FAQs
What devices use IEC C5 connectors?
IEC C5 (cloverleaf) connectors are commonly found on laptop power adapters, small portable cooling devices, compact printers, and some external hard drives and networking equipment.
Is this cable suitable for Australian power outlets?
Yes. The cable features a standard 3-pin Australian plug designed for Australian 240V power outlets, making it fully compatible with all standard Australian residential and commercial electrical installations.
What does 7.5A rating mean?
The 7.5A rating indicates the maximum electrical current the cable can safely handle. Most laptop chargers and compact device adapters draw well below this limit, making this cable suitable for a wide range of portable electronics.
Can I use this cable with a power board or extension lead?
Yes, the 3-pin AU connector can be plugged into any standard Australian power outlet or power board. Always ensure the total current draw of all connected devices does not exceed the power board's rating.
What is the difference between IEC C5 and other IEC connectors?
The IEC C5 (cloverleaf) connector is smaller and lighter than larger connectors like C13 or C19, making it ideal for portable devices. Its distinctive three-leaf shape ensures correct polarity and prevents incorrect insertion.
How long is the warranty?
The 8ware RC-3084AU includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
