Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a power supply operable to output power to a load along with at least one other power supply, a sensing component for identifying a load level, and a control component for switching the power supply from a full power mode to a power saving mode based on the identified load level. The power supply shares current with the other power supply at a lower current and generally the same voltage as the other power supply while in the power saving mode.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting data on two wire pairs carrying pulse power, wherein the pulse power comprises a plurality of voltage pulses with the voltage pulses on the wire pairs offset between the wire pairs to provide continuous power and identifying transitions between at least one of a pulse-on time and a pulse-off time, and a pulse-off time and a pulse-on time on at least one of the wire pairs. Data transmission on the wire pair is controlled during the identified transitions on the wire pair to prevent interference between the pulse power and the data.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for detecting a fault across a pair of lines. Pulse power is applied across the pair of lines. The pulse power comprises alternating pulse on-time intervals and pulse off-time intervals. During a pulse off-time interval, a resistor is connected across the pair of lines and then disconnected when a voltage across the pair of lines reaches a first droop percentage in a first period of time. After disconnecting the resistor, it is determined whether the voltage across the pair of lines droops at least a second droop percentage within a second period of time that begins after the first period of time. Occurrence of a line-to-line fault across the pair of lines is determined when the voltage across the pair of lines droops by at least the second droop percentage or more within the second period of time.
