltage rating and consult facility electrical specifications.
