In the ‘C13 to C14, black’ category, specialist retailers, system integrators and installers will find reliable DINIC power extension cables for clean power extension in accordance with IEC 60320 – ideal for IT/network and AV installations as well as industrial applications.
MAG GmbH supplies these black C13/C14 extension cables in practical lengths and designs, e.g. as short adaptors (30 cm), with 90° angled plugs or with a larger conductor cross-section for more demanding environments.
When choosing a C13/C14 extension lead, it is not just the connectors that are important. Depending on the installation, you should also consider the cable length, conductor cross-section, plug orientation, approval status and any required protection for the connection.
The classic solution for power connections between PDUs, UPSs, power distribution units and equipment with an IEC C14 input.
View example: 1.80 m →Where installation depth is limited, angled C13 connectors can make it easier to route cables behind servers, switches, monitors and other equipment.

For applications where a larger conductor cross-section is specifically required, DINIC C13/C14 extension cables with 3 × 1.5 mm² are available.
View the 1.5 mm² version →For applications where the C13 connection requires additional mechanical protection against accidental disconnection.
View the lockable version →These terms are often used interchangeably in everyday language. For a standard C13/C14 extension lead for low-voltage equipment, the following applies:
The conductor cross-section is a technical selection criterion and should always be considered in conjunction with cable length, electrical specifications, connectors and the details of the specific product. A larger cross-section does not automatically mean that every application may be operated at a higher power rating – the permissible values of the complete connection are decisive.
| Cross-sectional area | Classification | Selection guide |
|---|---|---|
| 0.75 mm² | Compact standard designs and short to medium connection lengths | Please refer to the technical data for this item |
| 1.0 mm² | Available in various longer and professional versions | Select according to length and application |
| 1.5 mm² | Larger conductor cross-section for additional cross-sectional reserve | The overall connector and product data remain authoritative |

Various securing options are available for C13/C14 connections. SecureSleeve slip-on sleeves can be retrofitted to existing connectors to enhance their holding force; IEC-LOCK offers a mechanical locking mechanism, depending on the version.
Guide to safe IEC power connections →If different power paths, racks, groups of equipment or supply areas need to be quickly distinguished visually, coloured C13/C14 cables can aid documentation and maintenance.
Coloured C13/C14 extension leads →It is an IEC 60320 extension cable with a C14 plug and a C13 socket. It is used, for example, to connect a C13 outlet on a PDU or UPS to a device with a C14 input.
Typical applications include server and network cabinets, data centres, PDU and UPS systems, office and workstation equipment, AV equipment, laboratories, test equipment and industrial installations.
A 90° plug can be useful where there is limited installation depth behind equipment. It allows for organised cable routing and reduces the space required directly behind the equipment connection.
A 1.5 mm² version is a good option if the installation specifically requires a larger conductor cross-section and additional cross-sectional reserve. For the electrical design, the permissible specifications of the complete cable and the plug connection remain decisive.
Depending on the application, retrofittable SecureSleeve slip-on sleeves, IEC-LOCK connections or mechanical locking mechanisms on the device itself may be suitable. The appropriate solution depends on the existing connector and the desired level of protection.
Yes. The DINIC range includes separate categories for halogen-free LSZH versions and C13/C14 cables with various international approvals.
Do you require a different length, a specific conductor cross-section, a particular plug orientation, labelling, packaging or recurring quantities? MAG GmbH supports commercial customers with project-specific cable and adapter solutions.
