Q: Which Profoto lights work with the C13 cable?
A: The C13 cable powers Profoto D1 and D2 monolights, discontinued Acute and Compact series, plus ProDaylight and ProTungsten continuous lights. It does not fit Pro-7, Pro-8, or Pro-10 power packs (those require C19 cables).

Q: How long is the cable and why does length matter?
A: At 5 meters (16.4 feet), this cable provides studio-standard reach for positioning lights away from wall outlets. Shorter cables restrict lighting placement, while excessive length creates trip hazards and voltage inefficiency.

Q: Is this cable region-specific for India?
A: Profoto manufactures the C13 with different socket variants (US, EU, UK, AU, JP). Verify your regional plug type matches local outlets. The cable itself is universally compatible with all Profoto monolight models regardless of purchase region.

Q: Does using third-party cables void my Profoto warranty?
A: Using non-OEM cables may void equipment warranty if damage occurs from incompatible components. Profoto-branded cables maintain full manufacturer support and meet the company's electrical safety specifications.

Q: Can I use this cable for non-Profoto studio lights?
A: The C13 connector is an industry-standard interface used by Elinchrom, Broncolor, and other brands. However, socket grounding configurations vary. While physically compatible, always verify electrical specifications before cross-brand use.
