I will soon be making dust in the garage so need to get the network cupboard closed, At the moment I have the switches with the rack brackets on backwards to move them far enough forward to have its power cable go in the back.

If I was to get one of the angled IEC cables that would let me put the brackets on correctly and close the door, allowing air in only thru the vent that I will put a filter on.

Plenty of up and down angle ones all over aliexpress, but if I order from there I expect to get something with a Chinese plug on it claiming to be AU, and the cable made of 0.05mm copper clad aluminum that gets warm just running a small load.

Anyone seen up or down angle ones available locally? The typical left or right facing ones will not work because that would put the plug into the one below/above it.

I've only seen left/right angled IEC connectors. Not up/down ones. Not to say they aren't out there, but must be pretty uncommon.

Like the jaycar one but it goes the wrong way for me, it would be into the side of the rack probably, if not too close for comfort.

I would have thought the wire your own off Ali would be fine and use your own cable.

I am a bit skeptical about buying Mains AC stuff from Ali - if its not NZ Certified and burns your house down there is no Insurance

Not with 2 of the items above each other. I could always restack the rack to put something between the swtiches but I was hoping for minimal effort with some cables to suit.
