Power cable ShiverPeaks 60008 — Schuko plug to IEC C13 connector, 5 m length

ShiverPeaks 60008 is a 5 metre mains power cable with a Schuko (Type F) plug and an IEC C13 connector. It provides a detachable standard connection between wall outlets and IT equipment such as PCs, monitors, printers and small servers. The cable length of 5 m allows flexible placement of devices in home and office environments while maintaining a grounded protective conductor for safe operation.

Advantages

The cable combines a molded Schuko plug with a matching IEC C13 socket, ensuring reliable electrical contact and compatibility with a wide range of equipment. The 5 m length gives extended reach compared with typical 1–2 m leads, reducing the need for extension adapters. The design supports grounded connections and is suitable for environments where a detachable power cord is required for maintenance or equipment replacement.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and workstations
• Monitors and display units
• Printers, scanners and multifunction devices
• Small rack servers and network appliances with IEC C13 inlets
• Home office and office power routing where a 5 m reach is needed

Key specifications

• Connector A: Schuko (Type F) mains plug with protective earth
• Connector B: IEC C13 female connector for equipment inlet
• Length: 5 metres
• Conductor type: flexible mains cable suitable for IT equipment (rubber or PVC insulation)
• Rated for typical mains voltages and currents used in regions with Schuko outlets

How to use

Uncoil the cable fully before connecting to avoid heat build-up. Insert the IEC C13 end into the equipment inlet until it seats firmly. Plug the Schuko end into a compatible grounded wall outlet. Ensure the device is switched off while connecting or disconnecting the cable. For removal, switch off the equipment first and pull the connector grips rather than the cable to avoid strain on the conductors.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable indoors and avoid exposure to moisture, direct sunlight or excessive heat. Do not route the cable under heavy furniture or through doorways where it may be pinched. Replace the cable if the insulation is damaged or if connectors show signs of wear. For installations requiring specific current or fire-safety ratings, verify compatibility with local electrical regulations.
