Catalyst 3560-X Proprietary AC Power Cable

I just recieved a new 3560-x switch with the C3KX-PWR-715WAC. It looks like Cisco is now using a different AC power cable. Not the StackPower connector, but the standard AC power cable. My data center is setup to supply 208v using C13 power cables. The switch uses a C15 power cable, and comes with a standard NEMA 5 to C13 power cable. Does Cisco make, or officially support a C13 to C15 power cable? Can I still use a 208v power supply with these switches?

I'm using an APC AP8861 power distribution unit, see http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP8861

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320#C15.2FC16_coupler and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector#NEMA_5

The input range for the 3750x is from 110 to 240VAC.  So you can use 208 power with the right connector.  If your power is 208 only you can use it but need to have a converter to convert from lets say C19-20 to C13.

See table-14 in this link:
