Subject: [MRCA] OT: round AC power entry module?

 

Hello folks, I am building a project where I would like to use a 3 prong
computer-style power cord. The project is built on a 2U rack panel. The
typical power entry module is rectangular, and I cannot make a good square
hole with the tools I have (or lack of tools).  Does anyone know of a model
where the entry is round to allow me to use a step drill bit or otherwise? I
guess I could use a circular military connector, but that really is overkill
hihi.  Even power pole saw the benefit of making a round module which can be
seen here:

I am hoping to find something similar for an AC entry, the kind that
normally looks like this, but where I can drill a round hole:

any suggestions appreciated!
