Power Cords for Trade Show & Exhibition Display Lights
Power Cords for Trade Show & Exhibition Display Lights
The right power cord is the difference between a booth that lights up on time and one that doesn't. Whether you're exhibiting in Chicago, Frankfurt, London, or Sydney, Booth Lights carries the IEC C13 power cord you need — in the correct plug standard for your venue.
Why Exhibitors Choose IEC C13 Power Cords
- Connector-specific compatibility — use only with equipment that specifies an IEC C14 inlet and the required electrical rating
- 3-meter length option — confirm the required route and cable management for the booth layout
- Grounded 3-pin design — safe for professional exhibition environments
- 100–250V input — works at venues worldwide
- Heavy-duty build — designed for repeated trade show setup and teardown

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power cord do I need for a trade show booth light?
A: You need an IEC C13 power cord matched to your venue's outlet standard — US (NEMA 5-15P), EU Schuko (CEE 7/7), UK (BS 1363), or AU (AS 3112). All connect to the C14 inlet on your display fixture.
Q: How long should my booth power cord be?
A: 3 meters (9.8 ft) is the standard for most trade show booth setups, providing enough reach from floor outlets or power strips to overhead or panel-mounted lights.
Q: Can I use the same power cord at different international shows?
A: The IEC C13 equipment connector is standardized, but compatibility still depends on the equipment inlet and rating; the wall plug is region-specific. We recommend keeping one cable per region if you exhibit internationally.
