Fix your power blocks to the side of the cabinet and run each units
power cable from the back of the shelf to the block,
its about the only solution that works well.

My four stereo components (tuner, cassette deck, record player, cd
player)
were contained in a two-door under-counter cabinet (similar to a
kitchen
cabinet). For improved access I installed four full-extension
sliding trays
so that the components could be rolled out for use (record player)
or access
to their connections. The trayinstallation went fine.

However the wiring has been a problem. I wanted to have two-outlet
power
strips on each drawer as well as the component wiring. The tuner is
the most
complicated because wiring for power, antenna, 2 speakers, and three
component must all move in and out with the tray. Same for the other
trays
(but fewer wires).

I mistakenly ordered trays that went clear to the back of the
cabinets,
leaving no room for wiring behind the trays. So I currently have the
wiring
running in the space between the tray and the shelf it's mounted to
(about
3/4 inch). It comes up through holes in the tray to the components.
In
addition I could not find any surface-mount short power strips
(other than
surge protectors which have very stiff cords not flexible enough to
move
easily with the tray movement).

Has anyone else attempted this type of installation? And if so, how
have you
solved these problems. Still looking for surface mount outlets. I
know they
used to exist. Thanks in advance.
