Lindy 0.5m IEC C14 to C13 Extension Cable, Black

Lindy C14-C13 IEC Extension Lead – 0.5m, Black

When space is tight behind a rack or desk, a short IEC extension lead keeps cable runs neat and manageable. The Lindy 0.5m IEC C14 to C13 Extension Cable, Black bridges the gap between a C14 inlet and a C13 power cord in just half a metre. It suits IT technicians, AV installers, and anyone routing power to monitors, PCs, or studio equipment. Because the cable is short and purpose-built, it eliminates the excess slack that longer leads leave behind.

Key specs for the Lindy 0.5m IEC C14 to C13 Extension Cable, Black

Half a metre eliminates excess cable slack

Longer IEC leads often loop and bunch behind desks or in racks. This cable’s compact 0.5-metre length removes that problem at the source. In practice, it provides just enough reach to connect two pieces of equipment without adding unnecessary bulk. So you get a clean, organised setup with fewer tangles.

C14 male to C13 female for straightforward coupling

The male C14 connector plugs into a standard IEC inlet or PDU socket. The female C13 coupler accepts any C13-terminated power cord on the other end. This makes the cable a simple bridge between a power source and your equipment. Both connectors use a straight form factor, so they align neatly with recessed sockets.

VDE-certified for safety compliance

This Lindy cable carries VDE certification. That means it has been tested against recognised European safety standards for electrical accessories. When you are building or maintaining critical setups, certified components reduce the risk of faults. It is a detail worth verifying on any IEC cable you install.

Suits more than just PCs and monitors

While IEC extension cables are commonly used with desktop PCs, their uses extend further. Sound and lighting rigs often rely on C14 and C13 connections for distributing power. You can also use this lead with office peripherals and smaller appliances that accept an IEC inlet. Because it is only half a metre, it works well in tight AV racks where space is at a premium.

Before you order – compatibility checklist

• Confirm your equipment uses a C14 inlet and a C13 power cord (or vice versa for the receiving end).
• Check the distance between your power source and device — 0.5 m suits short, direct runs.
• Verify your PDU or wall outlet provides a C14 socket for the male end to plug into.
• Make sure the straight connector form factor fits your setup without bending the cable.
