Cable management - help me with ideas - Please!!

I just had a bad night.
A 12 power cable snagged on something while the telescope was slewing, in turn it pulled very hard on my 4 way splitter which split!
12V + short circuit + too many amps then the splitter cable got super hot melted, I burnt my hand pulling the cables out.
Mount, camera, guider, focuser and powered USB are all OK, but I lost most of my power and USB cables - so now its time for a rethink.

I have 4 devices that require power:
HEQ5 mount, Cooled camera, focuser and powered USB

What do you all use? Any suggestions for an elegant and fairly foolproof setup?
Pictures especially welcome!!
