I use these to put ONT PSUs onto a UPS

The main problem with these is they aren't an item you can walk into any computer store and buy. I've tried to buy these in the past, but given their lack of availability and rather high price for what they are, it's easier to just get a plug and make your own from a spare cable.

Chorus should support what they've installed with proper replacement parts.

The RRP is $9+GST so I see your point - you can cut an end off a c13/c14 cable and wire it up to a 3pin socket from burnings for about the same price

Unless you are installing it for someone else, since that would then be electrical work so you cant do it for hire without the right qualifications.

I think I paid around $5 or so for a similar cable from PB tech last time I needed one.

Yup in which case id just order off CDL

I keep forgetting that not everyone on here has accounts with Vendors

Nice discussion folks - but the OP was asking for one to borrow, on a more urgent side of the topic.
