APC Power Cord, Locking C19 to IEC309-16A, 3.0m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is the kind of power lead you buy when you *actually* need it to behave: a proper locking C19-to-IEC309 (16A) cable, with enough length (3m) to tidy up racks or servers without stressing plugs. In the real world, the locking feature is what justifies the spend over generic “figure-it-out” leads—less chance of accidental disconnection when you’re pushing equipment in/out of enclosures, servicing, or cable-managing at the rear of a rack. At ~£83 ex-VAT, it’s not cheap, but for B2B environments where uptime matters, it’s a sensible line-item if your gear calls for that specific connection.

Who should buy it: UK resellers/sysadmins supporting data, comms, and industrial-ish gear that uses IEC309 16A for distribution or inlet feeds, where you want a locking connection for reliability. Who should *not*: anyone with standard IEC C13/C14 or basic kettle-leads setups—if your equipment doesn’t match that inlet type, you’ll be paying for the wrong cable. Also, if you only need a short, occasional replacement and don’t care about locking, there are usually cheaper equivalents—just make sure the connector types truly match before ordering.
