Description

The Mercury 1.5m power cable connects a European 2-pin wall socket to any device with a figure-8 (C7) inlet, rated at 230V and 2.5A with a 3A fuse in the plug. The figure-8 connector has two parallel round pins in a figure-of-eight housing, commonly used on portable radios, CD players, games consoles, battery chargers and similar low-power devices.

Designed for use across European markets where CEE 7/16 2-pin plugs are standard, the cable suits both fixed installation and travel use where devices need to be repositioned or swapped between rooms. The 1.5m length allows connection from a wall socket to a shelf, desk or sideboard without excessive cable slack. The black PVC sheath is lightweight and flexible, making the cable easy to coil for transport or storage.

The 2.5A rating handles devices drawing up to 575W at 230V, which covers the vast majority of figure-8 appliances. The 3A fuse in the plug provides overcurrent protection, isolating the circuit if a fault develops in the connected device. The cable meets European safety standards for double-insulated Class II equipment, which is the typical classification for figure-8 devices.

Frequently Asked

What devices use a figure-8 socket?

Figure-8 (C7) sockets are found on portable radios, CD players, DAB receivers, games consoles (PlayStation, Xbox power supplies), battery chargers, small AV equipment and laptop power bricks. The connector is used where the device requires low power and does not need an earth connection.

What's the maximum wattage this cable can handle?

The cable is rated 2.5A at 230V, which gives a maximum load of 575W. Most figure-8 devices draw significantly less than this — a typical portable radio draws 10-20W, a CD player 15-30W.

Is the cable compatible with UK sockets?

No. This cable has a European CEE 7/16 2-pin plug and is designed for European wall sockets. For UK use, you need a cable with a BS 1363 3-pin plug or an appropriate travel adaptor.

Can the cable be used outdoors?

No. The cable is rated for indoor use only and has no IP rating for moisture or dust protection. Use it only in dry indoor environments.
