Core Cable Dimensions & Connectors

Deploying the Lindy 2m IEC C14 Male to IEC C5 Female Straight Mains Power Cable – Black in Server Racks

IT technicians frequently need to run laptops, diagnostic tools, or compact network appliances directly inside server cabinets. Standard UK mains plugs consume excessive space on power strips. This cable solves the problem by mating directly with standard IEC C13 outlets found on data centre PDUs and UPS hardware. Therefore, you gain a dependable, secure feed without using multiple bulky adaptors.

Clean Workstation and Stage Cabling with a 2 Metre Reach

A 2-metre run gives you ample reach for clean routing through cable arms, desk grommets, and AV racks. Because both connectors feature a straight form factor, the cable passes smoothly through tight trunking. It is ideal for event staging, audio-video setups, and broadcast desks where equipment requires a stable IEC C5 connection.

High-Grade SVHC-Free Build for Professional Installations

Reliability is vital when powering critical field equipment. Lindy manufactures these cables with premium brass connectors engineered for low contact resistance. Furthermore, the internal brass pins maintain a lead content well below 0.1%, making the assembly fully SVHC-free. The robust black jacket protects the inner conductors across demanding commercial environments.

Practical Checks Before Purchase

• Confirm your laptop power brick or hardware requires a 3-pin IEC C5 cloverleaf connector.
• Confirm your power source or PDU provides standard IEC C13 output sockets.
• Confirm a 2-metre straight-connector run gives adequate slack for your installation layout.
• Confirm the operating environment remains completely dry and indoors.
