Anybody know of a UK source for a super-short "kettle lead" for my notebook PC?

Not RS specific but others may benefit from the answer. For a touring travel companion I have a lovely light weight Dell XPS13 notebook PC. (Bought lightly used off Ebay). When packing to travel it niggles me that I have a compact PC and PSU then a giant 2 meter mains lead to stow!

Can anybody point me to a stubby power lead - UK 3 pin to clover leaf type kettle connector? A wall wart to which I could attach my PSU direct would be perfect but a short lead say 1 foot long would likely be a cheaper solution.

Happy to make up my own if I can source a cloverleaf type kettle connector. I may have to go routing round electrical retailers but mail order would be a more economical use of my time.

P.S. A continental two pin power lead of similar dimensions would also be useful!

Can you not just buy a normal length one and cut it down to whatever size you need, fitting a 3 pin or 2 pin glug on the end?

Try Lindy.co.uk they show a 0.2m one

can't you charge it through the USB-C port using a phone charger?

I have a 12 " Dell laptop from work. When I go into the office I do not need the mains brick. I just plug the docking station cable in to the USB-C port. This charges the laptop, gives me a connection into the network and connects to the desktop screen, mouse & keyboard. etc.

FYI ultimately I went with this:

w_w_w.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B083LK6KMV/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

Has both USB A and USB C slots, will definitely charge my Dell XPS13 and the wall wart has swappable connections for UK and Europe etc. It ticks all the boxes at £34.99 and should save me a bit of space and weight when touring.

(As usual you will have to remove the underscores on the w_w_w bit)
