Hrmmm...  Learn something new every day, I guess..  LOL   I've got
about a dozen different PDUs here from APC and Best, and none of them have that 
feature...  ??

I can definitely see where this would be handy in certain situations, but, the 
fact remains that with only a single power supply, you still have a single 
point of failure, no matter the number of UPS's that are feeding it (not that 
this "Y cable" would solve the problem, either...).
