On my first synth I built, I used a couple of 3 pin Cinch Jones S-303 
connectors for powering a keyboard controller and a satellite cabinet. 
There are better options available today :)

My preference nowadays is to use one small PSU per cabinet.

I do have panels on some of my synth cabinets that have a set of binding 
posts for making the power supply available externally.     I mainly use 
those for powering breadboarded circuits to test with the synth.
