I agree. There are dongles for parallel port and USB for software 
protection, and are still common on high end applications such as PCB 
design packages. Here is a reference to a "dongle" as the connectors on a 
computer power supply:

And similar references:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/131602-33-another-6800-power-supply-related-question

And this is the only actual Power Supply Dongle I found:

"Always Wrong" proves it once again. And the little guy is crude and lewd 
to make up for his "short-cummings".
