1. Power supply equipment, comprising:
- a power supply for producing output power at a connector disposed on a distal end of a cable, a proximal end of the cable originating at the power supply; and
a connector adapter including;
a first plurality of contacts to mate with the connector of the cable connected to the power supply;
a second plurality of contacts to mate with contacts of an electronic device; and
a portion of a feedback circuit to remotely program a parameter of the output power produced by the power supply, wherein the portion of the feedback circuit, the first plurality of contacts and the second plurality of contacts are disposed in a single housing, and at least two contacts in the first plurality of contacts are electrically connected to at least two contacts in the second plurality of contacts without a cable disposed between the first plurality of contacts and the second plurality of contacts.

Abstract
A progammable power supply for providing a regulated DC output power is disclosed. The power supply provides the output power to any one of a plurality of electronic devices adapted for receiving the output power at an operational voltage or an operational current. The power supply receives a programming signal to maintain the output power at the operational voltage or operational current associated with a particular selected electronic device. Accordingly, by varying the programming signal, the power supply can be programmed to provide output power to any one of several electronic devices having differing input power requirements.
