APC Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C19 to C20 (90 Degree), 1.2m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £147.22 ex‑VAT for a set of six locked 90° C19↔C20 leads, this is one of those “pay a bit extra for not having headaches” purchases. The locking matters in the real world: these cables don’t work themselves loose the way friction-fit leads sometimes can in busy racks, and the 90° angle is genuinely useful when you’ve got tight rear clearance or you’re trying to avoid bending stress and blocked airflow behind your UPS/PDU/enclosure. If you manage data halls, server rooms, or comms racks where technicians swap kit often, that durability and fit-for-purpose shape usually justifies the spend.

That said, I wouldn’t buy these unless you actually need the locking C19↔C20 relationship and the 90° routing. If your gear has plenty of clearance and you’re mostly doing one-off installs with careful cable dressing, cheaper non‑locking straight leads can be “good enough.” Also double-check that your equipment expects the C19 input/output pairing—people get caught out assuming all IEC C19/C20 combinations are interchangeable. For the right rack setup, though, these are a sensible buy because they reduce downtime, fiddling, and “why won’t this stay seated?” calls.
