Critical Specifications

High-Current IT Power Delivery

This cable supplies mains power to equipment with high power demands. It is commonly used for PSUs, PDUs, servers, and workstations. The C19 coupler is rated for 16 A, supporting substantial power draw. The UK plug is rated for 13 A. Always verify your device’s power requirements match these ratings. This ensures safe and stable operation.

Straight Connectors for Easy Routing

Both connectors have a straight form factor. This design simplifies cable routing in racks and behind desks. It reduces strain on the ports compared to angled connectors. The moulded PVC housings provide strain relief. This helps prevent damage from repeated plugging and unplugging. The result is a durable connection for daily use.

2-Metre Length for Flexible Placement

The 2-metre length offers practical flexibility. It allows you to reach power outlets from floor-level racks or desk setups. You can avoid over-tightening cable runs. This reduces stress on both the cable and the equipment ports. Plan your cable management to maintain airflow and accessibility. The black colour blends discreetly with most IT hardware.

Office and Server Room Ready

The PVC connectors are moulded for a high-quality finish. This construction is suited for both office and server room environments. The cable is designed for reliable indoor use. It helps maintain a tidy and professional setup. However, always confirm your local environment suits PVC cables. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
