<p>A power device (204) supplies power to a node (216) using a power-transmitting network connection (218), such as, for example, a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection, the node (216) supplying at least a portion of the power received over the power-transmitting network connection (218) to one or more downstream devices (220,222) using additional power-transmitting network connections (224,226). The one or more downstream devices (224,226) may be connected to the remove device (216) in a hub-and-spoke configuration. In other arrangements, the one or more downstream devices (314,320) are connected to the remote device (304) in a linear configuration or in some combination of the linear and hub-and-spoke configurations.</p> |
