As my 4xWide case got full I wanted to revive my old starter system and bought a simple POWER module, because I don't need MIDI here. Then I recognized that the POWER module does not have a second power output for the second row of the case. (There is a eurorack connector, but this does not work.) Originally there may have been a special element, like in the right part of the image, but this may be lost (probably like tears in rain) for my old case. The question: Does anyone have a nice cheap trick idea of how to add the second row cable to the first row (left image)? A 10-Pin-Male-to-10-Pin-Male-Thingy? Something ready-made, from which I just need the name to find it? ;-) Thanks for an advice or link or whatever works!

I have made a small board with two pin connectors; you could use this - one side goes into one socket of the first bus cable and the other side to the second bus cable. Best you pm me if this sounds ok, then I can send one.

The greatest Modulaer maeker in the virgo cluster (Robert) almost instantly sent me two "bus couplers" to solve my problem (I just had not the time to use them until now). Recap: I wanted to revive an old case and somehow there was no way to attach the second (here: upper) row of power cables to the POWER module. Robert helped me by sending me a pair of different "bus couplers". It took my a while to understand how this has to be connected , and it goes like this: And yes, experienced AEhumans may anticipate that this solution will be very tight. The easiest way would surely be to put a 2U blank module over this cable salad. This is okay if your case has empty slots and you have no preference on where to put the power module. In my case I wanted the POWER module to be exactly where it is and I did not want to give away this slot. So with a little squeezing and squishing I was able to use a 2U-Module (there is room in the left side of the back), in my case I used the BREADBOARD: Yes, this hack is very tight inside, and it took some fumbling - but i works! A very big THANKS to Robert Langer for his very personal help!!! Maybe he will make a product out of this? On the other hand I may have ben the only one who ever got this problem …
