Hello,
Just wondering what the ribbon cable wires are rated at? Are they capable of delivering the full 6V 2A that the Model B+ fuse is rated at for the power input?

Are you talking about powering the B+ through the GPIO port? I think that bypasses all the power protection circuitry.

I was under the impression that there was. You're right, it looks like there is no fuse off the 5V pin.adafruit_support_rick wrote:Are you talking about powering the B+ through the GPIO port? I think that bypasses all the power protection circuitry.
