SGI Crimson Questions & hardware request...

The original power cords were made made of 12 AWG SO cord with NEMA L5-20P and L5-20R connectors. SGI used Hubbell plugs, though Leviton also makes compatible products. Anyone know the cord length offhand? I don't have ready access to mine right now. I think they were 12-15ft. I just installed a bunch of Hubbell IG2310 receptacles a few weeks ago. They are slightly more expensive than HBL2310 receptacles, but are not a bad choice in a data center environment where you are installing everything in conduit and running a dedicated ground to each device anyway. If you are wiring stuff with romex, there isn't any benefit in using a isolated ground device, so stick with the HBL2310 instead. Either way, make sure you use a deep 4" metal box as these devices are rather large. I can dig up the part numbers for the boxes and mud-rings I usually use if needed. http://www.hubbellnet.com/max_htm/PDF_Literature_Library/h4636.pdf Cord receptacle: NEMA L5-20R Hubbell HBL2313 - 2 Pole, 3 Wire Grounding 20A 125V AC Twist-Lock Connector Body http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring/section-b-datasheet.asp?PN=HBL2313 Cord plug: NEMA L5-20P Hubbell HBL2311 - 2 Pole, 3 Wire Grounding 20A 125V AC Twist-Lock Plug http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring/section-b-datasheet.asp?PN=HBL2311 Wall receptacle: NEMA L5-20R Hubbell HBL2310 - 2 Pole, 3 Wire Grounding 20A 125V AC Twist-Lock Receptacle http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring/section-b-datasheet.asp?PN=HBL2310 -- OR -- Hubbell IG2310 - - 2 Pole, 3 Wire Grounding 20A 125V AC Isolated Ground Twist-Lock Receptacle http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring/section-b-datasheet.asp?PN=IG2310
