PDU Cable - 10A, IEC320 -C14 to IEC 320 -C13 (8ft/2.5m)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is the kind of unglamorous cable that actually saves you time when you’ve got the right rack gear but the wrong lead. An HPE IEC C14-to-C13 lead at a sensible length (2.5m) is ideal for server racks where you need to route power from a PDU to an IT device without straining the cable run. For £18.73 ex-VAT, the price sits in the “reasonable for OEM/brand” zone—so I’d buy it if you want something that’s reliably the right fit for HPE PDUs/devices and you don’t fancy gambling on off-brand compatibility in production.

That said, I wouldn’t treat this as a “deal” unless you specifically need that form factor (C14 on the supply side, C13 on the equipment side) and that length. If you’re building out a big spares pool, you can sometimes get generic equivalent leads cheaper—just make sure they’re properly rated and not made of flimsy cable that goes stiff or kinks in a rack environment. Net: buy this if it fixes a specific, known connection need in a rack. Don’t buy it “just because” if you’re not confident about the exact plug type and run length.
