You’re both absolutely right - a unique or custom connector might sound smart in theory, but it would probably just cause issues in real-world use, especially if something fails on-site or needs replacing quickly. Definitely not worth the risk.
I think I’ll just stick with my standard 3-way power strips for now. They may not be fancy, but they’re reliable, easy to replace, and flexible enough for my setup.
Thanks a lot for all the input! Maybe the whole thing is already just optimized enough
