Hi,
When you’re an organizor at an exhibition, you need to make sure that every stand has a basic electrical connection.
If I wanted to say that the electricians need to connect some cables to install the electrical connection, could I use the word ‘wire up’?
“The electricians need to wire up the plugs or cables?” “The electricians need to wire the cables to a power source.”
I’m not sure how to say it.
Thank you.
You could use 'wire up', but the first sentence says it all : 'Every stand needs an electrical connection/a power point'. Electricians don't need to be told that they must be wired up.

The phrase "wire up" is unusual and is typically heard only in the context of explosives.
