But, concerned about spacing (I need to find an alternative that is
accompanied by engineering drawings, or at least, isometrics to get
a feel for the volume occupied (Hard to perceive depth in
black-on-black)

 They're about 2.5 times as long as a typical power plug.

Yes, but are they "edge stackable"?  I.e., can I use an *adjacent* PDU
position if one is installed in "this" position?  Or, does it block/overhang
its neighbors?
Some seem designed to mate to the end of *cords* instead of a PDU
(they seem to have a bulkier composition as if meant to be held
in a hand)

Anyone used things like these?  How well do they adhere?

 They hold on as tight as any IEC plug does, which is tighter than
regular plugs.

So, plugging a heavy gauge cord into one wouldn't be any worse than
said cord mating with the PDU itself?  (I was concerned that there
would be a levering action as the cord would now be a few inches off
the PDU -- which is mounted vertically)
With the pigtails, the connection to the PDU is just like any other
*cord*.
