Claim:
1. A smart output protector device comprising: a data positive input; a data positive output; a data negative input; a data negative output; a first resistor blocking direct short circuits; a first normally closed relay separating the smart output protector device when opened; a power positive input; a power positive output; a power negative input; a power negative output; and at least one power resettable fuse interconnected between said power positive input and said power positive output; at least one resettable data fuse interconnected between said first relay and said data positive output, said at least one resettable data fuse opening the connection between said first relay and said data positive output upon a short circuit; whereby, when said smart output protector device is interconnected between a power loop and a powered component, and said powered component is short circuited, said smart output protector device separates said short circuited powered component from said power loop, wherein said at least one power resettable fuse and said at least one data resettable fuse participate in protection of the device.
