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.
