APC Leak Sensor Extension Cable - 20 ft (6.1 m)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The APC Leak Sensor Extension Cable (20 ft / 6.1 m) is one of those “small part, big peace-of-mind” items. If you already own an APC leak sensor, this cable lets you place the sensor where it actually matters (near plumbing risk points, under/around chilled water runs, or closer to the likely drip zone) without having to relocate equipment. In real server-room terms, that’s the difference between a sensor that’s effectively blind vs one that catches a problem early enough to do something about it. At £230.18 ex-VAT, it’s not cheap, but it’s the sort of cost you only notice when you *don’t* have it.

Who should buy: anyone running APC environmental/monitoring setups in a room where the cable run from the sensor to the controller will be longer than the standard lead, and where the physical layout makes “place it sensibly” important. Who should *think twice*: if you’re still planning your layout, measure first and avoid overbuying cable length you won’t need. Also, don’t buy it expecting it to magically add coverage—this only helps if your existing APC leak sensing system already supports it and you’re extending correctly. If you can’t get the sensor into the right spot, no amount of extension cable will fix that.
