Swedish term or phrase: Ihopkopplad
Hello

I'm near the end of a job on electrical installations and safety and the word "connected" (kopplad) has been used a lot.

Now, I have

Ihopkopplad och samverkande elmateriel, vilken uppfyller ett eller flera särskilda syften samt har samordnade egenskaper.

I understand perfectly what they mean (the connection is more "permanent", not just a plug) but I can't find a way to say this succinctly. Paired or inline equipment?

Any help appreciated

Explanation:
What about "interconnected"?

It seems better to me than "paired", which is almost too specific (and possibly inaccurate). Same with "inline".

"Interconnected" would also seem to have essentially the same relation to "connected" in English as "kopplad" and "ihopkopplad" would have in Swedish.

Explanation:
Although I agree with David Y about "interconnected", I think "hard-wired" could be an alternative. But it's up to you!
