Data and power transmitting cable system
First Claim
1. A data and power transmitting cable system, working in conjunction with a main device port system, which has at least two ports including a first port and a second port, each of said at least two ports having pins for transmitting power and data, and a peripheral device port system, said data and power transmitting cable system comprising:
- a first cable, having a power supply line and at least one data line, a main end plugged into said first port of said main device port system and a peripheral end connected with said peripheral device port system, allowing for transmission of power and data; and
at least one second cable, having a main end plugged into said second port of said main device port system and a peripheral end connected with said peripheral device port system, allowing for transmission of additional power from said main device port system to said peripheral device port system.

Abstract
A data and power transmitting cable system that includes a first cable conforming to the USB or IEEE1394 standard. The first cable has a power supply wire and several data transmission wires and is plugged into a first port. The first cable provides for transmission of power and data. The system also includes at least one second cable, following the same standard. The second cable includes only power supply wires, with no data transmission wires. The second cable is plugged into a second port, allowing for transmission of additional power.
