IEC cables

[d1avyt]

I am looking to get a UPS and notice that most of them have outputs for IEC plugs rather than UK standard plug.

Most of my homelab runs off of bricks and UK plugs (Router, PC, mutiple switches and NUCs). How do you get around this for your homelabs?

Should I be buying new power cables with IEC? Do I need the bricks if plugging into a UPS? Do I just buy an IEC to UK plug extension socket? Can extension cords /4gang sockets be safely used with Eaton UPS?

Any help and advice is appreciated as I have little to no knowledge in this specific field.

hello  

I would recommend buying new power cables with IEC compared to use adaptor to reduce risk of over rating of your connection, It should be more safe.

I'm sure you can find some of them easily on the web.
