I'm asuming there is an American equivalent to these:

I have about 40 of these and they make powering lights very easy.
@Lyle Williams How many would you stack plugged into each other? I'm not so much questioning the total load, especially in your higher voltage country, moreso the mechanical integrity / stability and electrical reliability?I'm asuming there is an American equivalent to these:

@JohnD When it gets here, will it have a three pole power switch with at least three neon lights inside the actuator? What I really loved about the image that last time it was posted was the reverse sex Cams on the neutral and ground AND the pass-through cams for daisy-chaining additional three phase power strips. It was all just too funny.Standby-----Repost----Image----plug strip w/camlocks----3-2-1.........

There is an additional difference - maximum voltage - and it's related to the physical construction of the cable: conductor insulation material, conductor insulation thickness, filler material, and outer jacket thickness. My understanding (which could be wrong) is that the "J" in the designation stands for "Junior" as in junior extra hard service which became "hard service". My copies of the NEC only go back 12 years and I cant' spot when the change was made (TL;DR).
Oh, the max voltage rating? 600v for S, SO, etc and 300v for anything with a "J" in the designation.
There is, but while yours have 2m, ours have 0.5m (more like 0.25m) at best.I'm assuming there is an American equivalent to these:

If you're connecting to cord socket, then you can lay them on the ground and stack a few together without mechanical issues, likewise in the back of a rack you can get a stack going and tie it off to either the bottom or side to provide mechanical protection and strain relief. I've seen stacks up to 15 or so in this arrangement, with a total power draw that was probably still only 300 watts across the lot...@Lyle Williams How many would you stack plugged into each other?

The voltage rating difference between S and SJ cable type is somewhat irrelevant for entertainment industry applications in North America. Typically, there are no entertainment industry branch circuits above 208V that are serviced by portable cable. The S vs. SJ discussion still centers on resistance to physical abuse.
ST
It's relevant because we were discussing the differences between types, and part of higher allowed voltage is directly related to the physical robustness of the cable. Full circle, so to speak.
My mistake was in stating Never (smacks self on head).
ST I think used a qualifier, smart guy that he is
You are correct that for the Foo Fighter application they obviously needed to pay attention to the voltage rating. They are also using other then single conductor cable so used cable appropriate to the application (we assume),
For the OP who was asking about 120v distribution, the important factor isn’t voltage but durability of the jacket.
