Abstract
Embodiments provide for automatic disconnection of a peripheral device when a power consumption level of the peripheral device drops below a power consumption cutoff threshold, signifying that the peripheral device is no longer active. In embodiments, an example automatic peripheral device disconnect apparatus includes a first input/output connection, a second input/output connection, first circuitry configured to detect power consumption by a peripheral device connected to the first input/output connection, and second circuitry configured to disable power provided from a computing device connected to the second input/output connection to the peripheral device connected to the first input/output power when a detected power consumption by the peripheral device meets or drops below a cutoff threshold associated with the peripheral device.
