PRO ELECPEL01253 IEC C14 Plug to 10A UK Socket Power Lead Black, 0.5m

I've got a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device attached to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) which allows the NAS to shut down gracefully in the event of a power outage (and power up again when the power returns). Connected to the NAS, I have an external hard disk for additional back up of critical files. This requires mains power via an external DC power supply.The UPS has spare power outlets in the form of IEC C14 sockets. So this unit is exactly what I needed to connect the Hard disk to the UPS. Now both the NAS and the Hard Disk are protected from power outages.It's a simple item but it does its job well.

Good value And quality

I'm happy with this socket, it was exactly what I needed.I don't want to say anything negative about this because it is fine for my needs, I personally have no complaints, however, for people who want incredible durability, I wouldn't want to bet on the strenth of the plastic, the build quality is great but the plastic is light.If you aren't going to abuse it on the road this will be fine for you.Good buy, great price, 100% satisfied.

Great product. Used this with my UPS unit.

When you get a UPS it's a great thing - you can survive power cuts when everything else stops working. Apart from when the UPS doesn't have regular sockets on it.That's where this comes in, converting an IEC socket into a regular 3-pin UK plug socket. The length of the cable is just right to keep things tidy and enable good positioning.

Exactly what I needed to convert a long power lead that had been routed a long distance and through trunking into a regular plug socked. Didnt expect to find a converter to do it so was really pleased with this and its great value for money.

perfect to connect to apc power strip in server room

The materials of construction are reasonable and, with one very strong caveat, these are potentially good value.However, the one I was sent had a significant issue. At the re-wireable socket terminals, the mains cables have been just stripped and left naked, rather than the use of ferrules. In this particular case, this meant that the strands of the earth conductor were actually spread apart by the terminal screw and just a small proportion of them were actually making good contact with said screw. This is serious enough as-is and why electricians and quality equipment make use of crimped ferrules however, if it were the case for either the line or neutral conductors then the load capability of the socket would have been severely compromised, with the potential for overheating.I'm happy to keep mine and even purchase further units if needed, as I'm now aware of this potential manufacturing defect and will re-terminate the flex in them properly myself before use. However for the average home user, I think this really isn't good enough.
