Power Cable Cliff FCR72038, mains lead, 2.5 m, black, IEC mains connector

Cliff FCR72038 is a 2.5 m black mains power cable that connects computer and AV equipment to the AC supply using standard IEC mains connectors. The cable is intended for devices such as power supplies, monitors, printers and other peripherals that accept an IEC inlet. Its 2.5 metre length provides additional reach compared to shorter leads while remaining manageable for desktop and rack installations.

Advantages

The cable uses standard IEC mains connectors on both ends, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of equipment. A 2.5 m length offers flexibility in positioning devices without needing an extension. The black outer jacket provides a discreet appearance that fits typical office and home environments, and the construction is designed for everyday electrical use with secure connector fit.

Suitable for

• Desktop PCs and workstation power supplies
• Computer monitors and printers
• AV equipment such as amplifiers and receivers with IEC inlets
• Small network devices and peripherals that use IEC power connections

When it may not be suitable

This mains lead is designed for standard IEC-equipped devices and ordinary mains voltages; it is not intended for specialised industrial equipment that requires hardened cables, special connectors, or higher-rated current carrying capacity. It should not be used where sealed, weatherproof, or flame-retardant cabling is required for outdoor or hazardous environments.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2.5 metres
• Colour: Black
• Connector type: Standard IEC mains connector (IEC inlet/IEC plug configuration)
• Intended use: Mains power connection for computer and AV equipment

How to use

Verify the device has a compatible IEC inlet, then insert the IEC connector firmly into the equipment inlet and the mating plug into a properly rated wall outlet or power distribution unit. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce strain on connectors; avoid placing the cable where it creates a tripping hazard or where it could be pinched by furniture. Inspect the cable periodically for damage and replace it if the insulation or connectors show signs of wear.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your device uses a standard IEC mains inlet compatible with the cable
• Confirm that a 2.5 m length meets your reach and routing requirements
• Check the required current rating of your equipment matches the cable's intended use
• Consider whether you need specialised features such as locking connectors or weatherproofing

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable indoors with mains voltages and frequencies supported by your equipment, avoid overstressing the conductors with tight bends, and replace the cable if any physical damage is detected. Keep connectors clean and seated firmly to maintain a secure electrical connection.
