APC Power Cord, C13 to C14, 2.5m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is one of those boring-but-actually-important buys. An APC C13-to-C14 2.5m lead is exactly what you want if you’re trying to tidy up a UPS placement or avoid stretching cables where you really shouldn’t. At £29.45 ex-VAT, it’s not “cheap,” but it’s also not wildly overpriced for an APC-branded, business-grade power cable that you can trust in a rack/office environment. The 2.5m length is usually the sweet spot for typical UPS-to-device routing without turning your setup into a spaghetti disaster.

Who should buy it: anyone running APC UPS units and wants a proper replacement or a clean extension for service access and cable management. It’s especially sensible if you care about reliable power connections and don’t want to gamble on unknown generics that may fit “kind of” but don’t feel as solid or consistent over time. Who shouldn’t: if you’re just doing a one-off cable swap and cost is king, you might find non-APC equivalents for less—but then you’re trading convenience/assurance for savings. If the job matters (it usually does with power), I’d rather pay this and be done with it.
