APC Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C19 to C20 (90 Degree), 1.8m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £180.86 ex‑VAT for a kit of six locking C19 to C20 1.8m cords, this is the kind of “boring but correct” accessory you buy when you want reliable rack power without fiddling. The 90‑degree head is a real quality‑of‑life thing in dense server rows—less strain on the connector and fewer awkward cable bends behind PDUs/UPS. If you’re running proper locking IEC style connections (C19/C20) in a UK server environment, you’re also getting the benefit of a more secure fit versus non‑locking leads, which matters if anyone ever bumps cables during maintenance.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this unless you’ve confirmed you actually need C19↔C20 locking and that 1.8m/90‑degree is the right routing for your racks. The main “value” question is price per lead versus what you can source locally—if you’re just filling gaps with standard lengths, you can sometimes do better. It’s also not a great choice for mixed fleets where devices use different inlet types; you’ll end up with the wrong ends. Overall: good for server/storage racks with C19/C20 equipment where tidy, reliable power connections are worth paying for.
