What do you experienced chaps do in the panel when there are loads of DC supply sensors on the system and it makes the SINGLE TERMINAL DC output too busy, I usually use a 5A terminal block, make off all the DC supply wires into that, then run a bigger single cable, from the terminal block to the DC output of the panel. Anyone got a better suggestion ;)

Thats just what I do too

Some panels never have large enough terminals for what is going to be a very 'busy' connection.

With CCTV conections in power supplies I buy the Splitter/fuseboards that you put you dc in and it splits it into 5 or 10 seperately fuse outputs
 
With my cctv psu, I just took the 12v output and put it on a homemade board inside the case, the board (veroboard, not got round to making a proper pcb yet) just has pcb style terminal blocks on it for the input, and multiple output blocks with a fuse for each one, so I can match the fuses to each individual device (so if one cam or lead cause a fault, they dont all go down, which they would with just the one fuse.)
