USB Power Switch

Most of the first generation of personal computers had an ‘IEC’-type 240V outlet on the back of the box, which provided power switched by the PC’s own power switch.

This allowed you to control the power to the computer’s monitor, printer and other peripherals simply by plugging in a power distribution board to this outlet and plugging the peripheral power cords into the distribution board outlets.

The power switch on the front or side of the PC then controlled everything, which was very neat and convenient.
