Quick Picks
UK Mains & IEC Power Cables
UK mains and IEC power cables are used to connect everyday IT, AV, office and rack equipment to mains power.
Fairline supplies UK plug to IEC C13 cables, C5 clover leaf leads, C7 figure-of-eight cables, C15 hot condition leads, C19 power cables, C13 to C14 extensions and other common mains cable formats in a range of lengths and connector options.

Helpful Buying Tip
Check both ends of the cable before ordering. C13, C15, C19, C5 and C7 connectors are designed for different equipment types, and a similar-looking cable may not fit or may not be rated for the same use.
IEC Extensions, Splitters & Specialist Power Leads
IEC extension and splitter cables help route power between PDUs, rack equipment, chargers and compatible devices where a standard mains lead is not the right fit.
Fairline supplies C13 to C14 extensions, C14 to C13 leads, C14 to C15 hot condition cables, C20 to C13 cables, IEC splitter cables, Y cables, right angled power leads and other specialist power cable formats.
Best for:
- Rack and cabinet power connections
- Connecting equipment to PDUs
- Managing tight spaces behind equipment
- Extending existing IEC connections
- Powering multiple compatible devices
- Replacing damaged or incorrect IEC leads
Helpful Buying Tip
For rack and cabinet installations, check the plug type on the PDU and the socket type on the equipment. Right angled connectors can help where space is limited, but the cable exit direction should be checked before ordering.
Industrial, 16A & High-Current Power Cables
Industrial and high-current power cables are used where equipment requires higher-rated power connections or specific connector formats.
Fairline supplies 16A and 32A Commando extension cables, Commando to IEC C19 cables, C20 to C19 IEC power leads, UK mains to IEC C19 cables and related high-current power products for professional and equipment-led installations.

Helpful Buying Tip
Travel adapters and plug converters do not change voltage or equipment compatibility. Always check that the connected device is suitable for the local mains supply before use.
Power Connectors & Rewireable Plugs
Power connectors and rewireable plugs are used for repair, replacement and custom power cable assembly where the correct connector format is required.
Fairline supplies IEC C13, C14, C15, C19 and C20 connectors, UK plugs, Commando plugs and related power connector products for professional power and equipment applications.

Helpful Buying Tip
When choosing a PDU, check the socket type, number of outlets, mounting style, input plug, cable length, total rating and whether surge protection is required. Some PDU configurations may also be available with different socket and plug options.
Gang Sockets, Desk Power & Extension Leads
Gang sockets, desk power units and extension leads provide convenient mains access for offices, desks, meeting rooms, home working spaces and shared equipment areas.

Helpful Buying Tip
Avoid overloading extension leads or socket strips. Check the total power draw of connected equipment and use surge protection where additional equipment protection is required.
Power Protection & Surge Protection
Power protection products help reduce the risk of damage from power spikes and provide safer, more organised power access for connected equipment.
Fairline supplies surge protected extension leads, surge protected PDUs and related power protection products for office, rack and equipment environments.

Helpful Buying Tip
Surge protection is useful for many office and IT environments, but it is not the same as a UPS. If equipment needs battery backup during a power cut, a UPS may be required.
USB & Laptop Chargers
USB and laptop chargers provide convenient charging for phones, tablets, notebooks and USB-powered devices across offices, homes, classrooms, travel setups and shared charging areas.
Fairline supplies USB-A chargers, USB-C chargers, Power Delivery chargers, Quick Charge options, multi-port chargers, European plug chargers, travel chargers and laptop charging products.

Helpful Buying Tip
For laptops and higher-power devices, check the required wattage before ordering. USB-C Power Delivery chargers are available in different ratings, and a low-power charger may not be suitable for a notebook.
Which Power Product Do You Need?
The right power product depends on the device, connector type, current rating, cable length and installation environment.
For everyday office equipment, a UK mains to IEC C13 cable is often used. Laptops and smaller power supplies may use C5 clover leaf or C7 figure-of-eight leads. Higher-powered rack equipment may require C19 or C20 connections. Cabinets and server racks often use PDUs, while phones, tablets and modern laptops may require USB-A or USB-C chargers.

Power Cables, PDUs & Chargers FAQs
What is the difference between C13 and C19 power cables?
C13 power cables are commonly used for computers, monitors, switches and general IT equipment. C19 power cables are larger and are typically used for higher-powered equipment, PDUs, servers and rack installations.
What is a C5 clover leaf cable used for?
A C5 clover leaf cable is commonly used with laptop power supplies, notebook chargers and some compact electrical equipment.
What is a C7 figure-of-eight cable used for?
A C7 figure-of-eight cable is often used with smaller electronic devices, chargers, AV equipment and compact power supplies.
What is a PDU?
A PDU, or Power Distribution Unit, distributes power to multiple devices from a single input. PDUs are commonly used in server racks, network cabinets, AV racks and equipment installations.
How do I choose the right PDU?
Choose a PDU by checking the socket type, number of outlets, input plug, total rating, mounting style, cable length and whether surge protection is required.
Can I use a travel adapter with any device?
No. A travel adapter changes the plug format, but it does not necessarily change the voltage or make the device suitable for every country. Always check the device rating before use.
What wattage USB-C charger do I need?
The required wattage depends on the device. Phones and tablets may need lower power, while laptops often require a higher-wattage USB-C Power Delivery charger. Check the device specification before ordering.
Are surge protected extensions the same as a UPS?
No. Surge protected extensions help protect against power spikes, while a UPS provides battery backup during a power cut. Some installations may require both.
