Abstract: A connector for an integrated lighting and power system for cabinets includes: a body; a first port having a depth into the body, N number of electrical contacts therein, and an opening at a surface of the body; a second port having a depth into the body, N number of electrical contacts therein, and an opening at a surface of the body; and a third port having a depth into the body, N number of electrical contacts therein, and an opening at a surface of the body. Each port of the first, second, and third ports is oriented facing a different direction relative to the other of the first, second, and third ports.

Abstract: A cabinet system with integrated lighting and power includes a cabinet defining a first illumination zone, a first connector having at least a first port and a second port, and a first light strip. The first light strip has an elongate substrate with a first end, a second end, a plurality of illumination elements spaced apart along the substrate, and multiple traces extending lengthwise along the substrate. The multiple traces include a voltage trace, a first trace connected to the plurality of illumination elements, and a second trace not connected to the plurality of illumination elements. The first end is received in the first port of the first connector. A driver is coupled to a power source and has a lead connected to the second port on the first connector. The illumination elements of the first light strip are selectively controlled by controlling power to the voltage trace and the first trace to illuminate the illumination zone.

Abstract: A modular power system for cabinets includes a power module configured to be installed on a cabinet, a driver configured to be connected to a power source and to be coupled to the power module, and a component or accessory configured to be coupled to the power module and to be powered by the driver. A method includes factory installing one or more power modules of the modular power system on a cabinet system and factory installing one or more components or accessories on the cabinets and connecting the one or more components or accessories to the one or more power modules. A cabinet system includes the modular power system defining multiple different and separately power zones.
