Power cable c-tech CB-PWRC13-20A 220/230V 2m, mains lead with C13 connector

Power cable c-tech CB-PWRC13-20A 220/230V 2m is a mains lead intended for devices with a standard IEC C13 inlet. With a 2-meter length and EU-compatible mains plug, this cable serves as a replacement or spare for computers, monitors, printers and other electronic appliances operating at 220–230 volts. The design focuses on straightforward connection, secure contact at both ends and compatibility with common household and office power sockets.

Advantages

The cable offers a standardized IEC C13 connector that fits most consumer and professional power inlets, enabling quick replacement without tools. Its 2 m length gives a practical balance between reach and cable management for desk and equipment setups. Constructed to meet typical safety and insulation requirements, the lead provides stable mains conduction and consistent contact resistance. The EU plug end ensures compatibility with 220/230V outlets used in many countries.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and workstations
• Monitors and display equipment
• Laser and inkjet printers
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and power strips
• Other appliances and devices with IEC C13 inlet rated for 220–230V

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 220–230 V
• Length: 2.0 m
• Connector type (device end): IEC C13
• Plug type (mains end): EU-style mains plug
• Conductor configuration: three-core mains lead (live, neutral, earth)
• Typical insulation: PVC jacket for mechanical protection

How to use

Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from mains before connecting the cable. Insert the IEC C13 connector firmly into the device inlet until it seats securely. Plug the mains end into a compatible 220/230V wall socket or power strip. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce strain on the connectors; avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. To disconnect, remove the mains plug from the outlet first, then pull the IEC connector from the device by its body rather than tugging the cable.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable only with devices and sockets rated for 220–230V. Inspect the lead periodically for damage to insulation, exposed conductors or loose connectors and replace the cable if any defects are found. For permanent installations or high-current equipment, verify that the cable gauge and connector ratings meet the device specifications and applicable local safety regulations.
