3m IEC Extension Cable - C14 Male to C13 Female Power Extension Lead
Please sign in to see pricing

£2.95
Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 01 and November 03.
The 3m IEC Extension Cable provides an additional three metres of reach between compatible IEC power connections, making it particularly useful for extending reflector, lighting and equipment power cables.
The cable uses an IEC male to IEC female configuration, allowing an existing compatible IEC power connection to be extended when the original cable does not provide sufficient reach.
With an IEC C14 male connector at one end and an IEC C13 female connector at the other, it uses the familiar IEC connection found across a wide range of lighting and electrical equipment.
The 3 metre cable length provides useful additional reach while remaining relatively easy to route and manage around equipment installations.
Why choose the 3m IEC Extension Cable?
- 3 metre extension - adds useful additional reach to a compatible IEC power connection.
- IEC C14 male connector - connects to a compatible IEC C13 power connection.
- IEC C13 female connector - connects to equipment fitted with a compatible IEC C14 inlet.
- Male-to-female configuration - designed specifically for extending an existing IEC power cable.
- Ideal for reflector and lighting connections - useful where additional cable length is required between compatible components.
- Black cable - practical and discreet for equipment installations.
- Widely used IEC format - C13/C14 connections are used across numerous electrical and electronic devices.
- Flexible equipment positioning - allows compatible equipment to be positioned further from its existing power connection.
IEC C14 male to C13 female connection
This extension cable uses an IEC C14 male plug at one end and an IEC C13 female connector at the other.
The C13 female connector is designed to connect to the corresponding IEC C14 inlet found on compatible electrical equipment. The male C14 end can connect to a compatible C13 connector on an existing power cable or suitable power source.
The result is an additional three metres between the existing power connection and the equipment, without needing to replace the complete power cable.
Always check the connectors fitted to your equipment before ordering. Several IEC connector formats exist and similar-looking connectors are not necessarily interchangeable.
Ideal for extending reflector & equipment power cables
The 3m IEC extension lead is particularly useful in lighting installations where the existing reflector or equipment cable does not provide sufficient reach.
It allows compatible components to be positioned more freely while maintaining a detachable IEC connection between the power supply and equipment.
The same C13/C14 connection format is also widely used by compatible ballasts, controllers, computers, monitors, power supplies and other electrical equipment.
Always confirm both physical connector compatibility and electrical suitability for the equipment being connected.
3 metres of additional cable reach
The 3m length provides a useful middle ground where a standard equipment cable is too short but a longer 5m extension is unnecessary.
Additional reach can make equipment positioning easier and helps prevent shorter cables from being stretched or placed under unnecessary tension.
Route the extension carefully and avoid sharp bends, crushing, excessive tension or contact with sharp edges. Any excess cable should be managed neatly without placing strain on the IEC connections.
IEC extension cable vs standard UK power lead
This product is an IEC extension cable, rather than a conventional UK mains power lead.
A standard UK IEC power lead normally has a UK 3-pin plug at one end and an IEC C13 female connector at the other.
This extension cable instead uses an IEC C14 male connector and IEC C13 female connector. It is intended to extend an existing compatible IEC power connection rather than plug directly into a standard UK wall socket.
Installation & electrical safety
- Confirm both IEC connector types are compatible before connecting the cable.
- Check that the extension is suitable for the electrical requirements of the connected equipment.
- Do not use a cable with damaged insulation or damaged connectors.
- Avoid crushing, sharply bending or placing excessive tension on the cable.
- Keep electrical connections protected from water and excessive moisture.
- Route the cable carefully to minimise trip hazards and accidental disconnection.
- Disconnect equipment safely before inspecting or changing power connections.
- Never modify an IEC connector to make it fit incompatible equipment.

3m IEC Extension Cable FAQs
What connectors does the cable use?
It uses an IEC C14 male connector at one end and an IEC C13 female connector at the other.
Is this a C13 to C14 IEC extension lead?
Yes. It uses the standard C13/C14 IEC connection, with a C13 female equipment connector and C14 male plug.
Can this extend a reflector power cable?
Yes, where the reflector or lighting equipment uses compatible IEC C13/C14 connections and the cable is electrically suitable for the equipment.
Can it extend an existing kettle lead?
Yes, where the existing power lead terminates in a compatible IEC C13 connector and the equipment uses an IEC C14 inlet.
Does this cable plug directly into a UK wall socket?
No. This is an IEC-to-IEC extension cable. It does not have a UK 3-pin mains plug.
Can it be used with a compatible lighting ballast?
Yes, provided the ballast uses the appropriate IEC connection and the cable is suitable for its electrical requirements.
What is the difference between IEC C13 and IEC C14?
The C13 is the female connector commonly found on an IEC power cable, while the C14 is the corresponding male connection commonly fitted to equipment or an extension lead.
Why use a 3m IEC extension lead?
It provides additional positioning flexibility where the original equipment or reflector power cable is too short, without introducing the extra cable length of a 5m extension.
Is this the same as a standard UK power lead?
No. A standard UK IEC power lead has a UK 3-pin plug at the mains end. This cable has an IEC C14 male connector and is specifically intended as an extension.
Can IEC C13/C14 cables be used with any electrical equipment?
No. The equipment must have compatible connectors and the extension cable must be suitable for its electrical requirements.
Should the IEC connections be kept dry?
Yes. Electrical connections should be protected from water, irrigation spray and excessive moisture unless the complete installation is specifically designed and rated for those conditions.
How many 3m IEC extension cables are in an outer case?
The outer case quantity is 40 cables.
