Hi guys, my PSU (650W) did not come with a power cable. Just wondering will this cable be okay to use with it? The pins fit perfectly in the PSU. It’s a 10A 250v

Thank you so much. I already have one at home from my old computer link was for reference.
The bulk of the $12.99 ebay price is postage & fees.
I have a box of new cables and did the sums last week on whether to eBay them. With all the faffing about it's easier to scrap them for $2.30/kg.AusPost, small satchel, max 5kg with eBay discount= $8.65
small satchel = 25c
Ebay final value fees on total postage & fees of $10.29 (10.9%) = $1.12c
PayPal fee on $10.29 ( 2.6%) = 27cTotal $10.29, so the cable is ~$2.70.
I've probably made an error but that's near the money.
Yes that's an IEC-C13 power cable, pretty much standard type for computer power supplies, LCD monitors, and domestic appliances.
The one you link is has claims it is rated for 10A 250v.
That is the absolute maximum you're getting out of your standard wall sockets. PSUs are generally built for that standard. You will be alright.
yes, but cheaper elsewhere
