The EFB Elektronik EK498.3 power cable is a 3 m black mains lead with a BS 1363/A (UK) plug and a C7 coupler. It is designed for connecting compatible electronic devices to mains outlets in regions using the BS 1363 standard. The cable supports an input voltage of 250 V and a rated current of 2.5 A; the plug includes a 3 A fuse for overcurrent protection.

Advantages

Durable construction and standard connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of consumer electronics and small appliances. The included 3 A fuse in the BS 1363/A plug provides added safety by protecting devices from short-term overcurrent. A 3 m length offers flexible placement options while the black finish provides a neutral appearance.
