A mains power lead designed to supply TVs, consoles and printers with a secure BS1363 plug and IEC C7 figure-8 connector. KC CABLE TV Power Cable suits anyone mounting a screen or moving media kit away from sockets, making cable runs neater and more practical. Does the build and correct 5A fuse give the safe, hassle-free swap-in performance needed?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Electrical Safety: 250V 5A fuse, overcurrent protection and pure copper 0.75mm² conductors
- • Best for: Users mounting TVs or relocating consoles and printers where sockets are distant
- • Not ideal for: Appliances that require an earthed three-pin connection or draw above 5A
BS1363 to IEC C7 figure-8 mains lead with 3m length and PVC jacket. Temperature range 3°C to 60°C with VW-1 fire rating.
Reach and tidy installs - with a 3m cable length
Three-metre length reduces the need for extension leads and allows sockets to remain out of sight. PVC jacket and a 3.5×5.7mm outer diameter keep the run flexible yet manageable.
Longer runs suit wall-mounted TVs and media cabinets, removing the need to reposition sockets. Extra length helps keep the installation tidy without extra connectors.
Safer connections - thanks to a 250V 5A fuse and overcurrent protection
An inline 5A fuse interrupts power during short circuits or excessive current, preventing damage to connected equipment. Pure copper 0.75mm² conductors minimise resistance for stable power delivery.
Fuse protection matches many original leads, reducing risk of electrical faults and offering a direct replacement option. Stable conductors help keep devices running reliably under normal load.
Durability for daily use - with VW-1 rated PVC jacket and pure copper cores
H03VVH2-F PVC jacket provides flexibility while meeting VW-1 flame test standards. Pure copper cores offer consistent conductivity and mechanical resilience compared with cheaper materials.
Tough outer sheathing and solid conductors stand up to regular handling behind TVs and consoles. The result is fewer replacements and steadier performance over time.
