The power is just bussed on the distro board, so you can connect the source
and destination anywhere. Ideally, just in case of small loss on the board,
you would put the source towards the middle.

Some panels require additional power connections. I believe the concern
from Rex is more about the integrity of the power and ground signals than
the current capability of the wires.

My PS4 has just one XLR cable from the box, so yours must be a PS6 or
larger.
