The C7 connector, often called a figure-8 connector due to the shape formed by its two parallel pins, is a common mains connection found on a wide range of compact electronic devices, including many Hi-Fi and AV components, games consoles, and various other consumer electronics. Its simple, two-pin design makes it a widely used and easily recognisable connector type.

Because the C7 connector has no earth pin, it's typically used on double-insulated equipment that doesn't require a separate earth connection for safety. When choosing a replacement or upgraded C7 cable, it's worth ensuring the cable is appropriately rated for your equipment's power draw, and as with other mains cables, better shielding and build quality can support cleaner power delivery to sensitive components.

If your equipment uses this common two-pin figure-8 connection, our C7 mains cable range offers correctly specified options to suit a wide range of Hi-Fi and AV equipment.
