buy a NEMA 5-15P plug (you need the male end)
cut off the standard US plug and wire on the NEMA 5-15P instead...
takes maybe 5 minutes
tools you'll need:
wire strippers
screwdriver
utility knife

there you go, pure genius...

Thanks 🙂 I've got an APC unit with six of those NEMA 5-15C outlets, which is exactly why I'm trying to DIY this. Here’s a link to my APC so you can see what I'm talking about—just click the photo showing the back panel where the outlets are located XD :

Hey there. I’ve run into a bit of a snag and am looking for a specific cable described in the title (a NEMA 5-15P male plug to a NEMA 5-15R female socket—just a standard household outlet). Ideally, I'd love to pick this up from an American online retailer, or if anyone happens to have one lying around, please let me know.

It could be a single NEMA 5-15P to a single NEMA 5-15R, or maybe even a single plug to multiple outlets (kind of like a power strip). Here’s a photo for reference:
