Patent ID: 10830974

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides advantageous cable assemblies (e.g., hybridized cable assemblies), and improved methods/systems for using the same. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved systems/methods for the design and use of hybridized cable assemblies configured to facilitate the transfer of data and power. The present disclosure provides an advantageous hybridized cable assembly that is configured and adapted to transfer data and power across some length of a hybrid cable. An advantageous hybridized cable assembly can be configured to function with available hardware. Certain embodiments can utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to provide power to the hybridized cable assembly and subsequently to the end device. An exemplary hybridized cable assembly can transfer a combined transmission across some length of the hybridized cable assembly. The hybridized cable assembly can perform alterations to the incoming transmissions prior to outputting the combined transmission to a desired device.
