1. A system for prioritized application of operational power receiving over a cable comprising:

  • a primary component;

    at least one secondary component;

    a power supply;

    a data transmission cable for delivering the operational power from the power supply to the primary component and the at least one secondary component, and for transmitting data between the primary component and a remote station; and

    a splitter for separating the operational power from the data received over the data transmission cable, and prioritizing delivery of the operational power to the primary component and the at least one secondary component, wherein power to the primary component is monitored and a predetermined minimum threshold is set at approximately the operational requirement of the primary component and if the monitored power falls below the predetermined minimum threshold, the splitter will decrease the power delivered to the at least one secondary component to an operational power to operate the at least one secondary component.
