Abstract
A power connection system includes a power attachment assembly (PAA) to house power cables that transport electrical power, where the cables are terminated by a connector associated with the PAA; and a power supply to provide the power to a network device, where the power supply includes another connector and a group of circuit breakers that correspond to the cables. The PAA and the power supply permit the cables to be connected to the power supply, and permit the connector and the other connector to be connected to form a junction via which the power is transported. The circuit breakers, when turned on, permit the power to be received from the cables via the PAA. The system also includes a handle to disconnect the PAA from the power supply in a manner that turns off the circuit breakers prior to disconnecting the PAA from the power supply.
