UPS: Do i require a special extension cord for power in?
- by rism
I have a couple of Tripplite UPS systems.
The power in cables are bright orange and about 2 meters in length. I want to put the system on the other side of the room but for some reason the UPS keep "going off" over there.
So I guess the wall power sockets on that side of the room are a little dodgy.
So i figured Id just go online and get some replacement UPS power IN (from wall to UPS) cables of an appropriate length. But i cant find any anywhere. (auction sites, tripplite store, cable websites).
So now I'm wondering if that's just because you can use a standard extension cord of an appropriate wattage?
I thought the UPS power IN cables were "special". Is that not so?
