There are several sold to be installed in equipment.

First off cigarette lighter style deals are not the best, by a long ways.

Second, I wish the industry would come out with one design that everyone used.

One good unit I have seen has three standard AMP power connectors and two cigarette lighter receptacles. Has a on/off switch for switched power and is fused to 30 amps.

I believe it is called the Power Bar. It is in the Ag Express catalog, also pretty sure I have seen it in other companies websites.

I like the John Deere Power Strip. There is at least one in every cab equipped tractor I have. Only one of them has yellow wheels.
They have six plugins. Power direct from the battery - unswitched.
And switched.

For any plugin deal, I highly recommend not getting the switched power from the tractor’s key switch.
But using a good quality continuous duty solenoid.
Good heavy wire with fuze from the battery to the solenoid.
Hook the switched power wire from the power strip or power bar to the solenoid.
A wire from the key switch to engage the solenoid.
That way a heavy load will not be passing thru the key switch.

For the un-switched power. A good heavy wire with fuze, from the battery to the strip.

All of my precision farming displays are direct wired to the battery.
But everything else has the power strip plugin. Planter monitors, spray controllers, camera systems, etc.

Top photo is a Power Bar. Not sure of the supplier.
Second is a John Deere Power Strip - This photo could be a aftermarket, not sure.
Third is a plugin for the Deere.
