Hello, needs the S4 a normal C13 cable (like a PC power supply) to power?

Like this:

I ask because Bitmain write 16A and C13 is normaly not rated for 16A.

Yes, judging by the picture it's C13. You'll need a 14GA C13 if running on 120V, or standard 18GA if 240v.

Could someone provide a couple of links to the correct cable needed for the S4?

UK Cable

USA Cable

Hey Dogie,

This takes me back to where I was confused in the first place. Bitmain says not to use a wire rated for less than 16A, but this cord would be 15A? Sorry if this was already addressed.

The miner consumes 1400w, which is 11.66A on 120v or 5.83A on 240v. The wires above are fine for the stated voltages. You can also get a 12GA wire which is rated for 20A, but they're less common.
