⚡ At a Glance
- • Electrical Safety: 250V 13A fuse with overcurrent protection for short-circuit scenarios
- • Best for: Home and small office setups needing longer reach for PCs, monitors and printers
- • Not ideal for: Appliances that do not use an IEC C13 connector or require outdoor-rated cabling
Five-metre BS1363 to IEC C13 lead fitted with a 13A fuse and overcurrent protection. Constructed with 3x0.75mm2 pure copper conductors and an H05VV-F PVC jacket.
Flexible Placement – thanks to five-metre cable length
Five-metre length provides extended reach from a BS1363 wall outlet to IEC C13-equipped equipment, using 3x0.75mm2 conductor cores and a 6.8mm outer diameter for tidy routing.
Long reach allows monitors, PCs and printers to be placed where needed without relying on extension blocks. Ideal for rearranging desks or positioning AV equipment away from sockets.
Equipment Protection – with 13A fuse and overcurrent protection
A 250V 13A fuse is fitted in the BS1363 plug alongside overcurrent protection, designed to blow under short-circuit or excessive current to interrupt the supply.
Built-in fuse reduces risk of damage when a fault occurs, giving confidence for everyday electronic equipment. Particularly useful where devices share sockets or are moved frequently.
Durable Construction – with pure copper conductors and H05VV-F jacket
Conductors use pure copper at 0.75mm2 cross-section, while the jacket meets H05VV-F specification in PVC and carries a VW-1 flame rating with a 3℃ to 60℃ temperature range.
Robust build supports regular handling and indoor routing under desks. Flame-rated jacket and specified temperature tolerance suit typical household and small office use.
