Powered data networks?
The BBC reported a couple of days back about the possibility of the RJ-45 outlet being not just to feed data to your electronic device but also the power. If this does indeed work out, the days of carrying multiple adapters etc may be coming to and end, a real boon for those of us who travel between continents frequently.
Amir Lehr, vice president of business development and strategic planning at Israeli company PowerDsine, said the idea of supplying power via data cables had been perfected over the last four years. It is an extension of basic networking technology that converts data into voltages and then sends them down a wire.
