Default odd mains plug

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.



That's a big ask, considering how long I've been retired, but like this

(same thing?)

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


Why madness? Apart from cost they are pretty reliable.


The connectors were ok, it was the folks who changed plugtops or made
interconnects so vacuum cleaners, angle grinders, etc, would work on the
super quiet tech mains. And all the legit gear that had standard connectors
so had to be worked round in a Walsall area
