Locking IEC (C13) sockets

In a thread at ProSoundWeb, a reference was made to these:

These used to be hard to find.

Very interesting. Some sort of wedge mechanism? - not told. Good ideas, wonder about longitivity if wedge and potential damage to what its plugged into. Not aware of much of a problem in in-plugging, and or silicone to fix possibly seen. Interesting though.

Shame they don't look at first glance to be compatible with the locking IECs that are already out there - often blue, for example on QSC K series...

Ya, kind of wish more stuff had that connector. Really like it on those QSC boxes.

It looks like QSC might be using the Volex VLock.

I've seen the QSC version before. I think CTI uses them on their wireless transmitters.

I love locking IEC way more than PowerCon. PowerCon is difficult to work with and chews up your fingers if you have to rewire more than one in a row. Locking IEC is where it's at.

Here is a vid for the Quail Electronics version. however like most of the others available, it seems to only come in a molded to the cable version.

For me the interesting thing about the Webber version is that it was available as a socket only, for use with your own wire. Very handy for custom lengths.
