Power strips run in parallel that’s one point of failure for the whole rig.
Your setup runs in series. That’s on point of failure per powered device in the rig.
And if it doesn’t run in series, you really need to explain the wiring on the back of your rig, because I cannot make sense of it otherwise.





I think I understand more now, I just fundamentally don’t understand that zig-zag of joins on the back if the point was better wire management.
