3M IEC C7 Figure of 8 Eight Mains Power Cable Lead - 3 Metre Long (Black)

Product Information

The 3788040 is a twin figure-8 Speaker Cable with black PVC with one side black ribbed sheath and bare copper strand one time inner conductor. This power cord is fully equipped with a 2-pin Europlug mains plug on one end and an IEC C7 socket on the other for connecting into a piece of equipment. This is exploited by high-powered computer power supplies, up to 1200 W output, and even some particularly efficient 1500 W output models [16] to use the more popular C14 input on products sold worldwide.

This kind of coupler is used by Roland Corporation for a couple of synthesizer and drum-computer models (for example: TR-909, D-50) and by Revox for many older models of their hi-fi equipment (for example, A76, A77, A78, B77, B225). Power cable assemblies are defined as any power cable which has had a connector installed prior to sale. Chumas (ed), Index of international standards, Volume 390 of NBS special publication, US Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards 1974, top of book page 11. The most common ones are "IEC connector" for the common C13 and C14, the "figure-8 connector" for C7 and C8, and "cloverleaf connector" or "Mickey Mouse connector" for the C5/C6.

This coupler is used for supplying power in IT applications where higher currents are required, for instance on high-power workstations and servers, power to uninterruptible power supplies, power to some power distribution units, large network routers, switches, blade enclosures, and similar equipment. The C17/C18 coupler is often used in audio applications where a floating ground is maintained to eliminate hum caused by ground loops. You’ve probably heard of power banks – handy portable power units, ideal for keeping your phone, headphones and other electronic devices charged up while you’re on the go. The pin temperature is determined by the design of the appliance, and its interior temperature, rather than by its ambient temperature. Unpolarized C7 connectors can be inserted into the polarized inlets; however, doing so might be a safety risk if the device is designed for polarized power.

It also defines an interconnection cord set as an "assembly consisting of one cable or cord fitted with one plug connector and one connector, intended for the interconnection between two electrical appliances". We supply the latest technology solutions to organisations of all sizes across education, public and private sectors, helping thousands of organisations along their own digital transformation journeys. These have largely been supplanted by cordless shavers with rechargeable batteries or corded shavers with an AC adapter. The general requirements for these items were incorporated into IEC 60320-1 and the standard sheets were moved to IEC 60320-3. Commonly known as a "figure-8", "infinity" or "shotgun" connector due to the shape of its cross-section, or less commonly, a Telefunken connector [21] after its originator.

Power cord sets utilizing a C13 connector and an E interconnection plug are commonplace in data centers to provide power from a PDU (power distribution unit) to a server. Whether you’re using a laptop with limited ports or you need to connect a device but don’t have the right connection available, USB hubs can solve all your problems! In addition the standards define further general criteria such as withdrawal forces, testing procedures, the minimum number of insertion cycles, and the number of flexings of cords. The mains appliance couplers are all engineered to connect an appliance via a power cord to mains power.
