Lindy 2m IEC C14 Male to C15 Female Hot Condition Power Cable, Black

Lindy Hot Condition Power Cable – Rated to 120 °C for Demanding Setups

Need a reliable internal power extension for a server or high-load workstation? The Lindy 2m IEC C14 Male to C15 Female Hot Condition Power Cable, Black bridges a standard C14 inlet to a C15-rated “kettle” socket. It suits setups that route power through a UPS or PDU under sustained thermal load. The C15 coupler is rated to 120 °C, giving you the thermal headroom these environments demand.

At two metres, it provides enough reach for tidy cable management inside a rack. The black PVC jacket and nickel-plated contacts round out a well-built package.

Core Technical Details

Why the C15 “Kettle” Connector Rating Matters

Standard C13 connectors handle most desktop PCs and monitors without issue. However, equipment that draws sustained power—such as servers, high-end workstations or UPS units—can push connector temperatures higher. The C15 coupler in this cable is rated to 120 °C, giving you the thermal headroom these setups demand. In practice, that means a more secure connection under load and less risk of thermal wear over time.

Copper Conductors for Consistent Delivery Over the Full Length

This cable uses three solid copper cores at a 1 mm² cross-section. Copper offers low resistance and dependable conductivity, which matters over a two-metre run. Because each conductor is rated for 10 A at 250 V, you get stable power delivery to your equipment without unnecessary loss.

Using the Lindy 2m IEC C14 Male to C15 Female Hot Condition Power Cable, Black with UPS and PDU Systems

This cable is purpose-built for bridging a C14 power inlet to a C15 socket. For example, you might use it to extend the internal connection between a UPS output and a rack-mounted server. It also suits high-draw monitors and workstations that need the higher-temperature C15 interface. The two-metre length strikes a good balance between reach and cable clutter.

PVC Jacket and Nickel-Plated Contacts Built to Last

The outer jacket is made from PVC, which resists abrasion and stays flexible in tight spaces. Both connectors are straight-form, so they seat firmly into rear-panel IEC inlets without awkward angles. Nickel-plated contacts add a layer of corrosion resistance. Over repeated plug-in cycles, this helps maintain a clean and reliable electrical connection.

What You Receive

• 1 × Lindy 2 m IEC C14 to C15 power extension cable (black)
• Supplied in a protective polybag

Before You Order

• Confirm your UPS or PDU provides standard IEC C13 outlets for the source end.
• Check that the connected device accepts a C15 female connector for the hot-condition link.
• Verify the cable path does not exceed two metres, as this is a fixed length.
• Ensure your rack or desk layout allows straight-form connectors without sharp bends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between C13 and C15 connectors?

A: C15 connectors are rated to 120 °C, while C13 connectors are rated to 70 °C. This makes C15 suitable for higher-temperature applications.

Q: Can I plug this cable directly into a wall socket?

A: No. This is an IEC-to-IEC extension. The C14 end connects to a C13 outlet on a UPS or PDU, and the C15 end connects to your device.

Q: What type of cable does this product use?

A: It uses H05VV-F3G cable with three 1 mm² copper conductors and a PVC outer jacket.

Q: Is this cable compliant with UK and EU regulations?

A: Yes. It holds CE, RoHS and REACH certification, meeting current environmental and safety standards.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: The cable operates between −10 °C and 60 °C. For storage, it tolerates −20 °C to 70 °C.
