I think DigiKey. But you do NOT want to do this, I think! I strongly suspect that you will find that the voltage at the end of your "power bus" will be sufficiently less than the power you are feeding into it... you would be better off getting a bunch of old power supply leads, connecting them all to a 4 pole barrier strip, and feeding them that way. I am sure someone will tell me I am wrong ;-) ... JG
