Re: stacking pdu

Well, I was kinda thinking this would turn out to be a dumb question / have an obvious answer. Apparently not. But it seems I can't go buy a solution either. I guess there isn't much of a market (though I am just talking software - maybe someone could make an update :) ).

stacking pdu

Is there a way to stack PDUs? like, with 30A 220, we need more plugs than power but I'd like them to communicate to make sure we don't over power the circuit. Do any APC or Triplite systems support this?

rack cable length

This is probably a stupid question, but We've got a few racks in a colo. The racks don't have any decent cable management (square metal holes to attach velcro to). We either order cable too long and end up with lots of loops which get in the way (no place to loop lots of excess really) or too
