If you've got racks ... just buy one or two of the new rackmount injectors when they start shipping.
The daisy chain thing for power, I've looked at a few times. There are issues with doing this that would take way too long to explain. The biggest issue is how quickly you run over the current limits of the jacks. There's other issues related to fusing and similar. With the new 4 port injector there's no more room for additional jacks unless I did it with a sub-board, then you have to figure out how to move 12A to the second board. And so on...Let's just say I keep looking at this, and haven't found a good solution.
