@SanTai I'm nearly blind and posting from Canada. I have several questions:Hi!
I found this cable which looks dangerous. Is there any setup where it might be legal and kosher to us? Such as both 32A plugs go into one PDU each.
@SanTai I wondered if it was possibly one three phase male being broke out to two single phase females but we'd still require fusing or circuit breakers on my side of the ocean.It is 3 phase CEE connectors. 1x63A feeding 2x32A. As far as I know it should be illegal hear and most likely in most parts of the world. However I imagined that there might be a strange exception while feeding 2 PDUs with 32 A breakers or something. But my assumption is that it is illegal and dangerous unless anyone can prove a safe and legal use for it.

Is it impossible that the *wire* in both sides of the tail is actually rated for 63A? That would meet code, no?
@AidyJ This reads like equine excrement to me. @Jay Ashworth @dvsDave @TimMc @TimmyP1955 @egilson1 and @derekleffew plus @ruinexplorer Care to comment???That's a fairly common sight in the UK, strain relief on the connector may not be good, but if it is this 100% safe when used alongside competent technicians.

The correct approach here would be a box with 63A in and a 32A breaker for each outlet. These are available as a stock commercial product. Jurisdictional or risk assessment requirements may also dictate the use of RCDs at some stage along the chain...
