Reliable Power for Your Essential IT Equipment
A faulty or low-quality power cable can cause system instability or even hardware damage. Our Standard UK Plug to IEC C13 Cable is manufactured to meet strict British electrical standards (BS 1363), ensuring a safe and stable power connection for your most critical devices. Whether you are setting up a new PC tower, mounting a dual-monitor display, or connecting office printers, this cable provides the robust energy delivery your electronics demand.
Heavy-Duty Construction with Optimized Wire Gauges
Not all power cords are created equal. To guarantee maximum safety and prevent voltage drops over longer distances, we have optimized the internal copper wiring based on the cable length. The 1.5-meter version utilizes a solid 3x0.75mm² core, while the extended 3-meter and 5-meter versions are upgraded to a thicker 3x1.0mm² (3G1.0mm²) wire gauge. This heavy-duty construction ensures the cable remains cool to the touch, even when powering high-draw desktop power supplies (PSUs) or professional studio lighting.
Versatile Lengths for Clean Cable Management
Tired of messy cable tangles or struggling to reach distant wall outlets? Choose the perfect length for your specific setup:
- 1.5 Meter: The standard, clutter-free solution for desktop PCs and monitors located right next to a power strip.
- 3 Meter: Offers the flexibility needed for sit-stand desks or routing cables neatly behind large workstations.
- 5 Meter: The ultimate extra-long solution for home theaters, ceiling-mounted projectors, or remote studio equipment.
Pro Tip from Our Technicians
"When setting up a high-performance gaming PC or a heavy-duty laser printer, always pay attention to the wire gauge of your power cord. Using a thin cable for a long run can lead to overheating and power delivery issues. That’s why our 3m and 5m cables are upgraded to 3x1.0mm² cores—ensuring your high-wattage equipment gets clean, uninterrupted power. If you need a replacement fast, drop by our Sham Shui Po store for instant pickup!"

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
- Can I use this IEC C13 cable for a high-wattage PC power supply?Yes. For standard desktop PCs, the 1.5m (3x0.75mm²) cable is perfectly sufficient. For high-wattage gaming rigs or workstations, we highly recommend our 3m or 5m versions, which feature an upgraded 3x1.0mm² wire gauge designed to handle higher current loads safely without overheating.
- What is the difference between the 1.5m, 3m, and 5m wire gauges?To maintain safe power delivery over longer distances, the core wire thickness must increase. Our 1.5m cable uses a 3x0.75mm² core, while the 3m and 5m cables use a thicker 3x1.0mm² core. This prevents voltage drop and ensures stable power for your devices.
- Are these UK power cords available for immediate pickup in Hong Kong?Yes! If you are in the middle of a PC build or have a damaged cable, these power cords are readily in-stock at Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd. in Sham Shui Po. You can order online and pick it up instantly.
