3M IEC C7 Figure of 8 Eight Mains Power Cable Lead - 3 Metre Long (Black)

Product Information

Also known as the “Figure-8” or “Shotgun” connector, very widely used on an array of devices such as TVs, Blu-ray players, and laptop chargers. This is polarised. There is an un-polarised version of the C7 that has a flat edge on one side of the figure-8 shape. The C7 connector is typically used on a mains cable; the C8 connector is used on the device / power supply. View the range of Lindy IEC C7 mains cables here. Appliances can be used in another country easily, with a simple change of the power supply cord (including a connector and a country-specific plug). The power supply cord can be replaced easily if damaged, because it is a standardized part that can be unplugged and re-inserted. Safety hazards, maintenance expenditure and repairs are minimized. Very common on personal computers and peripherals. Commonly referred to as a "kettle cord" or "kettle lead", [17] [18] but kettles in countries using 120V require the C15/C16. Appliance inlet: "part of the appliance coupler integrated as a part of an appliance or incorporated as a separate part in the appliance or equipment or intended to be fixed to it". Interconnection couplers are similar to appliance couplers, but with the gender roles reversed. Specifically, the female appliance outlet is built into a piece of equipment, while the male plug connector is attached to a cord. They are identified by letters, not numbers, with one letter identifying the plug connector, and the alphabetical next letter identifying the mating appliance outlet. For example, an E plug fits into an F outlet. Beginning with an amendment published in 2022, three of the commonly used high temperature variants have been standardized as types M–R. [26]

One arbitrarily chosen example of a 1500W PSU with a C14 input is the Enermax MAXREVO 1500 W 80+ Gold. It manages to fit within the 15A input current limit because of its 80 Plus gold efficiency. In fact, the same cord can be an alternative for most Xbox models like the Xbox One S/X, PS3, PS3/PS4 Slim, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Each of these game consoles cords can suitably with the digital edition’s 340 Watts and the 350 watts of the standard PS5. How much power does my PS5 require? To get a perfect fit while elongating your power cables, try using the C7 connector with a squared-off design. Although, you can use the ones that aren’t squared-off, like the ones used by the PS4 and PS5. Will the PS4 power cord work with the PS5? The HDMI 2.1 port has a bandwidth of 48Gbps, permitting the cable to transfer data much faster than the standard port. Earthed, 16A, polarized. This coupler is used for supplying power in IT applications where higher currents are required, for instance on high-power workstations and servers, power to uninterruptible power supplies, power to some power distribution units, large network routers, switches, blade enclosures, and similar equipment. This connector can also be found on high-current medical equipment. It is rectangular and has pins parallel to the long axis of the coupler face.IEC 60320-2-3: Couplers with a degree of protection higher than IPX0 [7] specifies couplers with some degree of liquid ingress protection (IP). In its second edition published in 2018, the standard sheets were moved to IEC 60320-3.

A C8B inlet type is defined by the standard for use by dual-voltage appliances; it has three pins and can hold a C7 connector in either of two positions, allowing the user to select voltage by choosing the position the connector is inserted. [22] In rare cases, the power cable may be damaged or non-functional upon arrival. Don’t panic. Immediately notify Sony of this misfortune, and you will be attended to because of the product’s warranty. Nonetheless, this would only work if you immediately reach out and if the AC cable is nonfunctional as a manufacturing defect. Here’s some friendly advice- having an extra C7 connector cable will do you a lot of good. Using a different power cord for your PS4 The PlayStation 5 has an inbuilt HDMI 2.1 port located at the console’s rear. That should tell you that it supports using an HDMI cable because of its advanced screen resolution capacities. Gaming on the PS5 with an HDMI cable connection gives you an optimal experience. Category 7a cable was likely originally introduced as a future-proofing step for the anticipated wider uptake of a 40 Gbps Ethernet standard - however, in 2016 a new ratification meant that this responsibility was effectively handed over to Cat8 cables specified to 2000 MHz. As a result, cable Cat7a as a standalone revision isn’t officially supported by very much equipment to run at significantly faster speeds than Cat7 versions, although speed boosts may be possible in certain applications. In addition to the connections within the standards, as mentioned, there are possible combinations between appliance couplers and IEC interconnection couplers. Fitted with a flexible cord, the components become interconnection cords to be used for connecting appliances or for extending other interconnection cords or power supply cords.Additionally, many people first bought into Ethernet connectivity fairly early on in the home hub era (around the Cat5 cable revision or earlier), and naturally look to the latest versions when needing to replace or upgrade older cables. Those planning to wire a smart home today, for example, might typically gravitate towards Cat7 and Cat7a as a future-proofing measure, anticipating the continued acceleration of home hardware and connection speeds over the coming years. International Standardized Appliance Connectors (IEC-60320) Reference Chart Includes diagrams of all couplers, their rated current, equipment class, and temperature rating. Connectors are also classified according to the method of connecting the cord, either as rewirable connectors or non-rewirable connectors. For use in high-temperature settings (for example, electric kettle). Also used in some network appliances that provide PoE.
