Is it too much to ask, a right angled male kettle lead extension ?

MassiveJim · 27 Nov 2017 at 14:44

I need male to female kettle leads for my UPS, however due to having limited space at the back of my comms cab I need the male end(Which plugs in to the UPS) to be at 90 degrees.

There are literally hundreds of options for the female end to be right angled at ~£2, but As soon as I need the male end to be right angled people are asking £15/20 for a cable.

madness!

Am I missing something somewhere ?

I'd guess its because of it's uniqueness. TBH I've never seen one.

to be honest I have a none right angled version here, which I tried to wire up last night but there are no washers for the screws where you connect the wires so they just kept coming loose.
