Power Cable QOLTEC IEC C13 to C14, 3×1.0 mm², 1 m

QOLTEC Power Cable IEC C13 to C14, 3×1.0 mm², 1 m is a short, flexible mains lead intended for connecting devices that use standard IEC mains inlets. The 1 meter length and three-conductor 1.0 mm² cross-section make this cable suitable for short-distance power connections in server racks, UPS units, power distribution modules and desktop equipment. Both ends use IEC connectors compatible with many IT and AV devices.

Advantages

This QOLTEC cable offers a compact and reliable solution for replacing or extending short power leads. The construction with three insulated conductors and standard IEC C13 and C14 connectors ensures straightforward plug-and-play installation. The cable’s length and flexibility reduce excess slack and help maintain tidy cable management in confined spaces. Materials and connector fit are designed to meet typical safety and operational requirements of rack-mounted and desktop equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, switches and other rack devices to PDUs or UPS outlets
• Replacing short or damaged IEC mains leads on monitors and desktop PCs
• Linking UPS units to power distribution strips in server rooms or office racks
• Temporary power connections during equipment reconfiguration or maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for permanent outdoor use or exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or mechanical abuse. It is designed for standard mains voltages and typical IT environments; it may not be appropriate for high-current or specialty power systems that require thicker conductors or different connector types.

Key specifications

• Connector A: IEC C13 (female)
• Connector B: IEC C14 (male)
• Conductor configuration: 3 cores
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm² per core
• Length: 1 meter
• Typical use: indoor, IT and AV equipment power connections

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting the cable. Insert the IEC C13 end into the device’s IEC inlet and the IEC C14 end into the corresponding socket on the PDU, UPS or another compatible outlet. Position the cable so it does not create strain on connectors and avoid sharp bends. After connection, power on devices and verify the electrical connection is stable. For rack installations, use cable ties or routing clips to secure the cable and prevent interference with airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the device inlets/outlets use IEC C13 and C14 connectors
• Verify 1.0 mm² conductor size is suitable for the device current draw
• Measure required length to ensure 1 meter is sufficient for your setup
• Use only indoors and avoid environments with moisture or mechanical damage risk

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, match the cable to the appliance’s rated current and maintain secure, strain-free connections; replace the cable if insulation or connectors show visible wear.
