What are power lines?

Quite simply, power lines are the route by which your electrical supply travels from source to application. You might need to use a portable generator or call upon a static mains supply. Either way, these products are essential for delivering that electrical power.

Of course, the job may require you to work over extended distances, away from the mains or generator. An extension cord is designed specifically for the job. Available in different lengths depending on your requirements, these cords carry that power to where you need it.

A power line can take many forms too. After all, there is no shortage of electrical applications. Computing, domestic appliances, industrial machinery, and even generators themselves need a power supply in order to function. And power extension cords are the solution to make sure that happens.

How to choose the right extension cord

As ever, it's important to make the right choice of extension cord for the intended application. Are you searching for PC power cables? Do you need a C13 power cord? Or is a C7 power cord going to be the most appropriate solution? At RS, we have got you covered.

Here's a look at what you might want to consider:

Connectors: You can choose from power lines with a variety of connectors. Some have a plug and/or socket at both ends. Some, meanwhile, are unterminated. It depends on the end-use - with IEC power cables, CEE variants, and even multi-national options available.

Materials: The material used to protect the power lines can be a factor in your choice. For any outdoor applications, for example, your extension cord may require more robust protection. All options available from RS are designed to guarantee safety and performance.

Length: Using our advanced filtering options, you can select an extension cord based on length - specifically, the gap between mains supply and the intended application. Our range includes a variety of length options with this in mind, ranging from 1m up to 1,000ft.

What can I use a power line for?

The potential uses of a power extension cord are almost limitless. If electricity is required, these products can facilitate a constant, trustworthy, and safe supply of power to the end appliance.

Computer and monitor power cables are among our most popular choices. But we also provide a selection of power lines for heavier-duty and more industrial applications.
