You can make one. A few feet of #14 SJT wire (flexible cord) and a couple
of replacement ends. It'll probably cost you between $15 and $20. Use
#12 cord if it's over about 12 feet long.

Don't follow this advice! #14 is only good for 15 amps -- we have NO idea
what the amperage of your unit is!

Please -- if you're building in an A/C unit, why in the world wouldn't you
build in a proper power source for it? Do it right, and avoid a potential
fire hazard.

I bet you a cold beverage that your owners manual says not to use an
extension cord...

How many 230v air conditioners have you seen that drew more than 15
amps? A 30000 BTU unit with a rather poor EER of 8.5 will draw 15A at
230 volts. The only air conditioners I've ever seen 30000 BTU had
EER's of about 11; a 35700 BTU Friedrich air conditioner draws 14 amps.
