[kwlug-disc] OT: C15 power cable

[Cedric Puddy]

Hi Paul,

I had wondered what those were called, but never cared enough to look it up — thanks!  

I sure do have… at least one (I try to keep my eye on one or two at all times, because otherwise, it’ll be a dark and stormy night, and something weird will happen wherein I desperately end up needing one).  HP is well known for shipping them with their switches (presumably in an abundance of caution and all that).

When I’m in the office tomorrow, I can look for it, happy to loan it to you/give it to you/let you bring your switch in to test/whatev seems best.  PM me to arrange details, unless you’ve found one in the meantime.
