FAQ
What devices use a C5 female connector?
C5 female connectors, often called "cloverleaf" or "Mickey Mouse" connectors, are commonly found on laptops, monitors, projectors, and some small appliances. This cord allows you to power such devices from standard C14 outlets found on power strips, UPS units, or PDUs.
What is the maximum power this cord can handle?
This cord is rated for 10 amps of current at either 120V or 230V AC. At 120V, this supports up to 1200 watts; at 230V, it supports up to 2300 watts. Always ensure your connected device does not exceed these ratings for safe operation.
Can I use this cord internationally?
Yes, the dual voltage rating of 120V and 230V AC makes it suitable for use in North America, Europe, and other regions with those standard voltages. However, you may need a plug adapter to match local wall outlet shapes, as the cord has a C14 male connector designed for IEC inlets.
How long is the cord?
The cord measures 8 feet in length, which is approximately 2.44 meters. This provides extended reach compared to standard power cords, allowing more flexibility in positioning devices relative to power sources.
Is this cord grounded?
Yes, both the C14 male and C5 female connectors are 3-pin designs that include a grounding pin. This ensures proper electrical safety by providing a path for fault currents, which is especially important in environments with sensitive electronics.
What warranty does this product have?
AddOn provides a 1-year limited warranty for this power extension cord. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, giving you confidence in the product's durability and reliability for your power connectivity needs.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 120 V AC,230 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
