Abstract
A method and apparatus for repurposing a communications zone enclosure including providing an input power source within a telecommunications room, providing circuitry configured to split the power of the input source into a plurality of channels, using preexisting twisted pair communication cables to transmit power from the plurality of channels to the zone enclosure, and recombining power the power into a single output power source.
Claims12
A method for repurposing a communications zone enclosure, comprising:
- providing an input power source within a telecommunications room;
- providing circuitry configured to split the power of the input source into a plurality of channels;
- using pre-existing twisted pair communication cables to transmit power from the plurality of channels to the zone enclosure;
- and
- recombining power the power into a single output power source.
2 more elements
A power source system, comprising:
- a first main body frame having a front face;
- a rear side;
- a left side;
- and a right side;
- a plurality of slots within the first main body frame, where one or more pluggable multi-port power transmitters can be inserted;
- at least one internal power supply within the first main body frame connected to the AC grid that has DC outputs;
- internal circuits within the first main body frame, including a processing unit to control the magnitude of supplied DC voltage and current, wherein the internal circuits of the main body frame apparatus connect to the slots;
- pluggable multi-port power transmitter units having a front face;
- a rear side;
- a left side;
- and a right side;
- a plurality of RJ45 adapters, where connectorized twisted pair cables can be connected within the pluggable multi-port power transmitter;
- internal electrical sensors and controllers within the pluggable multi-port power transmitters that communicate with the processor of the main body frame;
- circuits within the pluggable multi-port power transmitter to split the transmitted DC power among the connected cables;
- and
- a remote multi-port power receiver wherein the multi-port power transmitter units transmit power to a remote multi-port power receiver using twisted pair communication cables, wherein the pluggable multi-port power receiver has a front face;
- a rear side;
- a left side;
- and a right side, wherein one face has a plurality of RJ45 adapters where connectorized twisted pair cables can be connected, and further, wherein the pluggable multi-port power receiver unit combines the power from multiple cables.
