I just got a new UPS, because, yeah, without a battery, things can get dicey.

But what was _odd_ about the UPS, is that all the outlets are IEC 13 or 14.
So now I have a UPS and nothing to plug into it.

So now I'll wait for 20cm-long converter cords, so that I can plug in things
like it's a normal European outlet.

Is anyone familiar with the "why" for a UPS having IEC outlets? I was not
familiar with the outlet type, aside from maybe as part of a laptop cable.
But aside from space issues on the UPS, it's mostly just something that I'd
never be able to use all 6 outlets.
