FAQ

What are the common types of Power Cables and Extension Cords used in AV and Production?
IEC Power Cables (C13, C14, C19, C20): are the standard power cords used for audio and video gear, locking IEC (C13/C14 & C19/C20) prevents accidental disconnection with a mechanism that secures the plug directly into the socket, plus PowerCON / TrueOne locking 3-conductor AC connectors used for high-amperage AV equipment.

What are IEC Plugs?
Over 170 countries worldwide, including the United States, have adopted the standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission, a global organization that defines specifications for electronic components and technical equipment. This ensures safety, quality, and interoperability of devices, including power connectors and cables that manage high-current demands and reduce noise
