The Richard Gray and Panamax are not the only, or even the first, to do a remotely wired circuit back to the rack.

A lot of guys on this forum, including myself, have used an assemblage of common electrical house parts in a "custom" method covered at length on other threads...

Install a box mounted "inlet" receptacle right next to the rack, wired through the walls to your local code (Romex, BX, or in conduit) to the box with the clock hanger outlet at the plasma/projo location...

Then plug the male end of an unmodified, heavy duty extension cord into whatever AC line conditioner/surge unit you are using back in the rack, and the female end into the inlet...

The extension cord makes the clock hanger outlet at the end of the circuit live with surge protected and filtered AC from the rack, thereby eliminating the possibility of ground loops (hum bars) and you're not paying for the snake oil in the RG or panamax packages and all the high voltage lines are correctly terminated where they exit the wall, which should make any inspector happy.
