Simple wiring plan showing : Velbus lighting control with separate 15V power supply for cabinet devices and glass panels, with a "sandbox" relay, should the external cabling get damaged and compromise the external power supply, all external connections will drop. Ensuring the cabinet devices can still communicate. "Pyro" / "Mineral" or other fire resistance cable can be used externally of the cabinet. The drawing also shows how a "Grid Plate" switch array can be wired to Velbus
