Not sure about using the term splitter and reverse-splitter, but where 3-wires come together I'm simply suggesting something like a twist-on wire nut.  Here's the diagram updated showing the coax power connectors (5.5mm/2.1mm) which are on the input side of the Z-controller and DCS-RC.  The output side of the Z-controller and DCS-RC have red/black banana jacks to which you can insert bare-wires.

You can buy pig-tail wires with either male or female coax (5.5mm/2.1mm) connectors on them for less than $1 each on eBay.  Or you can use the screw-terminal adapters I showed earlier in the thread.

I now have a complete understanding of this, I think, and have written a step by step set up instructions, which you will see below:
I would appreciate if you could let me know if there is anything amiss.

Thanks for all of the detailed help,
Roge

4. One each of two COAX MALE PLUGS to Z-CONTROLLER, and REMOTE COMMANDER COAX Power In terminals.
5. Power (RED) out from Z-CONTROLLER (RED) Banana Plug to pin 2 of DPDT SWITCH.
6. Power (RED)out from REMOTE COMMANDER (RED) Banana Plug to pin 6 of DPDT SWITCH.
7. Power (RED) from pin 4 of DPDT SWITCH to TRACK CONNECTOR.
8. Common (BLACK) from both the Z-CONTROLLER and REMOTE COMMANDER to be merged together and to TRACK CONNECTOR.
