Title: Main power connection to back of cabinet?
Post by: Frank Drebin on November 11, 2014, 02:29:34 am

Looking at building my second cabinet, a very small single player bartop.  Just wondering if anyone had some unique, clean ideas for the 110V power connections at the back?  Is there some sort of a wall plate/pass through to be able to use a computer cable like this?

Thanks!

That is some fancy wiring on that power inlet. ;D

Correction, it's standard fare wiring in a very fancy overall cabinet.
