C7 power cable but with square end?

Recently purchased a LAP under cabinet led strip light. It comes with a 1500mm power cable with a plug on the end. The 1500mm cable isn’t quite long enough for where I want to place it. It appears to be a C7 connector but it’s square rather than the usual rounded end. Anyone know where I could get a longer one from?

Thanks. It came with a 500mm link lead, wasn't sure if these should only be used to link between lights? Even though they fit together. Ideally, would just need a longer supply cable with the plug and the above connector.

just use the link lead.

I probably will if I can’t find a longer cable. It would just mean using some trunking that is way bigger than the actual cable, due to the connector. Not a massive issue though, as it won’t be seen.

It's a polarised connector. You can just use a standard IEC C7 so long as you know which way round the connectors are wired. Use an AVO/Multimeter to detect which is which and insert the 'normal' C7 into the connector the right way round.
