Figure 8 Power Cable

1. Definition & Structure

The Figure 8 Power cable (also known as IEC C7/C8 connector) features a compact, "8"-shaped design with:

C7 Plug: Two parallel circular pins arranged in an "8" shape.
C8 Socket: Two corresponding circular holes for the C7 plug.

Designed for low-power devices, it lacks a grounding pin, making it lightweight and cost-effective.

2. Typical Applications

Consumer Electronics

TVs/monitors (e.g., Sony, Samsung models).
Audio equipment (speakers, amplifiers, CD/DVD players).
Gaming consoles (e.g., PlayStation 2).
Small appliances (desk lamps, fans, air purifiers).

Office & Industrial Use

Printers/scanners (low-power models).
Network devices (routers, switches—verify power requirements).
Test instruments (multimeters, oscilloscopes).

Special Environments

Space-constrained setups (embedded systems, compact cabinets).
Global standardization (IEC-compliant for international use).

3. Technical Specifications

Parameter	Details
Conductor Material	Pure copper (high-end models use oxygen-free copper for better conductivity).
Wire Gauge	18AWG (supports up to 7A current, ~875W max power).
Voltage/Frequency	100–240V AC, 50/60Hz (compatible with global power grids).
Length	1–15 meters (common: 1.8m, 3m, 6m).
