Dunno about "quite common", though. I've been working in computer
rooms for 32 years now and I've never seen one before.


Well, I've done lots, in broadcastingplant and associated equipment -
routers, etc.


Where do you buy the plugs or distribution boards? All the ones I've seen
have used Commando plugs.

Placed under the floor, with a lid, under the equipment they serve,
they're an elegant answer.


Ours all used standard 13A plugtops, or in the years of madness,

Why madness? Apart from cost they are pretty reliable.
