APC Power Cord, C19 to IEC309 16A, 2.5m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, this is one of those “don’t overthink it” UPS bits: if you’ve got an APC UPS that uses a C19-style input lead and you need a proper 16A, 2.5m run, this is a sensible replacement. The length is long enough to tidy routing without getting into silly extension territory, and paying for APC-branded support usually means fewer headaches with compatibility and connector fit. At £83 ex-VAT you’re not getting it for pennies, but you are getting a cable you can trust in the kind of environment where you don’t want flaky connections.

Who should buy it: IT managers and facilities teams supporting APC UPS installs who just need an official, correctly terminated lead for maintenance, spares, or small redeployments. Who shouldn’t: if you’re trying to solve a “wrong connector” problem, this won’t magically fix it—make sure your UPS model and your PDU/power inlet actually match the C19 ↔ IEC309 16A pairing. Also, if you only need a short internal route, you may be overpaying for length. If your current lead is the right type and you’re just replacing wear or adding a spare, it’s a fair buy.
