1. A method for providing electrical power and communication signals to an active device, the method comprising:
- converting the electrical power from a mains power system from a first voltage that comprises an AC voltage to a second voltage that comprises a DC voltage at a first location;
transmitting the electrical power having the second voltage through a hybrid cable from the first location to a second location;
transmitting the communication signals in an optical form through the hybrid cable from the first location to the second location;
converting the electrical power to a third voltage that comprises a DC voltage different from the second voltage at the second location;
converting the communication signals from the optical form to an electrical form at the second location; and
powering the active device with the electrical power having the third voltage and supplying the communication signals to the active device at the second location.
