Power cable - question

[lukk90]

Hello guys,

Do you know by any chance, what kind of power cable is on the photo and what is the value of it?

 

[RoA]

I don't know what brand it is/who cobbled it together but it has a Schuko European connector, could be Furutech genuine or fake at one end and a WattGate IEC the other. There are a lot of fake cables around these days so I would not pay much unless the seller has a receipt (and even then I would not pay too much for fancy power lead but that is just me).

Offer a tenner for it or, if you are the seller, put it on for a small fortune and hope someone will bite ...

Isn't it labelled?

It is only labeled with "AUDTRON CA/19.5+D HIGH SPEED", and resemble this, mine seems to have better connectors. https://www.ebay.pl/itm/32627623843...l4SsNb8x8zp5H0uG3x/QIk9w==|tkp:Bk9SR-6H-q77ZA

High speed? For a power cable?

Yup you need a high slew rate to cope with 50Hz! :0)

Mains power cables must be tested & IEC Certified

" High Speed " refers to how quick your insurers will Void your house insurance in event of a Fire


IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking connectors for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances of voltage not exceeding 250 V (a.c.) and rated current not exceeding 16 A.
] Different types of connector (distinguished by shape and size) are specified for different combinations of current, temperature and earthing requirements. Unlike IEC 60309 connectors, they are not coded for voltage; users must ensure that the voltage rating of the equipment is compatible with the mains supply. The standard uses the term coupler to encompass connectors on power cords and power inlets and outlets built into appliances.

The first edition of IEC 320 was published in 1970

I searched for "AUDTRON CA/19.5+D HIGH SPEED", on 4 different search engines and, came up with nothing, which seems rather odd. Find something else to buy, from a known, trustworthy brand.
