5M – IEC C13 TO 13A UK Plug Power Cord
$20.00 /day
The definitive ultra-reliable, high-capacity electrical link for professional cinema lights, studio displays, and heavy post-production hardware, our Certified Heavy-Duty 13A UK Plug to IEC C13 Kettle Lead Power Cord is now available for rental in Hong Kong. Outfitted with an extended structural 5-meter cable layout, this high-performance copper line handles uncompromised power delivery smoothly. Featuring a fused Type G UK plug and a molded three-pin grounded socket, it eliminates cable length limits and sudden on-set power disconnects completely. The ultimate choice for powering heavy LED studio fixtures, desktop workstations, or master power distribution setups on location. (Note: This standard rental package includes the single standalone electrical connectivity cable only; electronic hardware and power strips are available for add-on rent separately.)
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
Our Certified Heavy-Duty 13A UK Plug to IEC C13 Kettle Lead Power Cord represents the reliable, high-utility industry standard for earthed electrical distribution, engineered specifically for high-wattage cinema lighting setups, digital imaging technician (DIT) carts, and professional post-production bays, making it an essential baseline utility for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Delivering a perfectly stable, ground-protected power matrix, this premium copper line allows production crews to route raw power directly to heavy-draw studio monitors, desktop workstation towers, or main lighting arrays without voltage drops, structural melting, or connection dropouts.
When executing an equipment hire for complex commercial advertising campaigns, high-traffic corporate presentations, or extensive location multi-cam shoots in Hong Kong, venue power outlets are frequently positioned far away from the active staging area. Relying on standard short household wires or flimsy low-grade multi-plugs introduces massive visual clutter, hazardous trip points, and dangerous thermal load accumulation. Our professional-grade 5-meter kettle lead solves this operational bottleneck flawlessly. By providing a generous 5-meter physical reach built with thick-gauge internal wiring, it effortlessly bridges the gap between distant wall distribution boards and your technical equipment layout, keeping your creative workflow entirely secure under continuous daily production pressure.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Heavy Studio Lighting Power Supply: Connects professional high-wattage LED lights and cinema fixtures directly to standard wall outlets safely across wide set layouts.
-
DIT Desktop Workstation Routing: Supplies a robust, earthed power path to feed large computer tower power supplies, editing displays, and localized server arrays.
-
On-Set Client Village Long-Distance Connection: Paths clean, reliable electricity through structural set framing straight back to client monitor clusters and playback decks.
-
Rigid Fused 13A UK Type G Standard Connection: Built-in replaceable fuse module safely regulates power tracking to protect expensive linked equipment from sudden voltage surges.
-
Universal 3-Pin Grounded IEC C13 Socket Interface: Precision-milled intermediate standard female profile (popularly called a kettle lead) locks firmly into a vast array of pro gear.
-
Extended 5-Meter Heavy-Duty Structural Reach: Generous single-cable length eliminates the need to chain multiple risky extensions together across wide venue floors.
-
Heavy-Duty Oxygen-Free Copper Core Line: Advanced internal copper gauge maintains exceptionally low thermal resistance metrics under prolonged load cycles.
-
Molded Strain Relief Protective Shell Over-Sleeve: Industrial-grade physical rubber casing handles continuous high-frequency folding, bending, and heavy studio logistics without fraying.

Q: Are power distribution strips, desktop workstations, or cinematic lighting kits included inside this standard rental listing?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers a single standalone fused electrical power cable in a 5-meter length only. It is intentionally designed to offer highly flexible, low-overhead utility allocations for production crews, capture assistants, or lighting technicians who already manage their preferred electronics and simply require a certified, long-reach power line to safely hook up their gear. If your crew requires an independent compute or lighting block, please remember to add our Mac mini M4 compute modules, heavy-duty power strips, or LED lighting packages to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: What common film and video production gear uses an IEC C13 “Kettle Lead” socket? Will this fit a standard Mac mini or a laptop?
A: The IEC C13 connector is a robust 3-pin earthed socket shaped like a house or a standard computer plug. It is the exact standard port profile found on most professional LED film lights, heavy cinematic switchers, desktop computer tower power supplies, and high-end studio editing monitors. However, it will not fit a modern Apple Mac mini or camera battery charging bays (which utilize the flat 2-pin IEC C7 figure-8 wire), nor will it fit standard laptop charging bricks (which typically use the 3-pin IEC C5 cloverleaf connector). Please carefully verify your hardware’s exact power input terminal shape before booking.
-
Q: What is the maximum total electrical power and current load that this 5-meter power cable can safely handle simultaneously?
A: This industrial-grade power cord is fully compliant with British Standard regulations, supporting a maximum current load tracking threshold of 13 Amps and a standard voltage environment of 220V to 250V, which translates to a total continuous electrical power limit of approximately 3000 Watts to 3250 Watts. This provides ample headroom for heavy-duty production hardware. Always ensure that the venue’s underlying wall outlet or power source is fully rated to support your combined hardware draw safely.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
