Abstract
A Single Cable Optical Data/Power Transmission (SCODPT) port breakout system includes a SCODPT powering device coupled to SCODPT powered devices via respective optical data/power transmission cables ('cables') and a SCODPT port breakout device. A plurality of single cable optical data/power ports on the SCODPT port breakout device are coupled via respective ones of the cables to respective ones of the SCODPT powering device or SCODPT powered devices, with those single cable optical data/power ports each including port optical data conduit(s) having a port optical data conduit cross-sectional area, and optical power conduit(s) having a port optical power conduit cross-section area that is greater than the port optical data conduit cross-sectional area. The SCODPT port breakout device receives optical power from the SCODPT powering device and distributes it to the SCODPT powered devices, and receives optical data and routes it to one or more of the SCODPT powered devices.
