The Campagnolo EPS charger ships without a power cable, and the AC12-CAUSEPS provides the connection between the charger unit and standard North American wall outlets. The cable features a Type A plug designed for 120-volt household power in the United States and Canada, and it mates with the input socket on the AC19-BCEPS charger unit. Campagnolo sells the cable separately because different regions require different plug configurations, and purchasing region-specific cables eliminates the need for adapters that add failure points to the charging system.

The cable handles the voltage conversion requirements for charging EPS V2, V3, and V4 power units, though the actual charging circuit lives in the charger unit itself. Operating temperature range runs from 32 degrees to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, which covers most indoor environments plus storage in unheated garages or vehicles during moderate weather. The cable's gauge and insulation meet electrical safety standards for permanent household wiring connections, and the molded plug design prevents the kind of strain failures that develop when cables get repeatedly coiled for storage.

If you're replacing a damaged cable or need a spare for travel, verify that you're ordering the correct regional version. Campagnolo manufactures different part numbers for European, UK, Australian, and other electrical standards, and these cables are not interchangeable due to plug configuration and voltage rating differences. The AC12-CAUSEPS works exclusively with North American 120-volt systems and will not fit outlets in regions using different standards.
