Hello guys, i recently bought a monitor for my computer and the power cord/cable came with it is "type F to c5" and where i live the plug i need is "type G to c5", should i just buy any "type G to c5" and plug it into my monitor ? or do cables have different fuse and thin cable diffrences within it self? i hope you get my point.
 
And decent quality "type G to c5"cable should do.

With the UK-style "type G" plugs there is a choice of fuse and you should check it matches the manufacturers specifications, most likely it would be a 5A or 3A fuse for a monitor and that ought to be already fitted for that C5 style of cable.
