It's mostly used for servers with redundant power supplies, if one leg of
power goes down the server stays up on the second leg.....

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...).
