ShiverPeaks BS09-07035 is a 2 m adapter power cable that connects devices with an IEC C14 inlet to a European CEE 7/3 (Schuko) mains socket. The cable features a 1 mm² conductor cross-section and is intended primarily for use with UPS units, rack equipment, servers and workstations where a secure mains feed is required. Its straight design and standard connector types make it suitable for replacing or extending power connections in IT and AV installations.
Advantages
The cable combines a standard IEC C14 male connector with a CEE 7/3 (Schuko) plug and a 1 mm² conductor to provide a reliable, low-resistance connection for short-distance power distribution. With a 2 m length it balances reach and cable management in racks or under desks. Designed for use with uninterruptible power supplies and similar equipment, it supports stable mains delivery to sensitive electronics without adding unnecessary bulk.
Suitable for
- Connecting UPS output sockets to European mains outlets
- Powering rack-mounted servers and network devices with IEC C14 inlets
- Supplying workstations, desktop computers and AV equipment
- Temporary or semi-permanent power routing in IT rooms and offices
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for long-distance mains distribution or for applications that require higher conductor cross-sections for increased current capacity. For heavy-duty equipment drawing high current or for permanent fixed wiring installations, a cable with a larger conductor cross-section and an appropriate connector type should be chosen. The 2 m length may be insufficient where greater separation between devices and sockets is required.
Key specifications
- Connector A: IEC C14 (male)
- Connector B: CEE 7/3 (Schuko) plug
- Cable length: 2 m
- Conductor cross-section: 1 mm²
- Primary use: UPS, IT and AV equipment power connection
How to use
Insert the IEC C14 end into the corresponding inlet on the UPS, server or device, and plug the CEE 7/3 Schuko end into a properly rated European mains socket. Ensure the socket and circuit can supply the device's rated current and that any protective earth connection is intact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinching points and heat sources. Disconnect power before performing maintenance or changing connections.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the target device has an IEC C14 inlet compatible with the cable.
- Confirm the 1 mm² conductor cross-section meets the current requirements of your equipment.
- Measure the required length to ensure 2 m is sufficient for your setup and cable routing.
- Check local electrical regulations for mains connections and earthing requirements.
Usage recommendations
Use this adapter cable for short runs between UPS units or equipment and nearby wall sockets, keep connections dry and secure, and replace the cable if insulation shows damage or if connectors become loose to maintain reliable power delivery.
