Hi Matthew,

I am planning to do the same. I am going to add a female four pin XLR
chassis connector to the case that has the power supply.
Wire the connectors from the power supply to that. And add a four pin male
XLR chassis connector to the receiving case.
Add a bus board in the receiving case and wire that to the male chassis XLR
connector. Finally connect the two cases with a 4 pin xlr male to female
connector.

I choose 4 pin xlr because those are rarely used in the circuit of live
playing and music studios (1.actually mainly used in theaters for
controller voltages in lighting rigs for shutter and scrollers and 2. in
radio studios for the fader control system).
Second of all if you wire it like this there is no voltage you can touch or
short circuit in the everyday use of this system (given that you of course
have wired everything correctly on the inside!).

greetings,

Ernst
