APC Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C19 to C20, 1.8m, Blue

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is one of those “boring but mission-critical” items. A proper locking C19 to C20 lead (and at 1.8m) is exactly what you want for racks where the last thing you need is a power connector that works its way loose over time—especially if you’re feeding PDUs or power supplies in a busy server room. The fact it’s an APC kit and locking style matters more than people expect; in practice it reduces faffing during maintenance and improves reliability in the real world. At ~£180 ex-VAT for six, it’s not cheap, but it’s also not outrageous considering you’re paying for the right form factor and dependable connectors rather than “close enough” cables.

Who should buy: UK IT teams reselling or supporting APC-based infrastructure, anyone standardising spares, or businesses with older rack setups that need locking C19/C20 connections and a bit of reach. Who should not: if you’re building generic cabling for low-stakes installs (or you don’t specifically need locking C19/C20), you’ll likely get better value with non-locking equivalents—or shorter/longer options that match your rack layout exactly. Also, double-check you actually need C19→C20; if your devices are different (common), you’ll end up with a tidy stack of cables that are “correct” but unusable.
