Like PoE for networks is a co-power plug standard it seems, not a USB standard
change:

So you have a funky dual plug cable & a IO board with the dual socket which provides
12V or 24V independent of the USB 5V.

USB3 is going to allow up to 900mA instead of USB2s 500mA, but I didn't
think the voltage was being upped like that. In fact, according to
Wikipedia, the minimum voltage is actually going down to 4v
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb#USB_3.0
got a link to where it says 12 or 24V?

Subject: [H] USB w/ 12V/24V power?
Was casually looking into a single, multi-amp, 5V/12V power supply to
eliminate all
my wall-warts when I stumbled upon this, wondering if anyone had some
insight into it?
There's a newer USB plug/cable standard that supplies 12V or 24V along with
data so
you don't need power bricks for each external device?
Reminds me of PoE for networking devices. Interesting idea, not exactly what
I was
looking for.
