VENTION 1.8m 3-Pin Power Cable - EU Schuko Plug to IEC C13 Connector

Description

The VENTION 3-pin power cable with a length of 1.8 metres (part number V-ZCGBAC) is a professional-grade electrical connectivity component, specifically selected for repair workshops, B2B IT fleet managers, and system integration. Designed to replace defective or undersized original power cords, it provides the essential and highly secure electrical link between the European AC mains network and high-end computer workstations, servers, or measuring instruments requiring stable power free from micro-interruptions.

In terms of electrical engineering, this cord is distinguished by its internal structure composed of three conductors with a precise cross-section of 0.75 mm². These conductors are cast in high-conductivity tinned pure copper, a metallurgical treatment that prevents premature oxidation, minimises line resistance, and drastically reduces the Joule effect during prolonged power sessions. The mains interface relies on a 90-degree angled Schuko male plug (CEE 7/7 standard), allowing for flush connection behind furniture or technical cabinets without straining the cable. The device interface uses a straight female 3-pin IEC 60320 C13 connector, configured to support a nominal current of 10A at a maximum voltage of 250V, ensuring the secure transit of continuous power up to 2500W.

The durability of the V-ZCGBAC part relies on an external sheath moulded in reinforced, flame-retardant polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This industrial-grade technical coating offers high resilience against mechanical abrasion, repeated angular twisting, and frequent accidental crushing on the floors of maintenance areas. The integrity of the physical earth connection is scrupulously respected along the entire length of the central conductor, allowing for the instant discharge of leakage currents and static electricity accumulated by the switching power supplies of desktop computers.

Workshop Advice & Usage

For the safety of your workshop infrastructure and to avoid any unjustified after-sales returns, ensure you never use this 0.75 mm² section cable (10A / 2500W max) to power industrial heating appliances or high-power soldering and desoldering stations. Before connecting to a client computer, visually inspect the female pins of the C13 connector to ensure they are not stretched or dirty, which could create micro-contact resistance, cause unexpected machine restarts, or local overheating of the moulded plastic. Never connect power strips in a cascade at the end of this cord in a professional environment.
