Re: Does anyone know AFCI plug?

I don't think there are AFCI receptacles available.
There is no requirement to have air conditioners protected by AFCI by 8/1/04 unless it is a new receptacle in a bedroom. Then you'll place an AFCI breaker in the panelboard serving that circuit.

440.65 Leakage Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI).
Single-phase cord-and-plug-connected room air conditioners shall be provided with factory-installed LCDI or AFCI protection. The LCDI or AFCI protection shall be an integral part of the attachment plug or be located in the power supply cord within 300 mm (12 in.) of the attachment plug.

This would not be a field installed device. It will be installed on the air conditioner by the manufacturer.
