Kettle power cable

[The_Mowgs]

Does anyone know where I can buy one of these power cables for my tv? The standard one is a bit to short. I need one that's about 2.5m long

Thanks

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's used to calling it a kettle cord

thx bio.

Just re-wire one. Or use an extension. I don't think 2.5+ will be very easy to buy. You get extensions for them though...old CRTs used to those. male on one side female on the other.

get extensions. I buy the 3 in 1 kettle plugs. 3 outlets to 1 power. Works great, one plug for PC, monitor and printer. Home theatres too - Tv, receiver & gaming devie, makes cabling a bit tidier.

Try your local Matrix Warehouse

Most computer shops will stock them, also PnP, Checkers, Game, Makro, etc.

You could also just buy the "extension" cable that was previously used to connect the PC to the monitors..

Its actually incorrect to call it a "kettle plug" since that is a different shape. The high temperature version of the plug that is used on devices like kettles has a notch in the bottom and is officially called a C15.

The one you want is the C13.

Esquire has up to 5m cables, I believe.

Unbranded Dedicated Power Cable, 2M - R35

Shipping: R75

There's also this: Unbranded Extension Power Cable, 2M - R30

I don't really want to get the connectors as I use the cable for my tv and I need to hide it inside cable conduit so it needs to be only one long wire.

They only have a 2m one

They only have a 2m one

If you can't use the extender to get the desired length, wire your own. Even comes in a handy 90°

if you are in JHB give National Luna a call, they ship 3m cables with their fridges if I'm not mistaken.

How long can you make these cables. I need one that is about 25 metres. Can you buy them? I don't want to go through the hassle of rewiring my own.

I also assume that I want the C15. It is going to supply power to a ceiling mounted projector, so it's going to lie above the ceiling where it can become quite warm.

Inside its a regular power cord, so can even cut and join, but flip dude 25 meters?
buy an extension card and plug it in
