Had my stadium a few weeks now and only just noticed the usb-A port on the rear, can this be used to power the G10 wireless receiver?

 

Sorry for the late reply.  Internet circuit at my home and surrounding 4 mile radius was down for about 40 hours since Sunday.

 

The USB-A does send power.  It is the way the USB-Network adapter will need to be powered to work for the computer wired connection.  Good experimental test.  I am not sure of the power signal but it should be hot enough to power simple devices based up the rating in the UPDATE portion I have added as well as provide a charge your USB v2.0 or v3.0 power charging capable phone or tablet if needed in a pinch.  I guess we could call this an "undocumented feature".

 

It would be good to create a ticket just to make sure it doesn't have an adverse affect on the Stadium hardware.  While I doubt it, it would be good to get Line 6's blessing as well as what the power rating is; v2.0 or v3.0.  I am going out in a limb due to the latest USB-A to ethernet adapters are v3.0

 

[UPDATE]

 

USB-A power specs start at a basic 5V at 0.5A (2.5W) for USB 2.0, but increase with newer standards to 5V at 0.9A (4.5W) for USB 3.0
Here's a breakdown by USB version and charging spec:
USB 1.x/2.0 (Standard Port): 5V @ 0.5A (2.5W).
USB 3.x (Standard Port): 5V @ 0.9A (4.5W).
