Vszerda IEC 60320 C14 to C5 90° Power Extension Cord

90° C14 to C5 Adapter

This short adapter converts a standard C14 inlet into a C5 outlet with a 90-degree left-angled profile. It is intended for PC builders and technicians who need to route power cables in tight chassis corners or behind rack equipment where straight connectors would foul adjacent components or panels. The 2 cm pigtail keeps the joint compact without adding cable bulk. It suits any device that uses the clover-leaf C5 input such as desktop PSUs, monitors or small UPS units.

Electrical Rating and Thermal Behaviour

The connector pair is rated for 10 A at 250 V, so it handles typical desktop and monitor loads without exceeding its specification. No active cooling is present and none is required; the short copper path and robust contacts remain at ambient temperature during normal operation. Because the adapter is entirely passive it adds no audible noise to the system.

Connector Geometry and Daily Use

The left-angled 90-degree moulding lets the C5 tail exit parallel to the equipment face, clearing rear-panel obstacles such as voltage switches, port clusters or cable-management bars. Users must verify the exit direction matches their chassis layout before ordering, as the moulding is not reversible. The three-pole C14 male end mates with any standard IEC 60320 C13 cable, while the C5 female end accepts the familiar clover-leaf plug found on most PC power supplies.
