Power Cable QOLTEC IEC C13 to C14, 3×1.0 mm² conductors, 2 m

QOLTEC Power Cable IEC C13 to C14, 3×1.0 mm² conductors, 2 m is a standard mains lead intended for safe and reliable connection of IT and office equipment. The cable features an IEC C13 female connector at one end and an IEC C14 male connector at the other, with three 1.0 mm² copper conductors inside a flexible insulation. With a 2 m length it suits typical rack, desktop and UPS setups where a short, robust interconnect is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a straightforward replacement or spare lead for computers, monitors, printers, UPS units and other devices that use IEC C13/C14 connections. Its three 1.0 mm² conductors are suitable for carrying standard mains current in many office and home environments. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management, while the widely used IEC C13 and C14 connectors ensure broad compatibility with common equipment and power distribution units.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and workstations to power distribution units or UPS outputs
• Linking monitors, printers and small network devices to standard IEC sockets
• Replacing worn or lost IEC C13–C14 power leads in offices, server racks and home setups
• Short interconnections between UPS and protected equipment in rack or shelf installations

When it may not be suitable

This power cable is designed for devices that accept IEC C13 and C14 connectors and are powered from standard mains voltages. It is not intended for outdoor use, for permanent hardwired installations behind walls, or for equipment requiring higher conductor cross-sections or specialized grounded connectors. For appliances with higher current requirements, custom wiring or cables with larger conductor cross-sections should be used.

Key specifications

• Connector A: IEC C13 (female)
• Connector B: IEC C14 (male)
• Conductors: 3 copper cores, 1.0 mm² cross-section each
• Length: 2 m
• Insulation: flexible PVC (standard mains cable insulation)
• Intended use: indoor mains power connection for IT and office equipment

How to use

Insert the IEC C14 male connector into the corresponding IEC inlet on a power distribution unit, UPS or other mains source, and connect the IEC C13 female connector to the device’s power inlet. Ensure both connectors are fully seated and that the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends or pinch points. Disconnect by pulling the connector housing rather than the cable. Always switch off and, if necessary, unplug equipment before connecting or disconnecting power leads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your device accepts an IEC C13 power inlet and that the power source has an IEC C14 outlet or compatible socket.
• Confirm that a 1.0 mm² conductor cross-section is sufficient for your device’s current draw; consult device specifications if unsure.
• Decide if a 2 m length meets your routing and cable management needs or if a shorter/longer cable is preferable.
• Check whether indoor-rated flexible PVC insulation is appropriate for your installation environment.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable only indoors with compatible IEC C13/C14 inlets, avoid overloading beyond equipment specifications, and periodically inspect the cable and connectors for damage. Replace the cable if insulation, conductors or connectors show wear.
