StarTech.com 6ft (2m) UK Computer Power Cable, 16AWG, BS 1363 to C19, 13A 250V, Black Replacement AC Power Cord, UK Power Cable for PC and Network Equipment

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re just trying to replace a tired kettle lead for a UK PC, server, or network rack kit, this StarTech 6ft power cable is a pretty sensible buy. The length is useful in real cabinets (you often need that extra bit of reach without turning cable runs into a spaghetti monster), and “proper UK to IEC” replacements like this tend to be more reliable than random no-name cords. At £17.32 ex-VAT, it’s not cheap-cheap, but it’s in the ballpark you’d expect for a reseller-grade brand where the connector fit and moulding quality actually matter.

I’d recommend it to anyone in a small office or IT team who wants dependable spares for managed network gear or desktops—especially if you keep spares for swap-outs during maintenance. I wouldn’t overthink it for typical day-to-day use, but I also wouldn’t buy it if you’re already good for cable management and don’t need the extra 2m run; it’s a replacement cord, not a performance upgrade. One small caution: make sure your equipment takes a C19-style inlet—if your device is a standard IEC C13 or similar, you’ll buy the wrong thing and end up swapping anyway.
