That exactly my question. IOE soon and haven’t tested the theory and hoping someone else has...

Are you sure we purchased the option to power the plug? You know that it works?

That’s awesome. Thanks for that.
I have ioe soon, but mine didn’t work to pull power from the jumpseat plug so was concerned...
