No comments on cables. Ghosthouse; you have me smiling brother!!!
Novel idea here. If the cable is short(either too thick, radius issue or 180 problem), you can rotate the wall outlet 180 degrees with no ill effects so it will work, vice having to buy a 1.5 meter Pangea...I know of no inherent engineering issues with the outlet itself being flipped so long as your positive/negative wires in wall stay the same to outlet connectors.
