Abstract
A door hinge apparatus for provisioning power and data connectivity to electronic devices in a door and outdoors. The door hinge apparatus includes a wire harness in the form of an electrical ribbon. The wire harness includes multiple power lines and data lines, including 24V and 120 V power lines, and data lines. The apparatus includes a door hinge in which a base plate of the hinge includes one or more channels for accommodating the wire harness permitting it to pass through from the interior to the exterior of a building. Interior and exterior connectors provide one-click connectivity to power sources, network sources, and electronic devices. The apparatus may also include a barrel for coupling with the hinge, wherein the barrel allows the passing of the wire harness from a connector to a terminal box in a door.
