5m UK Power Lead Black - 3-Pin Plug to IEC C13 Kettle Lead
Please sign in to see pricing
495
£4.95
Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 03 and October 05.
This 5m black UK power lead provides a straightforward replacement or extended-length mains connection for compatible electrical equipment fitted with an IEC C14 power inlet.
Commonly referred to as a kettle lead, IEC lead or computer-style power lead, the cable connects a standard UK 3-pin mains socket to a compatible IEC C14 appliance inlet using an IEC C13 female connector.
The generous 5 metre cable length provides considerably more flexibility than a standard short equipment lead, making it useful where electrical equipment needs to be positioned further away from the available mains socket.
It is particularly useful as a replacement for lost or damaged power cables on compatible ballasts, controllers, environmental equipment and other electrical devices that use a standard IEC C14 inlet.
Why choose the 5m UK IEC power lead?
- 5 metre cable length - provides greater positioning flexibility than a typical short equipment lead.
- UK 3-pin plug - designed for connection to a standard UK mains socket.
- IEC C13 equipment connector - compatible with equipment using a matching IEC C14 inlet.
- Black cable - a practical, discreet finish for professional equipment installations.
- Useful replacement lead - ideal when an original compatible power cable has been lost or damaged.
- Suitable for compatible ballasts - a practical replacement for lighting equipment using the appropriate IEC C14 power inlet.
- Versatile connection - the IEC C13/C14 format is widely used across electrical and electronic equipment.
- Extra reach - useful when equipment cannot be positioned immediately beside the mains outlet.
- Ready-made power connection - avoids the need to assemble a separate mains cable where the equipment already uses a compatible IEC inlet.
UK plug to IEC C13 connection
The equipment end of this cable uses the familiar IEC C13 female connector. This connects to a matching IEC C14 male inlet fitted to the electrical equipment.
IEC C13/C14 connections are commonly found on computers, monitors, controllers, power supplies and many other electrical devices. They are also used by compatible lighting ballasts and horticultural equipment.
Before ordering, check the inlet on your equipment. A standard IEC C13 connector has a different profile from other IEC connectors such as C15 and C19, so physical compatibility should always be confirmed rather than relying on the general term "kettle lead".
5 metre cable for flexible equipment positioning
The extended 5m length is particularly useful in larger installations where equipment positioning is dictated by ventilation, lighting, irrigation or working-space requirements rather than the position of the nearest mains socket.
Additional cable length can help achieve a cleaner installation without placing unnecessary tension on the plug or equipment connector.
Route the cable carefully and avoid creating trip hazards, crushing the cable beneath equipment or running it across sharp edges. Any excess cable should be managed neatly without placing strain on either connector.
Replacement power lead for compatible equipment
Detachable IEC power cables are convenient because a damaged or misplaced lead can often be replaced without replacing the equipment itself.
This 5m lead can be used as a replacement where the equipment requires a UK mains plug to IEC C13 connection.
Always check the equipment manufacturer's electrical requirements and connector type before use. The physical connector fitting correctly does not by itself confirm that a cable is suitable for every appliance or electrical load.
Using an IEC power lead safely
Electrical power leads should be inspected periodically, particularly in busy working environments where cables may be moved, disconnected or routed around other equipment.
- Check that your equipment uses a compatible IEC C14 inlet before connection.
- Confirm that the lead is suitable for the electrical requirements of the equipment being powered.
- Do not use a lead with damaged insulation, exposed conductors or damaged connectors.
- Avoid crushing, sharply bending or placing excessive tension on the cable.
- Keep electrical connections protected from water and excessive moisture.
- Disconnect equipment safely before inspecting or replacing a power lead.
- Do not modify the plug or IEC connector to fit incompatible equipment.

5m UK IEC Power Lead FAQs
What connector is on the equipment end?
The equipment end uses an IEC C13 female connector, designed to connect to a compatible IEC C14 appliance inlet.
Is this a UK power lead?
Yes. The mains end is fitted with a UK 3-pin plug.
Is this what people call a kettle lead?
IEC C13 power cables are commonly referred to as kettle leads in the UK. Technically, however, IEC C13 is a specific connector type, so checking the equipment inlet is more reliable than relying on the informal name.
What equipment does an IEC C13 lead fit?
It fits compatible electrical equipment equipped with an IEC C14 inlet. This connector format is widely used on electrical and electronic equipment.
Can this be used as a replacement ballast power cable?
Yes, where the ballast uses a compatible IEC C14 power inlet and its electrical requirements are suitable for the lead.
Will this fit every ballast?
No. Ballasts and other equipment can use different power connections, so check the connector and electrical requirements before ordering.
Why choose a 5m power lead?
The additional cable length gives greater flexibility when equipment needs to be positioned further away from the available mains socket.
Is IEC C13 the same as IEC C14?
No. They are the two mating sides of the connection. The C13 is the female connector on the power lead, while the C14 is the corresponding inlet normally fitted to the equipment.
Is IEC C13 the same as IEC C15?
No. C13 and C15 are different IEC connector types. Always check the inlet fitted to your equipment before selecting a replacement power cable.
Can I use the lead if the cable insulation is damaged?
No. A power lead with damaged insulation, exposed conductors, damaged pins or a damaged connector should not be used.
Can the cable be used around water?
Electrical plugs and connections should be kept protected from water and excessive moisture. Installation should always follow the requirements of the equipment and the electrical environment.
How many leads are in an outer case?
The outer case quantity for this product is 25 leads.
