6ft Schuko to C13 Computer Power Cord, Right Angle, 18 AWG H05VV-F, 10A/250V, VDE, Black

The Cable Leader European Schuko to C13 power cord delivers a direct connection between a European Type F wall outlet and any device fitted with a standard IEC 60320 C14 inlet. A grounded right-angle CEE 7/7 Schuko plug terminates one end and an IEC 60320 C13 receptacle the other, joined by 18 AWG H05VV-F cable rated 10A at 250V. The right-angle plug head sits flat against the socket, making this a clean replacement AC cord for computers, monitors, and rack equipment across the EU.

The CEE 7/7 Schuko plug is the grounded two-pin connector used throughout Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, and most of continental Europe. Its side earth clips and recessed contacts deliver a safe grounded connection on 230V European mains. This cord uses the full Schuko form — not the smaller ungrounded Europlug (CEE 7/16) — so the protective earth path reaches the C13 device, which matters for computers and metal-chassis equipment that require an earth reference.

At the device end, the IEC 60320 C13 connector is the universal computer and monitor power inlet mate, seating onto any C14 appliance inlet rated to 10A. The H05VV-F harmonized cable holds three 0.75 mm² conductors under a flexible PVC jacket suited to indoor mains use. The 10A / 250V cord rating matches the C13 interface ceiling; the Schuko plug body itself is rated 16A, so the connector at the load is the limiting element, supporting roughly 2,500 watts.

The 90-degree plug is the practical reason buyers choose this cord over a straight version. Behind a wall-mounted monitor, a desk pushed against the wall, or a populated PDU, a straight Schuko plug forces the cable outward and bends it sharply at the pins. The right-angle head exits parallel to the wall, recovering 30 to 40 mm of clearance and easing the strain radius where the conductors meet the contacts — useful in tight European office and server-room layouts.

Every cord set is certified for European deployment: VDE, ENEC, KEMA-KEUR, CEBEC, the Nordic marks (Demko, Nemko, Fimko, Semko), and OVE, with full RoHS compliance on the plug, connector, and cable. The molded strain relief at both the Schuko and C13 ends reduces flex stress where the wire enters each contact body. These approvals confirm the voltage rating, insulation class, and flame behavior printed on the connector for grounded 250V mains.

The black jacket provides a professional appearance and suits standard data center and enterprise rack deployments.

Compatibility & Ordering Information

This cord is compatible with any equipment using a standard IEC C14 male inlet and any European Type F (Schuko) wall outlet or PDU — desktop and all-in-one computers, LCD and LED monitors, laser printers, scanners, 1U/2U servers, managed switches, KVM consoles, and audio/video gear with detachable IEC inlets. It is the European counterpart to Cable Leader's US NEMA 5-15P to C13 cord (PW106-12XX). Available in multiple stocked lengths under the PW107-12XX family; choose the length that matches your outlet-to-device run plus a short service loop, and contact Cable Leader for bulk or custom-length quotes.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between a Schuko (CEE 7/7) and a Europlug (CEE 7/16) power cord?

A Schuko CEE 7/7 plug is grounded and rated to 16A, with side earth clips that connect the protective earth, while a Europlug CEE 7/16 is a smaller ungrounded plug rated only 2.5A. This PW107-12XX cord uses the full grounded Schuko, so the earth path reaches the C13 device — required for computers and metal-chassis equipment.

Q2: Is this Schuko to C13 cord compatible with my computer, monitor, and PDU?

Yes — the IEC 60320 C13 end mates with any device that has a standard C14 inlet, including desktops, monitors, servers, network switches, and PDU outputs. The Schuko end plugs into any European Type F wall socket. The straight L/N/E wiring preserves polarity and earth end-to-end, so the device sees a normal grounded 250V supply.

Q3: What gauge and rating do I need to power a computer or monitor in Europe?

For a typical computer, monitor, or printer drawing under 10A at 230-250V, 18 AWG (0.75 mm²) H05VV-F is the standard European cord size. The PW107-12XX family is rated 10A / 250V — matching the C13 interface ceiling and supporting about 2,500 W. Equipment drawing above 10A needs a heavier C19 / C20 cord instead.

Q4: How does the right-angle Schuko plug orient at the wall outlet?

The right-angle plug exits flat and parallel to the wall, so the cable runs along the surface rather than straight out. Insert the Schuko plug fully so both earth clips engage, then seat the C13 connector onto the device C14 inlet until it stops. IEC fittings hold by friction, not a latch, so push until fully home.

Q5: Which power cord is best for European equipment — Schuko or US NEMA 5-15P?

Choose the Schuko (CEE 7/7) cord for 230-250V European Type F outlets, and the NEMA 5-15P version for 120V US outlets — the two are not interchangeable. If your equipment ships to or operates in continental Europe, use this PW107-12XX Schuko to C13 cord; for North America, see Cable Leader's PW106-12XX NEMA 5-15P to C13 family.
