Dangerous product that does not meet electrical standards.

Warning! Although this IEC C14 male to CEE7/5 female adapter is convenient, it does not comply with French electrical standards. The phase of the IEC C14 plug is connected to the neutral of the CEE7/5 plug, while the neutral of the IEC plug is connected to the phase of the CEE plug. For connecting a non-polarised appliance, this works, but using it with a polarised electrical or electronic appliance will fry the connected appliance (at best). The risk of electrical fire and electric shock is real. Fortunately, I always check my cables with a multimeter. This dangerous product was destroyed and then disposed of at a waste disposal centre. The defect in question is present on all three products tested. The problem is also found on some cables and adapters of major brands.

        cable for UPS

        Perfect addition to UPS, if the outputs are not in the French E/F format. Fast delivery.

        Does its job

        This cable does its job perfectly. Connected between an inverter and a power strip (modem, router, telephone base, ...). The cable is quite short, which saves space and makes for a clean installation.

        perfect

        I use it on my inverters (one apc and one fsp), the CEE plug being connected to a multi-socket. It works perfectly, no play, no need to force, the short cable is enough to organize the wiring.

        Mmmm...

        I am not an electrician but I have connected it to an inverter:
        - No play on the plugs.
        - No short circuit for 2 days.
        - No smell or anything else.
        - Maybe a bad spirit that crosses the flat from time to time, but nothing to do with this equipment ... I've been using it for a while now and I'm not sure I'll be able to find it anywhere else but on this site.
        Thank you LDLC!

        Quality not great

        The product corresponds well to the description and the photo but the quality is not great.

        The plastics have injection marks which is quite rare nowadays for this type of equipment, the cable is not very thick and only one connector (2P+T) is CE marked (not china export fortunately).

        The whole thing does the job well, but the quality leaves something to be desired, which is a pity for a product that is supposed to carry up to 10 amps of current (we're a bit afraid for its safety).

        I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it is.

        Perfect

        The IEC C14 male to CEE7/5 female power adapter - 20 cm is a perfect connection between an inverter and a power strip.

        The indicated length (20cm) seems to count the connectors, so the cable is short, very practical.

        Practice

        Very convenient to switch from an IEC socket of the inverter to a "standard" socket
        The length is relatively short, which also makes it convenient in small spaces such as in rack cabinets.

        Great

        Extremely practical for providing connections to a UPS for peripheral devices with standard European plugs.
        Short length suitable for installation in a server cabinet (19''/12U).
        The only drawback is the logistics by LDLC: 1 week of order preparation for products in stock and assembled... The only problem is the logistics: 1 week to prepare the order for products in stock and assembled... largely outside the terms and conditions of sale but not inside to benefit from a gesture... very regrettable for a large online sales site.
