Power distribution over ethernet connection

An apparatus for power delivery over an Ethernet connection, the apparatus comprising:

• a first current limiter and a second current limiter in parallel with each other and a first inductor and a second inductor, wherein:
• a DC voltage is provided to the first current limiter and the second current limiter;
• the first inductor is electrically coupled between an output of the first current limiter and a first wire of a plurality of twisted pair wires;
• the second inductor is electrically coupled between an output of the second current limiter and a second wire of the plurality of twisted pair wires;
• a third inductor is electrically coupled to a third wire of the plurality of twisted pair wires;
• a fourth inductor is electrically coupled to a fourth wire of the plurality of twisted pair wires;
• and
• the DC voltage is transmitted via a first current path comprising the first wire of the plurality of twisted pair wires and the third wire of the plurality of twisted pair wires simultaneous with the DC voltage being transmitted via a second current path comprising the second wire of the plurality of twisted pair wires and the fourth wire of the plurality of twisted pair wires, the first current path being different from the second current path.
