How did you mount it?

Why not just cut the plug off of the end of the power strip and wire it on to the cabinet mounted receptacle? Eliminate the middle man.

Because then you end up destroying a power strip instead of a $0.97 extension cable. No big deal, as power strips are generally pretty bulletproof, but if something did ever go wrong with the power strip, you're screwed if you need to replace it.
