    摘要: The present invention proposes a DC power distribution system comprising power source equipment (PSE) providing high powered power over ethernet connections of 200 W per ethernet cable connected with powered devices (PDs) and power distribution units (PDUs). The PD and PDUs connected to the PSE have second ethernet port for extending the high power PoE connection to at least a second PDU or PD. The system also provides a common mode longitudinal system for communicating across the network of PSE, PD and PDU devices and sensor data and command data sent to and from connected PD. The PD and PDU devices incorporate a supervisor circuit for monitoring the s high power PoE connection and for directing the communications with other connected devices. The PDU devices incorporate DC-to-AC inverters for providing AC power, locally from the high power PoE DC connections, where AC power is required.
