APC Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C13 to C14, 1.2m, Blue

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £86.23 ex-VAT for six locking C13-to-C14 cords, this is one of those “you’ll stop thinking about it” purchases. If you run anything in a server room, comms rack, or managed IT environment where cables get nudged, moved, or swapped during maintenance, the locking heads are genuinely useful—less accidental pull-outs, fewer intermittent gremlins, and quicker service calls. The blue isn’t just aesthetics; it can also help with visual organisation or standardisation across sites/projects.

That said, it’s only the right buy if you actually need *locking* and you care about APC-branded reliability/consistency. If these are just for occasional desk/bench use or low-traffic installs, you can usually get similar-length C13–C14 leads for less and nobody will notice the difference. Also worth being clear on compatibility: these are for C13 to C14, so make sure you’re not mixing in IEC-connector types across your gear. If you want a tidy, dependable cabling standard for racks, this is a decent value; if you just need spares “in case”, it’s probably more money than you need to spend.
