Product Description
Overview
The KETTLE-LEAD-1.8M is an IEC C13 kettle lead terminating in a standard C13 connector, the rectangular three-pin socket found on DVRs, NVRs, PC power supplies, monitors and printers. On install jobs, this is the lead that connects a rack-mounted recorder to its wall-side power source.
Length and routing
At 1.8 metres, the lead gives enough slack to route from a wall socket to equipment that isn't mounted directly adjacent — relevant when a recorder sits inside a cabinet or rack away from the nearest power point.
Build
Construction is built for durability under regular use, so it holds up to repeated plugging and unplugging during install, testing and maintenance cycles without the connection degrading.
Compatibility note
Fit is determined by the connector, not the brand: any device with a C13 inlet — DVR, NVR, monitor, printer or PC — will accept this lead. Confirm the recorder's power inlet is C13 before specifying this part on a job sheet.
Where it matters on-site
A stable IEC connection is worth checking on any device with continuous recording duties, since a loose or unreliable connector can contribute to power interruptions on kit that needs uninterrupted supply, such as a CCTV recorder.
