In-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) refer to the onboard internet service that airlines provide to business and commercial aircraft passengers. This service is available through personal electronic devices (PEDs) such as smartphones and laptops for internet browsing, gaming, and streaming movies and serials. IFEC systems appear to function without the use of visible wires. The wiring is hidden within the aircraft walls, with the wire commencing in the top panel near the oxygen masks and air conditioning controls. These wires are then linked to the power units, arranged in a few rows along the aircraft’s sidewall.
