In hospitals and clinics, production floor areas, and standard brick-and-mortar offices, the spatial relationship of heavy machinery, diagnostic equipment, and peripheral devices and their AC power outlets can become a tricky geometric problem to solve—equipment placed tightly against walls where odd angles and tight corners loom. Even when designing and building your own facility, local building codes and other present mechanical infrastructure can pose challenges when it comes to positioning AC equipment in optimal areas.

Limited space between electrical or electronic equipment and the power connection can make the direction of the cord critical. An angled plug can minimize the space between the two. Different angles of plugs allow choices as to how a cord can be plugged into a power source.
