1. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:

  • obtain an impedance measurement at each key position of a connection socket;

    detect a plugged cable at a key position based on the obtained impedance measurement;

    in response to the detected plugged cable at the key position, determine an assigned power level associated to the key position;

    deliver a power through the plugged cable according to the determined assigned power level based on a logic state that represents assigned bits of data to signal a level of power to be delivered to the key position.
