A power supply system operable to supply power and/or data to aircraft
passenger seats that eliminates the need to extend individual cables to
each seat and eliminates the need to rewire the passenger cabin when the
seats are moved. The system includes a first connector housing secured to
a first seat leg and a second connector housing secured to at least one
of the first seat leg and the second leg. A first connector of a seat
electronic subsystem is mounted to the first housing. A second connector
of the seat electronic subsystem is mounted to the second housing. A
conductor is operable to mate with at least one of the first connector
and the second connector for conducting at least one of data and
electricity to or from the seat.
