Abstract
A PoE power aggregation system includes a PoE power aggregation device coupling a powering device to a powered device. The PoE power aggregation device includes first and second powering device connectors coupled to first and second powering device ports on the powering device, respectively, and a powered device connector coupled to a powered device port on the powered device. The PoE power aggregation device receives data from the powering device via the first powering device connector, and transmits the data to the powered device through the powered device connector. The PoE power aggregation device also receives first and second power from the powering device via the first powering device connector and the second powering device connector, respectively, and transmits the first and second power to the powered device through the powered device connector along with the data.
