Abstract
A single cable optical data/power transmission Ethernet cable adapter system includes a powering device coupled to a single cable optical data/power transmission powered device ('powered device') using an Ethernet cable and a single cable optical data/power transmission Ethernet cable adapter device (“adapter device”). The adapter device includes an Ethernet port coupled to the Ethernet cable, and a single cable optical data/power connector connected to the powered device and including optical data conduit(s) and optical power conduit(s) with a greater cross-section area than the optical data conduit(s). A data communication system receives electrical data from the powering device via the Ethernet port and uses it to transmit optical data via the optical data conduit(s) to the powered device, and a power transmission system receives electrical power from the powering device via the Ethernet port and uses it to transmit optical power via optical power conduit(s) to the powered device.
