Mac Power Cable?
Discussion
Sorry not sure where to put this but hopefully a Mod will re-locate me if I'm in the wrong place!
A friend of mine has kindly offered me a Mac Pro he has lingering about in his garage but first he wants to give the technicals a wipe, however he doesn't have a power cable for it and I offered to pick one up thinking it would be an easy task!
It looks like so:
He says: this is not the standard UK "Kettle plug" size. They are flat prongs.
Any help appreciated. Cheers

C19 is the type of connector. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320
You can't really bodge something else to fit easily.
It's mostly used for higher current draw computer stuff - rated up to 16A where a regular kettle lead will do 10A tops. Fairly commonplace in server rooms but I've not seen it used elsewhere.

IEC C13/C14 "HOT" is a "Kettle lead" - this can be up to 13A.
IEC C13/C14 computer lead is generally up to 10A.
Most people call a computer lead a "kettle" lead, despite the fact you can't plug it into a kettle.
The hot bit is a groove between L and N. If you use a computer lead and cut your own groove, you can plug it into a kettle. And change the fuse to 13A. And then the lead gets very warm and floppy.
Guess what I remembered and forgot when I moved to student accommodation
Doesn't the C13/14 have the pins vertically? The pins on the Mac in the picture below are horizontal (C19)?
However, my iMac (11,2) uses the C13/14 style. I think my MacPro (3,1) has the same C13/14 style, but I've not unplugged it for years.
