As strange as it seems, these sort of terminal blocks are not too
common. I have seen a number of different pieces of equipment from
different manufactures/integrators that have a lot of very small loops
to bridge the power supply blocks together. Very few pieces of
equipment have the bridged terminal blocks. They exist, but are very
difficult to find.

Good luck in your search.
