## Power Outlets
Power outlets represent the ports on a PDU that supply power to other devices. Power outlets are downstream-facing towards power ports. A power outlet can be associated with a power port on the same device and a feed leg (i.e. in a case of a three-phase supply). This indicates which power port supplies power to a power outlet.
Power outlets represent the outlets on a power distribution unit (PDU) or other device that supply power to dependent devices. Each power port may be assigned a physical type, and may be associated with a specific feed leg (where three-phase power is used) and/or a specific upstream power port. This association can be used to model the distribution of power within a device.
For example, imagine a PDU with one power port which draws from a three-phase feed and 48 power outlets arranged into three banks of 16 outlets each. Outlets 1-16 would be associated with leg A on the port, and outlets 17-32 and 33-48 would be associated with legs B and C, respectively.
Cables can connect power outlets only to downstream power ports. (Pass-through ports cannot be used to model power distribution.)
