Jameco has a 14/3 2.5m power cable in black for $3.95 each, part number
125541 but they use a generic pic for the illustration so I don't know that
it has the notch but I can put that in if not - I just want a cable that has
the cajones to handle the juice I send through it. They also have my
heatsinks so it's time to cut an order - they've been faithfully sending me
expensive catalogs for years and I haven't ordered from them in probably 2
of the last years.
It appears that most of the US shipped/made heating devices have either a
proprietary plug or are wired fixed with a restraining grommet (I know
there's another name for them, I can't think of it). I even checked with an
appliance dealer here - no good they didn't have aclue even after I faxed
them the end view of the plug with an arrow to the notch I needed to pay
special attention to -makes you feel good about the "experts in the field"
whn it comes to high current appliances huh?

The Aussie/OZ site that I first found info on them

everyone has their own odd
plugs to go to the power receptacle, go figure.
I'd really like to find an attachable (screws/solder/etc) type to put on
my
own cable and I could even wire this to a
disconnect/safety box on the
wall
and make it doubly safe. I'm running the server
with one of the 410 watt
redundant power supplies out right now as it's not need yet and saves the
curent draw from 12 amps down to 8, making the 18 AWG cable safe since I
heated ina groove with a soldering iron and then trimmed the melted flash
off t he sides of the groove.
Again - commonly available here in the UK. Most mail order electronics
companies here sell em I think :&)
