Abstract
A combined data/power coupling device includes a chassis having first and second powering device connectors and a powered device connector each coupled to a data/power coupling subsystem. The data/power coupling subsystem configures each of the first and second powering device connectors to receive power from at least one powering device, configures the first powering device connector to receive data from the at least one powering device, and provides data and power received via the first powering device connector to a powered device via the powered device connector. When the data/power coupling subsystem determines that data and power are not available via the first powering device connector, it configures the second powering device connector to receive data from the at least one powering device, and provides data and power received via the second powering device connector to the powered device via the powered device connector.
