Uh, you might want to be careful with these connections. You'll note the IEC-320 C13/C14 connectors (eg, what you find on PC's) are 15 Amps, but only 65 degC rated. The IEC-320 C15/C16 (with the notch) are also 15 Amps, but are rated to a pin temperature of 120 degC. I doubt Cisco did it to be a PITA, electrical codes probably required it for some reason. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request () tmbg org, www.tmbg.org
