HP Poly Video IEC Power Cord

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, this is the kind of boring but necessary item that only becomes “expensive” when you don’t have the right cable to hand. At £18.70 ex-VAT for an HP IEC power lead, you’re paying for compatibility and being able to keep a conference room or office AV setup running without faffing about. If you manage HP conferencing gear, thin clients, small servers, or any rack/AV components that take a standard IEC-style inlet, buying a spare (or replacing a worn cable) is good value—fiddly power connectors and damaged leads are a common cause of intermittent “it won’t power on” headaches.

I’d avoid it if you’re just hunting for the cheapest generic cable. In most offices, a lot of power leads look the same, but the “wrong” one can bite you with fit/retention or cable quality, and IEC leads aren’t all equally robust. If you need this specifically for HP equipment and you’ve confirmed the connector type matches, it’s a sensible, low-risk buy. If you haven’t confirmed compatibility, don’t order yet—measure the inlet type and check your device’s power input first.
