UK power cable, Type G to C19, for servers, UPSs and data centres

A UK power cable, Type G to IEC C19, connects a British Type G mains socket to equipment fitted with an IEC 60320 C20 mains socket. C19/C20 connections are primarily used where, compared to standard C13/C14 connections, higher electrical requirements apply.

Typical applications include servers, storage systems, UPS units, PDU power distribution units, high-power network components and professional technical systems. The DINIC version offered in this category is rated for a current of up to 13 A.

IEC C19 and C20 – which fit together?

IEC C19 refers to the plug on the power cable. The corresponding socket on the device is an IEC 60320-C20 device input.

Before purchasing, the appliance connection, rated current and electrical requirements of the system should be checked.

When is C19 used instead of C13?

C19/C20 is frequently used with higher-power devices, where the typical C13/C14 connection does not provide the appropriate connection or power rating.

C19 is particularly common in servers, UPS systems, PDU power distribution units, storage systems and professional IT infrastructure.

C13 or C19 – key differences

Feature IEC C13 IEC C19
Compatible device socket IEC C14 IEC C20
Typical application PC, monitor, office and standard IT Servers, UPS, PDUs, storage and higher-power systems
Plug design Compact Larger IEC design
Selection criterion C14 equipment socket available C20 appliance socket available

13 A on the UK mains plug – C19 form factor up to 16 A according to IEC

The IEC C19 form factor is generally designed for higher current ratings. However, with the UK connection lead offered here, the Type G mains plug with a 13 A fuse is the limiting factor. The rated current for the entire connection cable is therefore up to 13 A.

When selecting equipment, the rated values of individual connectors must not be applied in isolation to the entire connection cable. The lowest permissible value for the entire system is always decisive.

Type G and international approvals

For the DINIC C19 product currently on offer, in addition to ASTA, further marks for international target markets are listed, including SASO, HK Safety Mark and Singapore Safety Mark.

However, the Type G plug shape alone does not mean that a connection cable is automatically suitable or approved for every country with Type G sockets. For export projects, the listed approvals must always be checked against the requirements of the specific target market.

Typical applications for UK mains cables with C19

  • Servers and high-performance server systems
  • Storage systems and data storage
  • UPS systems
  • PDU power distribution units and rack power supplies
  • High-performance network components
  • Data centres and server rooms
  • Professional AV and media technology
  • Industrial IT and control systems
  • Laboratory, measurement and testing technology
  • Equipment manufacturing and system integration
  • UK IT roll-outs
  • International export projects with the appropriate approvals

3G 1.5 mm² for professional power supply

The connection cable is constructed using H05VV-F cable and 3G 1.5 mm². This specification is in keeping with the professional design of the C19 connector and the rated current capacity of up to 13 A specified for the entire cable.

Suitable for standardised device platforms

Devices with an IEC-C20 input can, depending on the target market, be equipped with various country-specific C19 mains connection cables .

This facilitates international device configuration and standardised roll-outs, as the device input can remain unchanged.

UK C19 mains cables for B2B, OEM and volume production

In server, data centre and industrial projects, in addition to the plug type and rated current, the cable design, approvals, availability, packaging and consistent product quality also play an important role.

For project and volume production requirements, depending on the technical specifications, customised power cables can also be tested. Depending on the project, variations in cable lengths, for example, are possible, as are different cable cross-sections, markings or packaging specifications. Further information:
