ABSTRACT:
A system for distributing signals between a first seat and a second seat of a platform. The system generally includes an elongated bus and a connector operable to provide a connection between the bus and the passenger seats. Signals can be transmitted between the bus and the passenger seats, via the connector, at any point along the power bus, thus eliminating the need to run separate connections between the signal source and each seat. The bus is connected to the connector by depressing the bus upon the connector. This system and method significantly reduces the amount of time, energy, and expense necessary to individually wire each passenger seat to receive signals, such as power and/or data.
