APC AP8716SX340 power cable Red 1.8 m C19 coupler C20 coupler

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve already got an APC rack/PDU setup that uses C19 to C20, this lead makes life simpler — and that simplicity is the main reason to pay for an “APC-branded” cable. At 1.8m it’s a practical length for typical rack-to-PDU/UPS routing without creating a rat’s nest, and the C19↔C20 pairing is the sort of thing that either matches your gear perfectly or causes annoying incompatibility. For a UK business reseller environment, the value here is less about magic performance and more about reducing “got the wrong lead” downtime.

At £181.92 ex‑VAT, though, I wouldn’t buy this unless you’re confident the connectors match your specific outlets and you actually need that length. Power cables are often one of the easiest ways to spend too much when a compatible equivalent would do the job just as well. This is a good fit for datacentres, managed IT providers, and anyone standardising on APC power accessories where consistent fit and traceability matter. If it’s a one-off replacement and your existing installation already has similar-rated, compatible C19/C20 cabling, I’d shop carefully rather than default to APC pricing.
