Product Description
The KETTLE-LEAD-2M-Extension-Cable is a 2m UK mains lead terminating in a BS1363 fused plug and an IEC C13 female connector — the standard kettle-lead format used to power rack and desktop IT/CCTV equipment.
Key specs
- Cable: H05VV-F 3-core, 0.75mm², PVC insulated
- Rating: typically up to 10A at 250VAC, roughly 2300W maximum load
- Plug end: moulded BS1363 UK plug fitted with a 5A or 10A fuse depending on variant
- Socket end: moulded IEC C13 female connector with strain relief
- Length: 2m — longer reach than a 1–1.5m lead for PDU-to-equipment runs
- Approval: BSi/ASTA approved
- Sheath: black PVC, for indoor use
Where it fits
Terminating in IEC C13, the KETTLE-LEAD-2M-Extension-Cable connects to any device with an IEC C14 inlet: NVRs, DVRs, network switches, servers, monitors and standalone PSUs. The 2m length suits vertical or horizontal PDU-to-equipment routing in data racks and control rooms, giving extra slack when a PDU is mounted at the rear of a cabinet and the target device sits mid- or upper-U. It's equally usable for a straightforward wall-socket-to-cabinet run in a comms room.
Build notes
Both ends are individually moulded rather than crimped, which is what gives this class of lead its mechanical durability under repeated rack handling. The fitted fuse rating (5A or 10A) varies by variant, so check the specific unit against the load being powered before deployment.

What is the maximum load rating?
It is typically rated up to 10A at 250VAC, roughly 2300W maximum, depending on the fitted 5A or 10A fuse variant.
What cable and approval standard does it use?
It uses H05VV-F 3-core 0.75mm² PVC insulated cable and is BSi/ASTA approved.
Why choose the 2m length over a shorter lead?
The 2m length gives extra reach for PDU-to-equipment routing when a PDU is mounted at the rear of a rack and equipment sits mid- or upper-U.
