Comments in another thread about using IEC connectors for 208V power prompted me to recommend the following sources for power cords. I have found these two vendors extremely useful in supplying power cords in various lengths, configurations and connector types: Kord King and Quail Electronics.
Can anyone else recommend good sources for power cords?
Good post Ken. It looks like I get the quail 3500.039 from a local supplier. I am really trying to avoid using cable management arms and ty-wraps to bundle power cords and am much more in favor of using "right-sized" power cords that can be routed neatly. Knowing that they also carry .5M cords makes me want to go even shorter than I already do.
I've recently my vendor supplies Quail power cords. I'm looking to get right and left angle C13 heads so that I don't have loops going toward the center of the rack, then going back to the sides of the rack for cable management.
On a side note, I got a peek at the standard build for one of our HP servers...HP wants 56 bucks a pop for a single cable. I get the quail pair for 15. :/ c'mon HP, your cords aren't that special.
Sort-of unrelated, but has anyone seen a vendor with a L6-30 Y-cable (with two L6-30R receptacles)? Alternatively, a rack-mount power bar with one L6-30P plug, and a pair of L6-30R receptacles would work too.
I've seen Y-cables with L6-30P and two C20 plugs, but that's it.

We use Powerware PDU2408N2 rack PDUs for this. If you do find a Y cord, please post a source.
