Abstract
A control and monitoring system power supply is described that receives a single power input and distributes power to two distinct segments of a control and monitoring system network. The power supply includes a single power input configured to receive AC from a power source and at least partially convert the AC power to an operable voltage for a network device. Further, the power supply includes dual power output drivers that share power from the single power input and distribute the power to distinct network cable segments. Each of the dual power output drivers is separate and common grounded with respect to the other.
