Profoto Power Cable C13

• Standard grounded power cable for mains-driven monolights. Length of 5 meters and with socket variants for each individual markets.

Q: Which Profoto lights work with the C13 power cable?
A: This cable is compatible with Profoto D1 and D2 monolights (all wattages), discontinued Acute pack systems, older Compact monolight series, and ProDaylight/ProTungsten continuous lights. It does not work with Pro-10, Pro-8, or Pro-7 packs—those require the C19 cable variant.

Q: Can I use a generic IEC C13 cable instead of the Profoto version?
A: While generic C13 cables may physically fit, Profoto-certified cables meet strict voltage tolerance and grounding standards required for high-wattage studio flash systems. Using non-certified cables can void your equipment warranty and pose safety risks during high-power cycling.

Q: What's the difference between C13 and C19 Profoto power cables?
A: The C13 cable serves monolights like D1/D2 and older Acute units, while the C19 variant powers larger Pro-series pack systems (Pro-10, Pro-8, Pro-7, D4). Check your light's power inlet—C13 connectors are smaller and rated for monolight power draw.

Q: Is the 5-meter cable length suitable for on-location shoots?
A: Yes—5 meters (16.4 feet) provides flexibility for boom-mounted setups, outdoor power access, and multi-room shooting environments. The grounded design maintains safety even when fully extended across studio floors.

Q: Does this cable come with international shipping and warranty coverage?
A: Shipping policies vary by retailer. As a genuine Profoto accessory, the cable is covered under Profoto's standard warranty terms. Contact your supplier for region-specific shipping rates and return policies.
