Yeah it's pretty much impossible to plug in incompatible cords to outlets. The
reason I think it would be helpful is when you're viewing a rack preparing to
deploy new equipment it would let you confirm that the power required is
available on the PDU without having to visit the rack.
I only have 11 racks to manage here in the same building so it's not a huge
issue. But I could have more racks in another building in the future and being
able to look in RackTables to confirm exactly which variety of power outlet is
available could save me a lot of time and headache down the road.

Subject: [racktables-users] Re: PDU outlets...
I've got a small variety of PDU's in my racks at work. There are some with
C13-C14 outlets and C19-C20 outlets. And a few with standard NEMA5-15R
outlets. There doesn't seem to be a way to differentiate these when I add a
PDU. I'd like to be able to see which plugs are which type of outlet. Is
this possible, or maybe planned in a future release?
