Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes grouping a plurality of ports at power sourcing equipment in a Power over Ethernet (PoE) system, the ports receiving power from at least one power supply, and transmitting power from the group of ports at the power sourcing equipment to a plurality of ports at a power interface module. The power transmitted at each of the ports is at least 100 watts and the power interface module is operable to combine the power received at the ports and provide an AC outlet. An apparatus and system are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method generally comprises monitoring real-time electrical data at Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) transmitting power over a cable to a Powered Device (PD), calculating thermal characteristics for the cable based on the monitored data, and periodically updating the thermal characteristics based on the monitored data. The power comprises multi-phase pulse power, the data comprises voltage and current measured for each phase of the multi-phase pulse power, and the voltage is greater than 60 volts at the PSE.
