5M IEC C7 to IEC C14 Power Cable

Introduction

The IEC C7 power cable, also known as a "figure-8" cable, is a type of power cord commonly used for small appliances such as radios, DVD players, and some laptop power adapters. It has a two-pin connector that plugs into the device and a standard IEC C8 connector that plugs into the wall outlet.

The name "figure-8" comes from the shape of the connector, which resembles the number 8 when viewed from the side. The cable itself is typically lightweight and flexible, making it easy to use in tight spaces or when traveling.

It's important to note that IEC C7 power cables are designed for low-power devices and should not be used with appliances that require high levels of power, such as desktop computers or home theatre systems. In such cases, a higher-rated cable with a larger connector, such as an IEC C13 or C19, should be used.

The IEC C14 to IEC C7 power cable typically has a C14 connector on one end and a C7 connector on the other end. It allows devices with a C7 female power socket to be connected to an IEC C13 socket which is often found on PDU power strips, surge protectors, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
