Abstract
A power cable includes electrical connectors at a first end and a second end of the power cable. The electrical connectors individually or collectively include a built-in reserve power source, such as batteries or supercapacitors, and a control circuit configured to provide power to one or more downstream devices from the reserve power source when power received at one or more of the electrical connectors of the power cable is interrupted. In some embodiments, an electrical connector includes one or more indicators configured to indicate a state of the electrical connector and/or display one or more indications in response to receiving a signal from an external source, such as a management system of a facility.
