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...).
