C5 to C8 adapter for three-hole laptop power

This short adapter cord connects a C8 male plug to a C5 female socket, letting you power laptops and devices that use the standard three-hole Mickey Mouse connector. It is built for users who need a compact link between their hardware and a UPS, PDU or wall outlet. The 1 ft length keeps cable clutter to a minimum in tight workspaces or travel bags. Copper conductors provide a stable electrical path for everyday use.

Verify connector gender

Confirm that your power source presents a C8 female inlet and that your laptop or power brick uses a C5 male plug, because this cord only bridges those two specific IEC 320 interfaces. The 18 AWG rating and copper conductor suit typical laptop loads, but you must ensure the connected equipment does not exceed the cord's design limits. No other connector types or voltages are supported by this adapter.

Short length and plug-and-play design simplify

The 0.3 m cable eliminates excess slack when connecting equipment mounted close together in racks, on desks or inside carry cases. Clearly marked C8 male and C5 female ends allow immediate installation without tools or configuration. This makes the cord a practical accessory for mobile professionals and compact workstation builds where space is at a premium.

Questions about this item

Does the 1 ft C5-to-C8 cord ship with anything else or must I buy a separate power brick?

The box contains only the 1 ft black cable with an IEC 320 C8 male plug on one end and a C5 Mickey Mouse female socket on the other; you still need your laptop's own 3-hole power adapter to complete the connection.

The listing shows a single 1 ft 18 AWG version — is that the only length and gauge offered?

Yes, this TeKit model is supplied only as a 1 ft (0.3 m) 18 AWG copper conductor cord with C8 male to C5 female ends; no other lengths or wire gauges are available for this part.

What does the 18 AWG rating mean when the cord is plugged into a laptop power supply?

The 18 AWG copper conductors are rated for the typical current drawn by standard 3-hole laptop adapters, so the short 1 ft run adds negligible voltage drop and safely delivers full power to the supply.
