Abstract

A novel system and methodology for supplying power over a communication cable, such as an Ethernet cable, using power distribution circuitry for controlling power distribution between wires or pairs of wires in the communication cable. The power distribution circuitry may control distribution of current among wires or pairs of wires in the communication cable. In particular, balance of current among the wires or pairs of wires may be provided.
