    I'm looking to buy another better suited power cable for my new build


    Hello,

    I've build a new pc using new and existing parts but there is one more hardware item I really need to get as soon as possible. My PC is next to a passing area and at some point in time someone struggled over my power cable and destroyed my pc somewhat so I'm looking to prevent that from happening again. After that I had a power cable that prevented this (see screenshot) but this doesn't fit anymore correctly on the new 850W power supply (seasonic).

    I'm looking to buy another better suited power cable for my new build-img_20221029_105646_349.jpgI'm looking to buy another better suited power cable for my new build-img_20221029_105751_696.jpgI'm looking to buy another better suited power cable for my new build-img_20221029_105902_505.jpg


    So I'm looking to get one that plugs in opposite of the shot you see when I'm holding it with my hand.

    This one, right?

    Amazon.fr


    That of amazon from one of the comments the cable does not seem to support 10A because the wire is too thin, 3x0.5 mm2

    The one looks like 10A according to the description, 3x0.75 mm2. Cordon d'alimentation PC CEE7 / C13 coude noir - 1,8 m - Achat / Vente sur Abix.fr

    they deliver in belgium

    You search in your belgian google search engine angled iec c13 cable, or without the c13, and you pay attention to the angle that suits you and that it supports 10A conductor 3x1mm2 (it's better) or 3x0.75mm2.

    This one sent by volaris.de from amazon. fr it has 3x1mm2 of conductor according to a comment.

    Toutes nos excuses


    I stop there there are plenty that you will find in Belgium.

    Edit: This same store as above in 3x1mm2
    Cordon d'alimentation PC CEE7 / C13 coude noir - 3,0 m - Achat / Vente sur Abix.fr

    This last store, 2 cables 3x1mm2, Belgian delivery possible apparently, 3 meters, 1 available within 27 to 29 days, the other 5 days.

    I may need it for myself but from the other angle.

    Move the computer so that it is not in a high traffic area to cause people to trip over it.

    You might want to check out "power cord protectors".
    They're a rubber or metal "channel" that you lay your power cord into, and then close.

    For example...

    Thank you for that information. Just exactly what I needed to know.
    @Ghot thank you but that won't work in this situation.

    Randaarde snoer met CEE contra,
    KEMA KEUR en VDE gekeurd,
    H005VV-F 3x0.75 mm2 (230V/6A),

    I have no idea. I'm from the US... that plug looks like it was left on Earth by aliens or something.


    Now this is what Earth power cords look like...

    Hello,

    It's because the photo from where you bought it was not contractual, it put you in error. If I look for you in Belgium the problem may reoccur. It is better that you contact the stores before ordering by explaining to them the meaning of the female plug (c14) with photo of the power supply and that facing the back of the computer case you want the angle to go to the right. If the store doesn't have the cable ask if they can supply one for you.

    I will try to do a search for Belgian stores but you will have to contact them yourself.

    When you are facing the back of the computer case the cable must go to the right, right?

    The store where you bought it has other angled cables, contact them and explain the direction you want it may have one.

    - - - Updated - - -

    for the link of the second store first show me a photo of the seasonic power supply plug without a cable connected and tell me which direction you want when facing the back of the computer case. I am a little lost.

    @Max Pen

    That's it I found in Belgium, the right angle with pdf and supporting reference. 2 meters 3x1mm2 and locking on the c13 plug, you are not obliged to use it. For this site and on the top right cable page you have to select either business or private, for you it's private.

    At the other end of the cable is a c14 socket, it doesn't matter, in this c14 plug you plug your old power cable.

    I'll keep looking though...

    - - - Updated - - -

    This one is good, with a wall outlet like yours. Schaffner brand like the first, this brand indicates the reference with either right or left angle one cannot be mistaken. Only 16 left in stock!
    IL13P-L-EU1-H05-3100-200 | Schaffner IEC C13 Socket to CEE 7/7 Plug Power Cord, 2m | RS

    The same store but in netherlands.
    IL13P-L-EU1-H05-3100-200 | Schaffner IEC C13 Socket to CEE 7/7 Plug Power Cord, 2m | RS

    No need to contact them. The 2 holes are at the top and one at the bottom, if you face the back of the case, the cable will go to the right. There is the same cable but it will go to the left.

    The same cable in another store NL and BE.
    1 meter(3x1mm2) C13 (haaks/rechts met IEC Lock) - CEE 7/7 (haaks) stroomkabel - 3x 1,00mm / zwart - 1 meter
    2 meters(3x1mm2) C13 (haaks/rechts met IEC Lock) - CEE 7/7 (haaks) stroomkabel - 3x 1,00mm / zwart - 2 meter
    3 meters(3x1mm2) C13 (haaks/rechts met IEC Lock) - CEE 7/7 (haaks) stroomkabel - 3x 1,00mm / zwart - 3 meter


    Another cable not of the same brand and cheaper, still in the NL and BE store. The site indicates the angles for all the cables, take a good look at the images in the description, you are facing the back of the case, don't forget(This is how the site sees it).
    "90° haakse C13 connector
    Deze kabel beschikt over een 90° gehoekte C13 connector. Controleer goed de afbeelding of de haakse bocht van de connector voor uw toepassing de juiste is."

    1.8 meters (3x0.75mm2) C13 (haaks/rechts) - CEE 7/7 (haaks) stroomkabel - 3x 0,75mm / zwart - 1,8 meter
    3 meters (3x1mm2) C13 (haaks/rechts) - CEE 7/7 (haaks) stroomkabel - 3x 1,00mm / zwart - 3 meter
    5 meters (3x1mm2) C13 (haaks/rechts) - CEE 7/7 (haaks) stroomkabel - 3x 1,00mm / zwart - 5 meter

    - - - Updated - - -

    This one from cables.shop.nl, it is the same cable as the Schaffner brand, it is renamed in another brand but it is Schaffner the parent company.
    The description is confusing for the cables, prefer my links above.

    Thank you so much for your detailed response. I was waiting to reply until I managed to resolve this. I ended up buying the wrong cable again so now got 2 useless cables and finally I solved it by buying: https://www.kabeldirect.nl/c14-c13-a...hts-zwart.html

    Ok thank you for the answer.
    It's a good solution the adapter, you don't need to buy a cable and you protect the planet from waste.

    You ended up with a second bad cable, it is by buying in my links?

    In the European Union you have 14 or 15 days of withdrawal to return what you have purchased without giving any reason.
