How to buy a cable by load and connection
Parameter | Which means | Recommendation |
Vein cross section | The thickness of the copper wire | 0.75-1.0 mm2 - for office, from 1.5 mm2 - for servers |
Rated current | Maximum load | 10 A (up to 2200 W) - standard, 16 A (up to 3500 W) - for high-power equipment |
Length | Distance to the outlet | 1.8-3 m is optimal. Do not take it with a large margin |
Key recommendations:
For computer and monitor - C13/C14, cross section 0.75 mm2, length 1.8 m.
For a laptop - C5/C6 or C7/C8 (see the connector of the charging unit).
For server or UPS - C19/C20, cross section from 1.5 mm2.
Operational and safety features
Do not overload the power cord. The total power of the devices should not exceed the permissible power (10 A 2200 W, 16 A 3500 W).
Do not pinch or bend the power cord. In places of fracture, the veins are frayed, which leads to a short circuit.
Inspect the power cord regularly. If the insulation is cracked or the wires are exposed, replace it. It is forbidden to use a damaged power cord.
Plug it in all the way. Loose contact causes the power cord to spark and heat up.
Store without tension. Do not tighten the knots - use Velcro.
