    Eb8 USB port power

    Does anyone know if the USB port on the previous version of the eb8( classic orange label ) is configured like a normal USB port to provide power? I tried to power up a gateway to control my orphek atlantik v4 fixture and I think I ruined my gateway. The gateway has a USB micro b port to USB type A cable along with power adapter. I was cleaning up my cabling and figured why use the bulky power supply and power it directly from the USB port on the eb8. When I plugged it into to eb8 it reset my eb8 and my gateway hasn't worked since.

    No. Normal USB is 5V. The apex aquabus is 12V and this will fry any standard USB device if you try to plug it in.
