StarTech.com UK Power Cable — 1 m, BS 1363 to IEC C13, 10 A 250 V, VDE Approved
BS 1363 — the Cyprus plugIEC C13 kettle connector10 A, 250 V, VDE approvedLifetime warranty
The StarTech.com UK Computer Power Cable, product ID BS13U-1M-POWER-LEAD, is a 1 m black mains lead with a BS 1363 three-pin plug on one end and an IEC 60320 C13 connector on the other — the “kettle lead” that powers a desktop PC, monitor, printer, UPS, PDU, television or anything else with a C14 inlet. BS 1363 is the standard socket in Cyprus, so this is the correct plug type for the local mains, and it is rated at 250 V and 10 A for a proper European supply rather than a North American one. Construction is 3-conductor 100% copper at 0.75 mm² (18 AWG) in an H05VV-F rated PVC jacket, VW-1 fire rated, with VDE approved connectors and fully moulded strain reliefs. StarTech.com backs it with a lifetime warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Straightforward, with two things worth checking. The C13 socket fits any device with a C14 inlet — desktop PCs, monitors, printers, servers, UPS units, PDUs, amplifiers, most televisions — and the BS 1363 plug fits the standard Cyprus and UK wall socket. It is rated to 10 A at 250 V, which suits ordinary IT and AV equipment; a device drawing more than 10 A needs a heavier cord, and a device with a C20 inlet needs a C19 lead instead of this one. Note also the published operating temperature range of -10 °C to 35 °C: that upper figure is lower than some equivalent cords, so in an unventilated cabinet or a hot plant room in a Cyprus summer, keep it out of the warmest air and do not bundle it tightly with other heat sources. The BS 1363 plug contains a fuse as UK-standard plugs do — check the fuse rating matches the equipment.
Key Features
BS 1363 plug — the correct type for Cyprus
Not an adapter and not a continental plug that needs one. Cyprus uses the BS 1363 three-pin socket, so this cord plugs directly into the wall and its earth pin engages the socket shutters properly, which is what an adapter stack cannot be relied on to do.
Rated 250 V at 10 A
A genuine European mains rating rather than a 125 V North American one, which matters because a great many C13 cords sold online are UL-rated for 125 V. On a 230 V supply the rating on the cord is not a detail to overlook.
3-conductor 100% copper at 0.75 mm²
Live, neutral and a real protective earth, in solid copper at the standard cross-section for a 10 A appliance cord. Earth continuity is the single most important property of a mains lead for Class I IT equipment.
VDE approved connectors, H05VV-F jacket, VW-1 rated
VDE approval on the connectors and an H05VV-F harmonised cable rating mean the cord meets recognised European standards rather than being merely shaped correctly. VW-1 means the jacket self-extinguishes instead of carrying a flame.
Fully moulded strain reliefs
The overmould at both ends locks the conductors to the connector bodies, so pulling the cord out of a tight PDU or from behind a desk stresses the moulding rather than the terminations inside. Loose terminations in a mains connector are a fire risk, not merely a reliability one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
Mains leads are bought carelessly and they are the one accessory where the failure mode is a fire rather than an inconvenience. Three things are worth checking, and this cord is explicit about all three: a genuine three-conductor build with a protective earth, 0.75 mm² copper rather than an undersized conductor, and recognised European approvals — VDE on the connectors, H05VV-F on the cable, VW-1 on the jacket. That combination is what separates a cord you can put behind a rack from an unmarked one from a market stall. For Cyprus specifically, the BS 1363 plug is the point: it goes straight into the wall, with the earth pin doing its job, rather than sitting in a travel adapter that eventually works loose. The one specification worth noting is the 35 °C upper temperature limit, which is conservative — keep it out of hot exhaust air. Browse our PC power supplies range for the equipment this powers, and see our PC monitors section for displays with C14 inlets.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You need a replacement or spare mains lead for a PC, monitor, printer, UPS or PDU in Cyprus or the UK, with a proper 250 V rating and recognised European approvals.
Skip it if
Your device has a C20 inlet or draws more than 10 A — that needs a C19 cord or a heavier lead. Also skip it if you need a continental Schuko plug rather than BS 1363.
Also consider
The 1.8 m and 3 m versions of this same UK power cord, C14 to C13 power extension cords for reaching a PDU outlet, or Schuko to C13 leads for continental European installations.
