Patent Number:	12117163
Title:	Lighting Equipment
Abstract:	A cable assembly suitable for distributing both power and low voltage control signals to a plurality of discrete devices is disclosed. Power and control signal input plugs are attached by cable to a housing. A first set of power and control signal output connectors is attached by flexible cable to the same housing. A second set of power and control signal output connectors is attached to the housing. Corresponding contacts of all three power connectors and of all three control signal connectors having the same function are made electrically common, such that power and control signals applied to the plugs are available at both output connectors. The structure reduces the number of components and connections required to share power and data relative to prior art methods.
