Sorry that my asking is not very clear.

The power strip, let's say, has 8 plugs and you have 16 devices. How can you
power on all of the devices with that power strip ? The Y cord is the power
cable that uses only one plug but the other end allows you to plug to two
devices. So in this case, you can power on all those 16 devices with eight Y
cord.

And I wonder if there is such that cable but allows my to plug to 3 or more
devices, just to make the rack to have less cables.
