APC Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C19 to C20, 0.6m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re already standardising on APC/PDU/C19–C20 style connections in a UK rack environment, this kit is a sensible “keep spares on hand” buy. The locking C19-to-C20 design is the key differentiator in day-to-day IT work: it reduces the chance of accidental unplugging (someone nudges a lead, a cable is routed badly, or a temporary move turns into a downtime incident). At 6 short 0.6m leads, it’s also practical for patching between outlets and PDUs/UPS units without creating a rats’ nest.

That said, £113.58 ex-VAT for six cables is only good value if you actually need that length and that connector pairing. If your racks use IEC C13/C14, or you typically want longer runs for cable management, you’ll be overpaying for something that fits narrowly. Also, if this is just “general spares” and your current setup isn’t APC C19–C20 locking, I’d hold off—buy the right variant for your specific gear rather than locking into a cable type you might not use.

**Who should buy:** data centre closets, server-room teams, and MSP resellers who maintain APC-based UPS/PDU fleets and care about reliability and clean swaps. **Who should avoid:** anyone with mismatched connector standards, unclear cable length needs, or who just wants generic power cords for general equipment—those buyers will find cheaper, more flexible options.
