  • Patent number: 10355493
    Abstract: A system provides power and data to solid-state lights or other stage effects devices. A power hub receives the data as an input signal and includes output ports each with data conductors and power conductor pairs. The hub includes a buffer circuit, a power distribution circuit, and sensor circuits. The buffer circuit distributes data to the output ports. The power distribution circuit receives an input voltage and distributes a calibrated output voltage and maximum current to each output port. The sensor circuits are connected to a respective output port and detect connection of devices and a maximum required power at each output port. The power distribution circuit individually increases voltage to each output port at a calibrated ramp rate based on the maximum required power. The interface circuit connects the data conductors and the power conductor pairs to the devices and passes the voltage/power and data thereto.
