ATEN C14 Smart-Lock Plug Connector

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The ATEN C14 Smart‑Lock Plug Connector is one of those “small but fussy” pieces that can save hassle when you’re standardising installs. If you’re rolling out ATEN smart cable/locking accessories across meeting rooms, boardrooms, or managed offices, it’s a decent bit of kit because it helps make connections more consistent and harder to accidentally loosen—exactly what you want when techs or end users aren’t being careful. At £18.66 ex‑VAT, it’s not a bargain, but it’s also not the kind of add‑on that will sink a project budget, especially if you’re buying a few per site.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it “just because” for a single desktop setup. If you don’t already have compatible ATEN smart‑locking cabling/fixtures in your environment, it won’t add much value—so it’s easy to waste money if you’re not matching parts properly. Best suited to AV/IT resellers and integrators who care about repeatability in the field; less suited to teams cobbling together ad‑hoc connections who mainly need cheap, straightforward cables.
