Abstract: There is disclosed a power supply, a system, and method. A power supply may include a power converter for converting AC primary power into DC power, an internal load, and a DC power plug for delivering DC power from the power supply to a load external to the power supply. The power converter may include a standby circuit to place the power converter into a low power quiescent operating mode. A switch may be integrated into the DC power plug, the switch having an operate state and a standby state. The switch may control the flow of power from the power converter to the internal load.

Abstract: There is disclosed a power supply and method. The power supply may include a power converter for converting AC primary power into DC power, the power converter having a normal operating mode and a low power quiescent operating mode. A DC power plug may be adapted to deliver DC power from the power converter to a load. The normal operating mode and the low power quiescent operating mode of the power converter may be selected by a switch integrated into the DC power plug.
