A single cable optical data/power transmission powered device system includes a single cable optical data/power transmission powering device coupled to a single cable optical data/power transmission powered device via an optical data/power transmission cable. The single cable optical data/power transmission powered device is coupled to the optical data/power transmission cable via a single cable optical data/power port that includes optical data conduit(s) and optical power conduit(s) with a greater cross-section area than the optical data conduit(s). A power receiving system in the single cable optical data/power transmission powered device receives first optical power, which was transmitted using the optical data/power transmission cable, via the optical power conduit(s). A powered device subsystem and data communication system in the single cable optical data/power transmission powered device receive first optical data, which was transmitted using the optical data/power transmission cable, via the optical data conduit(s).

A networking device security system includes a chassis housing a networking device. A locking element is movably coupled to the chassis adjacent the networking device, and an actuator device in the chassis is configured to actuate the locking element. A networking device security subsystem in the chassis receives a networking device locking command via a network, verifies the networking device locking command and, in response, controls the actuator device to actuate the locking element into a locked orientation that prevents movement of the networking device relative to the chassis. Subsequently, the networking device security subsystem receives a networking device unlocking command via the network, verifies the networking device unlocking command and, in response, controls the actuator device to actuate the locking element into an unlocked orientation that does not prevent movement of the networking device relative to the chassis.
