2m UK Power Lead Black - 3-Pin Plug to IEC C13 Kettle Lead
Please sign in to see pricing
295
£2.95
Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 03 and October 05.
This 2m black UK power lead provides a straightforward replacement mains connection for compatible electrical equipment fitted with an IEC C14 power inlet.
Commonly referred to as a kettle lead, IEC lead or computer power lead, the cable connects a standard UK 3-pin mains socket to compatible equipment using an IEC C13 female connector.
The practical 2 metre cable length provides useful reach without the excess cable associated with longer leads, making it well suited to lighting installations, controllers and other compatible electrical equipment.
It is particularly useful as a replacement for lost or damaged ballast power cables where the equipment uses a standard IEC C14 inlet.
Why choose the 2m UK IEC power lead?
- 2 metre cable length - practical reach for equipment positioned close to the mains supply.
- UK 3-pin plug - designed for connection to a standard UK mains socket.
- IEC C13 equipment connector - connects to equipment fitted with a compatible IEC C14 inlet.
- Black cable - discreet and practical for professional installations.
- Ideal replacement lead - useful when an original compatible cable has been lost or damaged.
- Suitable for compatible ballasts - useful for lighting equipment using the appropriate IEC connection.
- Widely used connector format - IEC C13/C14 connections are found across a broad range of electrical equipment.
- Useful spare - practical to keep available for replacement or maintenance requirements.
UK plug to IEC C13 connection
The equipment end of the lead uses an IEC C13 female connector. This mates with the corresponding IEC C14 inlet commonly fitted to electrical equipment.
This connector format is widely used across computers, monitors, power supplies, controllers and compatible lighting equipment, including some ballasts.
Always check the inlet fitted to your equipment before ordering. IEC connectors are available in several different formats and a similar-looking connector does not necessarily mean the lead is suitable for the equipment.
Practical 2 metre cable length
At 2 metres long, this cable provides a useful balance between reach and cable management. It is long enough for many equipment installations without leaving large amounts of unnecessary cable to manage.
The additional reach can also help avoid placing unnecessary tension on either the mains plug or the equipment connector.
Route the cable carefully so that it is protected from sharp edges, crushing and excessive tension, and avoid positioning it where it could create a trip hazard.
Replacement power lead for compatible equipment
Equipment using a detachable IEC power connection can normally have the lead replaced independently if the original cable becomes lost or damaged.
This 2m cable provides a replacement UK mains connection for compatible equipment requiring an IEC C13 connector.
Always confirm both the connector type and the electrical requirements of the equipment before use. A connector physically fitting the appliance does not by itself confirm suitability for every electrical load or application.
Power lead installation & safety
- Confirm that the equipment uses a compatible IEC C14 inlet before connection.
- Check that the lead is suitable for the electrical requirements of the equipment.
- Do not use a cable with damaged insulation, exposed conductors or damaged connectors.
- Avoid sharply bending, crushing or placing excessive tension on the cable.
- Keep electrical plugs and connections protected from water and excessive moisture.
- Disconnect equipment safely before inspecting or replacing its power lead.
- Never modify the plug or IEC connector to fit incompatible equipment.

2m UK IEC Power Lead FAQs
What connector is on the equipment end?
The equipment end uses an IEC C13 female connector, designed to mate with a compatible IEC C14 inlet.
Does it have a UK plug?
Yes. The mains end is fitted with a UK 3-pin plug.
Is this commonly called a kettle lead?
Yes. IEC C13 power cables are commonly described as kettle leads in the UK, although IEC C13 is the more precise connector description.
What equipment does an IEC C13 power lead fit?
It connects to compatible electrical equipment fitted with an IEC C14 inlet.
Can I use it as a replacement ballast power cable?
Yes, where the ballast uses a compatible IEC C14 inlet and the power lead is suitable for the ballast's electrical requirements.
Will it fit every lighting ballast?
No. Different ballasts can use different power connections, so check the equipment connector before ordering.
What is the difference between IEC C13 and C14?
The C13 is the cable-mounted connector on this power lead. It connects to the corresponding C14 inlet fitted to compatible equipment.
Why choose a 2m power lead?
A 2m cable provides useful reach while remaining relatively easy to route and manage around electrical equipment.
Can this replace a lost IEC power cable?
Yes, provided the original equipment uses the same compatible IEC connection and the replacement lead meets its electrical requirements.
Can I use a damaged power lead?
No. Do not use a lead if the cable insulation, mains plug or equipment connector shows signs of damage.
Should the connections be kept dry?
Yes. Electrical plugs and connections should be protected from water and excessive moisture and installed appropriately for the operating environment.
How many 2m power leads are in an outer case?
The outer case quantity for this product is 50 leads.
