More Information
Summary:A powering patch panel system includes a patch panel device coupled to a power source, and including a first port that is coupled to a networking device via a first cable and a second port that is coupled to the powered device via a second cable. The patch panel device receives data that is directed to the powered device from the networking device through the first port and via the first cable, and receives power from the power source. The patch panel device then transmits both the data and a subset of the power through the second port and via the second cable to the powered device. The first port may be provided by optical-fiber-based port and the first cable may be provided by an optical-fiber-based cable, while the second port may be provided by a hybrid conductive-material/optical-fiber-based port and the second cable may be provided by a hybrid conductive-material/optical-fiber-based cable.
