C19's are usually used for data center pdu connectivity, with 20A connections or larger. Quite literally we needed some for bigger cat4k cisco switches last week with a last minute customer change, and couldn't find one outside of going to anixter and paying ~$40/cable + overnight ship. If you can find a c20 cable, you can cut off the end if not 5-15p and replace with one from home depot, but either way it's gonna be a pain as these aren't common outside of infrastructure hardware.

I'd second the recommendation to replace the psu with a "normal" c13-style connector, if it fits and isn't an oddball unit.
