The Aussie/OZ site that I first found info on them
from calls them heater
cords, so obviously they are in common use where a removable cable is needed
on a high current device/appliance. Of course 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 :&)
