PROEL SM300LU5 - Professional Schuko to IEC C13 Power Cable (5 Meters)
Ensure your equipment is powered with maximum reliability thanks to the PROEL SM300LU5 , a power cable designed for professional audio, lighting, and IT environments. Manufactured by Proel , a world leader in stage equipment, this model from the Stage Gear series stands out for providing a secure and stable connection, essential for preventing power outages or unwanted electrical noise during live performances or critical recording sessions.
This network cable boasts an extended length of 5 meters , a key feature that provides exceptional freedom of movement, allowing you to connect active speakers, amplifiers, or workstations far from wall outlets without the need for extension cords that could compromise the signal. Its robust construction incorporates three 1.0 mm² conductors , a balanced gauge that safely handles the electrical load of most standard audio and video equipment.
The quality of the connectors is fundamental to the SM300LU5. One end features a male Schuko connector (CEE 7/7) , compatible with the vast majority of European sockets with a side earth connection, and the other, a female IEC C13 connector (three-pole) , the universal standard for professional electronic equipment. Both connectors are injection-molded and reinforced to withstand mechanical stress and intensive daily use, ensuring a long service life even under the most demanding assembly and disassembly conditions.
Main features
-
Versatile length: 5 meters reach that facilitates setup on large stages or spacious studios without strain on the cable.
-
Optimal conductivity: Internal section of 3 x 1.0 mm² that guarantees a constant and safe current flow for standard consumption equipment.
-
Standardized connectors: Schuko male to IEC C13 (commonly known as a "computer" or "three-pole" connector), universally compatible.
-
Durable construction: High-quality flexible PVC coating in black, abrasion-resistant and easy to roll up.
-
Certified safety: Molded connectors with strain relief to prevent accidental disconnections or damage to internal wiring.
Product benefits
The main benefit of the PROEL SM300LU5 lies in its reliability and safety . By using premium materials, this cable minimizes the risk of overheating and electrical failures that could damage expensive equipment. Furthermore, its flexible sheath prevents the cable from tangling easily, keeping the stage or DJ booth tidy and free of tripping hazards.
For sound engineers and musicians, having 5 meters of cable provides an immediate logistical solution . It eliminates the need for power strips in the middle of the stage, reducing potential points of failure and improving the visual appeal of the setup. Its integrated grounding ensures equipment protection and helps to dissipate unwanted noise from the electrical grid.
Use cases
-
Stages and live events: Powering floor monitors, active speakers (PA) and guitar/bass amplifiers located away from the main power outlets.
-
Recording studios: Connection of effects racks, preamps and mixing consoles, allowing clean cable management behind the furniture.
-
Office and IT environments: Ideal for desktop computers, monitors, laser printers or servers that require a considerable distance from the UPS or wall socket.
-
Lighting: Power supply for LED spotlights, moving heads and DMX controllers compatible with IEC input.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this cable suitable for connecting a desktop computer to a power outlet?
- Yes, absolutely. The IEC C13 connector is the standard used in the vast majority of PC power supplies, monitors, and printers.
- Is it compatible with self-powered speakers?
- Yes, most professional active speakers (such as those from brands like JBL, Yamaha, Mackie, etc.) use the IEC C13 power input, so this cable is perfectly compatible and very useful due to its 5-meter length.
- What power can the cable handle?
- With 1.0 mm² conductors, this cable is designed to support standard current loads (typically up to 10 Amps on the C13 connector), which is sufficient for almost any conventional audio, video, or computer equipment.
- Are the connectors detachable?
- No, the connectors are injection molded directly onto the cable. This is an advantage because it offers greater mechanical strength and durability against pulling than manually assembled connectors.
