APC Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C13 to C14, 0.6m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £56.77 ex-VAT, this APC locking C13→C14 power cord kit is the kind of “small spend, big sanity” purchase you make when you’re fed up with leads working loose, or you’re standardising cabling across racks. The locking feature is genuinely useful in busy server rooms and comms closets where cables get bumped during maintenance, patching, or airflow/door access. At 0.6m it’s also a sensible length for most rack-to-PDU/UPS runs without creating a spaghetti mess.

That said, it’s only great value if you actually need APC-branded locking cords and that exact interconnect type. If you’re cost-optimising for a low-criticality install, generic locking C13→C14 cords from a reputable manufacturer often get you 80–90% of the benefit for less. I’d also only buy this kit if your environment is consistently using that standard—otherwise you’ll end up with “almost compatible” spares that don’t get used quickly. Overall: good for datacentre-lite / SMB infrastructure where uptime and cable reliability matter, less compelling if you just need basic non-locking replacements.
