Slim Specifications

Secure Sonic-Welded Connectors

The PVC connectors are sonically welded. This process creates a strong bond between the cable and the plug. It helps prevent internal wires from fraying or pulling loose. For you, this means a more reliable connection over time. It reduces the risk of intermittent power loss to your equipment.

Versatile Equipment Compatibility

This lead is commonly known as a kettle lead. It powers a wide range of devices with an IEC C13 inlet. For example, use it for PC base units, monitors, and printers. It also suits photocopiers and many other office appliances. However, always check your device’s input port matches the IEC C13 shape.

Practical 3-Metre Length

The 3-metre cable length offers flexible placement. You can position a desk PC away from a wall socket. It provides enough slack for tidy cable management behind furniture. Because it is not excessively long, it avoids excess clutter on the floor. This length suits most standard office and home desk configurations.

Professional Black Finish

The cable features a black PVC sheath. This colour blends discreetly with most computer hardware and office furniture. It helps maintain a clean, organised appearance. For professional environments, this subtle finish is often preferred over brighter colours.
