MX 3543B 3-Pin Female Power Cord 5 Metre with IEC Autolock C-13

MX 3543B 3-Pin Female Power Cord 5 Metre with IEC Autolock C-13

The MX 3543B Female Cord is a 5-metre mains power cord that connects a 3-pin Indian and South African style wall plug to an IEC Autolock C-13 female connector, the socket used by most desktop computers, monitors, printers and data equipment. Rated at 10 Amp with 3 x 1.00 sq mm conductors, it is a straightforward replacement for a lost, damaged or too-short equipment cord, and it is long enough to reach a wall socket or a power strip placed away from the desk.

What sets the MX 3543B Female Cord apart from an ordinary computer cord is the Autolock action at the equipment end. The C-13 connector locks into the equipment inlet and releases only when the red push button is pressed, so vibration, a knocked cable or a trolley wheel rolling over the cord cannot silently pull the plug free. That matters for equipment that must stay powered, from a billing computer to a rack of network gear.

Why Choose MX 3543B 3-Pin Female Power Cord 5 Metre with IEC Autolock C-13?

The MX 3543B Female Cord solves a common, annoying problem: equipment that switches off because its power cord worked loose. Standard C-13 cords rely on friction alone, and in a busy office or a server corner they creep out over time. The Autolock connector ends that failure mode, and the red release button makes deliberate removal just as easy as with a normal cord.

The 5-metre length is the other practical win. Short cords force extension boards and adaptors into the chain; a single 5-metre cord runs cleanly from the wall to the equipment, with fewer joints and fewer points of failure. The 3 x 1.00 sq mm conductor size and 10 Amp rating cover the full range of ordinary computer and data equipment.

Key Features

• IEC Autolock C-13 female connector: locks into the equipment inlet and releases only with the red push button, so vibration cannot disconnect it.
• 3-pin Indian and South African plug: fits standard Indian wall sockets directly, with no adaptor needed.
• 10 Amp, 3 x 1.00 sq mm conductors: a properly rated cord for computers, monitors, printers and data equipment.
• 5-metre length: reaches distant sockets and power strips without an extension board in between.
• Vibration-proof connection: the locking action protects against accidental disconnection in busy or mobile setups.

Best Suited For

The MX 3543B Female Cord suits offices, billing counters, computer labs, studios and server corners where a computer or monitor must not lose power mid-task. It also suits home desks where the wall socket sits across the room, and installers who need a dependable cord for racks and AV racks.

It is a general-purpose equipment cord, not a specialised high-current lead: check that the equipment takes a C-13 inlet and draws within 10 Amp before ordering, and confirm the 5-metre length suits the run.

Setup and Connection Guide

1. Connect the 3-pin plug end of the MX 3543B Female Cord to a standard Indian wall socket, then push the C-13 female end firmly into the equipment inlet until the lock engages. To remove it, press the red push button on the connector and pull gently; never yank the cable itself.
2. Route the cord where it will not be pinched by doors, chair castors or rack rails, and keep it clear of heat sources. If the cord ever shows cuts, melted spots or a loose plug, replace it rather than taping over the damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Autolock connector fit my computer or monitor?

If the equipment has a standard C-13 power inlet, the same rectangular three-pin socket found on most desktops, monitors and printers, then yes. The lock engages with that inlet and the red button releases it.

Is 5 metres too long for a short run?

A longer cord is easy to manage: coil the spare length loosely behind the desk or rack, without tight bends. The extra reach is an advantage when the socket is not beside the equipment.

Can this cord power a UPS or a printer?

Yes, provided the device uses a C-13 inlet and stays within the 10 Amp rating. Large UPS units and some laser printers may use a C-19 inlet instead; check the socket shape before ordering.
