I believe (from what the part number says ) to prevent standard 18awg cords
from being usedd. Once Dave gave me the IEC hint I
found 10A cords in
Digikey for $3.50 each, stright or angled. I hadn't reffered
to them as IEC
in a while so searches didn't pick up on what I needed.
Worst part is that the manufacturer is named "assman" - I think of myself as
an "assman" but don't label myself as such :-)

It's a standard PC type
(HP)
plug on the server side except that it's got a
dimple on the side opposite
the angled corners and it's either 16 or 14AWG due to the 12A draw of the
server. I also assume it to have a different plug, not sure though. I'm
sure
that other applications use the same thing with all
the heavy servers out
there and that someone has an aftermarket source or has a few ratholed
with
no immenent use for it/them.
HP has theirs listd for US as 8120-5395 but is no longer available (go
figure - no power cord and you have a useless server).
I really don't want to chance grooving a standard 18AWG cord and watching
the fire dept as they hose my shop and new server down.
I just checked JDR and Jameco - Jameco lists a standard cable at 14AWG but
no real picture of the end, just a generic photo/figure. Now it's time to
dig out the Mouser and Digikey catalogs - might find the HP end that I
need,
I have plenty of heavy duty power cables with regular
female outlets (some
12AWG) that I can use. In that case I could even wire it direct or to 220
(autoranging/adjusting unit). Have to research a little I guess.
Wonder what the dimple is for? should be able to use a standard IEC
connector cord with heay gauge wire. Can't believe that thing is that
big of a juice hog. Electric heaters draw about that much power.
