There are ocean-going systems that only use one wire. Plus the ocean, of course.


The new PoE ethernet-cable-powered network


> devices are going to be pretty convenient.

PoE = Two pairs, minimum, right? = 4 conductors. USB = 4 conductors IEE1394 = 6 conductors (if power provided) POTS = 2 conductors minimum


1-wire = 2 conductors minimum, 3 used at times

AFAIK, POE uses the other two pairs in an ethernet cable for power to the remote device (usually a wireless transciever).

There are two types. One uses spare pairs, the other superimposes a DC bias on the TX/RX pairs.

Kind of bulky if you don't need it otherwise.

I wonder how waves propagate in this transmission line and what ground current looks like.

Thanks, Fred.
