CiT MTX-007B what power cable

[TheLegendOfMart]

I've been asked to spec up a system and I saw this case but it doesn't come with a power cable.

It uses the clover type and from a couple of different reviews some say it is C5 and some say it is C6 type.

Does anyone have one of these?

I have no personal experience with that specific case, but as for the C5/C6 issue:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320#Appliance_couplers

In essence, C5 is the female lead, while the C6 is the male lead. Usually the cable has the female lead (C5), while the appliance itself (the case/PSU) has the male lead (C6). This is in itself a little confusing, as even though the female lead is the more protruding part, it's the part with the metal pins which determines the male connector. All the C-couplers are determined in this way, I think.

So in your case, you most probably need the C5 cable. But, if it doesn't come with a power cable, are you sure it comes with a PSU at all? And from what I've seen, C5/C6 is used mainly with laptop chargers, whereas it's fairly uncommon with desktop computers. Although, sometimes picoPSU-type solutions use these same external laptop power chargers. If the PSU is specced below 150W, then it's probable it uses a picoPSU solution. In which case you possibly also need the charger part, as well.

Yeah it says it comes with 180W PSU and requires a "clover" cable but I've seen reviews of people complaining it doesn't come with the cable and recommending different kinds.

I'll tell them to get a C5, thanks.
