Abstract
A device may include a DC power input port configured to receive a primary DC power input from a DC power source. The device may include a primary DC power output port configured to supply a first DC power output to networking equipment. The device may include one or more battery connection ports configured to supply a second DC power output to a battery backup unit (BBU) when the DC power input port is active and receive a secondary DC power input from the BBU when the DC power input port is inactive. The device may include operating circuits configured to transform the secondary DC power input into the first DC power output when the DC power input port is inactive and transform the primary DC power input into the first DC power output and the second DC power output when the DC power input port is active.
