Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for vehicular power distribution utilizing power over Ethernet are provided. In this regard, power may be distributed via one or more Ethernet links to one or more devices of a vehicular electronics network, where the Ethernet links may also communicate multimedia and/or control information to and/or from the devices. Power may be distributed to devices of the vehicular electronics network in accordance with power over Ethernet standards. At least one component in the vehicular electronics network may operate as power supplying equipment (PSE). At least one component in the vehicular electronics network may operate as a powered device (PD). At least one component in the vehicular electronics network may operate as a powered device. An amount of power distributed to one or more of the devices may be determined based on a power classification of the one or more devices.
