APC Integrated Rack LCD/KVM USB Cable - 6ft (1.8m)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The APC integrated rack LCD/KVM USB cable is one of those boring-but-critical bits of kit: if you’ve got an APC rack console setup, a mismatched or dying cable is the sort of problem that turns “server room downtime” into a weekend project. At £58.87 ex-VAT for a 6ft run, it’s not cheap, but the price feels in line with APC-specific spares—especially because KVM/console connections are picky and you really don’t want to “make do” with an incompatible lead in a managed environment.

I’d buy this if you’re maintaining an APC rack LCD/KVM console and you either need a replacement or a cleaner cable run to suit your rack layout. It’s also sensible for a reseller’s spares shelf: one cable can save hours of troubleshooting when someone notices a console not connecting or unstable behaviour. I’d avoid buying it “just in case” unless you’re sure you’re matching the exact console/cable type—these systems are often ecosystem-dependent, and returning the wrong lead is usually more hassle than the cost difference. If you already have a working cable, this is more of a maintenance purchase than a value-add upgrade.
