The Crimson and earlier Power Series Deskside systems use a 20A twist lock
connector. The power cable for the systems uses a NEMA L5-20P plug and
NEMA L5-20R receptacle.

The Hubbell part numbers for these parts are:
  insulgrip plug: HBL2311
  insulgrip receptacle: HBL2313
  single flush receptacle (outlet): HBL2310
