EFB-Elektronik Power Cable — UK BS 1363 to IEC C7, 1.8 m, 3 A Fused, Black
Fits standard Cyprus wall socketsIEC C7 figure-of-eight1.8 m3 A fused plug
The EFB-Elektronik EK498.1.8 is a 1.8-metre mains lead with a UK BS 1363A three-pin plug at one end and an IEC 60320 C7 figure-of-eight connector at the other, rated 2.5 A at 250 V and fitted with a 3 A fuse. Because Cyprus uses the same BS 1363 socket standard as the UK and Ireland, it goes straight into a normal wall socket here — no adapter. The C7 end is the small two-pin connector found on double-insulated equipment: two-pin laptop power bricks, printers, radios, televisions, monitors, games consoles and powered speakers. It is the sensible replacement when the original lead has been lost, damaged or borrowed. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
The plug is BS 1363A — the same three-pin standard used in Cyprus, the UK, Ireland, Malta, Singapore and Malaysia — and it is fitted with a 3 A fuse. The device end is IEC 60320 C7, the two-pin “figure-of-eight” connector, which mates with a C8 inlet. Check your equipment before ordering: this is not the larger three-pin C13 kettle lead, and not the three-pin C5 “cloverleaf” used by many laptop power supplies. Most importantly, the cable has two conductors and no earth, so it is only for double-insulated Class II equipment — if your device has an earthed three-pin inlet, this is the wrong lead and using an adapter to force it would remove the earth. Maximum load is 2.5 A at 250 V, roughly 575 W. Reaction-to-fire class Dca under the EU Construction Products Regulation. Indoor use only.
Key Features
Plugs straight into a Cyprus socket
No travel adapter and no Schuko-to-Type-G converter in the way. The BS 1363A plug is the standard fitted here, and it comes with the 3 A fuse that the standard requires — which is also the protection a small double-insulated appliance should have on its supply.
The right connector for two-pin equipment
The C7 figure-of-eight is what sits on the back of printers, radios, televisions, monitors, consoles, powered speakers and two-pin laptop bricks. Buying the correct connector is the whole job with a replacement lead, and C7 is the one people most often confuse with the C5 cloverleaf.
1.8 metres, tested and moulded
A practical desk or AV-cabinet length — long enough to reach a socket behind furniture without leaving a metre of slack. The plug and connector bodies are moulded, the conductors are 2 x 0.75 mm, and the assembly carries a Dca reaction-to-fire classification for use in buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
Replacement mains leads are one of the few purchases where getting the connector right is the entire decision, and C7 is the one most often ordered by mistake — people see a small connector on a laptop brick and assume figure-of-eight when it is actually the three-pin C5 cloverleaf. Turn the device over and count the holes before ordering. The other thing worth knowing is that the missing earth is deliberate, not a cost saving: C7 exists for Class II double-insulated equipment, and that is the only place it belongs. For anything with a C14 inlet you want the earthed C13 version, which we stock alongside this in our computer power cables range; and if the lead went missing along with the power brick itself, see our laptop power supplies instead.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need a replacement or spare mains lead for double-insulated equipment with a C7 figure-of-eight inlet — a printer, radio, television, monitor, console, powered speaker or two-pin laptop brick — and you want a fused BS 1363 plug that fits a Cypriot socket directly, at a practical 1.8 m.
Skip it if
Your device has an earthed C14 inlet, which needs a C13 lead; the inlet is the three-pin C5 cloverleaf rather than the two-pin figure-of-eight; the equipment draws more than 2.5 A; or you are plugging into a Schuko outlet on a rack PDU rather than a Cypriot wall socket.
Also consider
EK498.3, the same cable in 3.0 m, if 1.8 m will not reach; a BS 1363 to C13 lead for earthed equipment such as a desktop PC, monitor or switch; or a BS 1363 to C5 cloverleaf lead if the inlet turns out to have three holes rather than two.
