    Abstract: A Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) powered device comprises a power interface coupled by an Ethernet cable to a PoE port of a power source equipment device, a power monitor coupled to the power interface to obtain at least two voltage measurements and at least two current measurements of a power signal supplied on the Ethernet cable, and a processor coupled to the power monitor to compute a cable resistance value for the Ethernet cable as a function of the at least two voltage and current measurements. Intelligent circuitry in a PoE PD may monitor and compute an actual cable resistance value and enable the PD to more fully utilize the power actually supplied from the PSE.
