POWER DISTRIBUTION OVER ETHERNET CONNECTION
In an embodiment, a power delivery system includes a first current limiter and a second current limiter in parallel with each other, wherein a direct current (DC) voltage is provided to each of the first current limiter and the second current limiter; a first transformer electrically coupled to the first current limiter; a second transformer electrically coupled to the second current limiter; first differential signal traces electrically coupled to the first transformer; and second differential signal traces electrically coupled to the second transformer, wherein the DC voltage is transmitted from the first transformer to the first differential signal traces simultaneous with the DC voltage being transmitted to the second differential signal traces by the second transformer. The power delivery system includes a third transformer electrically coupled to third differential signal traces. The third differential signal traces comprise a return current path corresponding to the DC voltage.
