Default USB PSUs with C14 inlet?

Has anyone seen any decent USB PSUs (2A ideally) with a IEC C14 style
inlet? (or even better a pass through)?

(basically for an application where I have a power feed to a commercial
display TV, that is presented only on normal C13 style mains lead. No
easy way of getting to the supply end, so I need a way of splitting the
power to feed the TV and also an additional USB PSU to run a Raspberry
Pi (the TV has no USB sockets of its own))



How about something like this (a Y splitter adapter)?

Yup could be part of a solution... I also found this on RS:

Cut one plug off, graft on a €śstandard€ť UK 13 amp socket and plug your USB
PSU into that?


Its a bit clunky and lumpy since this will have to be on display of the
rear of the TV. (The TVs are mounted on a ceiling pole in the window of
a shop front). A more "laptop" layout of USB supply might make it a bit
neater.
