I am hoping to turn my laundry room into a mini data-center.
My dryer takes a 4 pronged, 120/240v NEMA 14-30 receptacle.
Most all PDUs seem to have NEMA L6-30 plugs (3 prongs, twist lock).
Obviously I could call and pay an electrician to replace the NEMA 14-30 receptacle with a NEMA L6-30 Receptacle... but then I would have to do the same when I sold the house as I doubt the buyer would be interested in a data-center of a laundry room.
Even if I could find a power bar or transformer or something that gave me some NEMA 5-30 receptacles then I would be good to go.

Easiest way (that is also the most flexible) is to just get a pigtail adapter that plugs into the 14-30 socket and gives you an L6-30 plug. That way you don't have to rewire your house and you still can select just about any PDU you want.
You can get one for about 100 bucks here: but you might also be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.
