tekit C14 to C5 Power Cord 6ft IEC Adapter

tekit C14 to C5 power cord is a 6ft (1.8m) IEC adapter cable that converts a C14 male connection to a C5 (cloverleaf) female, letting you plug laptops, projectors, and select devices with a C6 inlet into a C13/C14 power chain.

This compact adapter cable solves compatibility gaps between standard IEC mains leads and devices that use the cloverleaf C5 connector. Built with 100% oxygen-free copper conductors in an 18AWG equivalent jacket, it’s rated for 2.5A at 250V and sized to work as an inline conversion between a building’s C13/C14 power distribution and equipment that expects the C5/C6 arrangement.

How does this cable let my laptop or projector use a standard C13/C14 power lead?

The tekit C14-to-C5 cable has a male IEC C14 on one end and a female cloverleaf C5 on the other. Plug the C14 into a C13 outlet or power strip and connect your device’s C6 plug into the C5 end to complete the circuit.

• Male C14 connector mates with standard C13 power outlets and server/UPS leads.
• Female C5 accepts cloverleaf (C6) plugs used by many laptop and projector power bricks.
• 6ft (1.8m) length gives flexible reach without excess slack.
• Works as an inline adapter — no rewiring or tools required.

Is the cable safe and reliable for daily use?

tekit uses 3G0.75mm² (18AWG equivalent) conductors made from oxygen-free pure copper for efficient conductivity and lower resistance. The assembly is factory-rated to 2.5A/250V, suitable for common laptop power supplies and small AV equipment.

• 100% oxygen-free copper for consistent power delivery and reduced heat buildup.
• 18AWG-equivalent wiring supports regular charging and light equipment loads.
• Secure molded connectors reduce strain and maintain contact stability.
• Manufacturer rating 2.5A/250V — check device draw before high-current use.

Which devices and setups are compatible with this adapter?

This cable is designed to bridge devices with a C6 (cloverleaf) inlet to installations using C13/C14 mains connections. It’s commonly used with laptop power adapters, portable projectors, and some small desktop or monitor models that use a three-slot C6.

• Laptop power bricks that terminate in a C6 cloverleaf plug.
• Portable projectors and small AV equipment with C6 inlets.
• Situations where a building or rack uses C13/C14 distribution but the device needs a C5 connection.
• Not intended for high-current appliances beyond its 2.5A rating.

Who is this for? The tekit C14 to C5 adapter is ideal for IT technicians, AV installers, frequent travelers, and home users who need a simple, safe way to adapt cloverleaf-equipped adapters to standard C13/C14 power systems. If you need a short, reliable inline conversion to get a laptop or projector powered from a server power strip, this cable provides a low-cost, no-fuss solution. Always confirm your device’s current draw and local electrical codes before use to ensure the 2.5A/250V rating is appropriate for your equipment.
