Product identity

The SMUGDESK adapter converts a standard IEC 320 C14 male outlet into a C5 female receptacle, often called a Mickey Mouse connector. It is built for IT professionals and home users who need to power laptops, monitors, printers or network gear from a PDU, UPS or server rack that only offers C14 sockets.

Who it suits and who it does not

The 10A 250V 3‑pin grounded design fits Lenovo, HP, Dell and Cisco hardware as well as many other brands using a C5 inlet. It is not for buyers whose equipment uses a different inlet style, needs a higher amperage rating or requires a locking or angled connector.

Deciding specification

The single figure that decides fit is the C14 male to C5 female gender change; if your power source presents a C14 port and your device accepts a C5 plug, this adapter completes the link.
