Abstract: A power system includes a power sourcing device, a first splice enclosure including a first power input port, a first power output port, and a first power tap port that is connected to a first remote powered device, and a second splice enclosure including a second power input port, a second power output port, and a second power tap port that is connect to a second remote powered device. The power system includes a composite power-data cable configured to carry power signals transmitted from the power sourcing device to the first splice enclosure and to the second splice enclosure. The power sourcing device is configured to disable the power signals to at least one of the first power input port, the first power output port, or the first power tap port of the first splice enclosure without disabling the power signals at the second splice enclosure.

Abstract: A power cable or a hybrid power-data cable includes power conductors and a plurality of continuity wires positioned radially outside of the power conductors. The continuity wires are positioned relative to the power conductors such that a cut in the cable will sever one of the plurality of continuity wires before a cut into the power conductors can occur.

Abstract: A power and data connectivity micro grid includes a first power sourcing equipment device having first and second power ports and first and second data ports, and configured to deliver DC power signals to the first and second power ports. The micro grid further includes first and second remote distribution nodes, and first and second splice enclosures, each splice enclosure having a power input port, a data input port, a power tap port, a data tap port, a power output port and a data output port. A first composite power-data cable is coupled between the first power port and the first data port of the first power sourcing equipment device and the power input port and the data input port of the first splice enclosure. A second composite power-data cable is coupled between the second power port and the second data port of the first power sourcing equipment device and the power input port and the data input port of the second splice enclosure. The power tap port and the data tap port of the first splice enclosure are coupled to a power input port and a data input port of the first remote distribution node, respectively.
