ABSTRACT:
An integrated connecting device for coupling a communication link to a powered device (PD) in a system for supplying power to the PD over the communication link. The integrated connecting device has a housing configured for providing connection to the PD external with respect to the housing, communication interface circuitry coupled to the communication link for supporting data communication of the PD over the communication link, and power interface circuitry coupled to the communication interface circuitry for implementing a power supply protocol performed to supply power to the PD over the communication link. The communication interface circuitry and the power interface circuitry being held by the housing.
