So does it go Like a daisy chain?

Power Brick to Z controller to track?

Well, there are many ways to wire it and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but here's how I'd do it.  What I'm trying to show is the idea of keeping each inter-connection segment with a pair (red & black) of power wires together until "the last moment" when they must be split.  This doesn't use the minimum amount of wire, but I believe is the neatest way especially if using 2-wire lamp cord or "zip cord" for the red/black pair.
