Geez - it looks like a 9306-rtp pdu to me.

I have no idea though - I have never seen one until your pic.
But google seems to know a lot about it.

That cable may be .25$/lb. at recycling yard if you cut the plugs off.

It is exactly what is says, a rack mount PDU.

Open one up and see if there are any small parts that are thin, flat and circular with 2 leads. If so these are probably MOVs which would clamp in at some voltage for lightening protection.

You could change the wiring harness and use them at home it if suits you, or sell the whole box of them on craigslist for small change.

Bounce me a PM, and let me know what you might be interested in getting for it... I'll buy it off ya, if you wanna sell it cheap!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
