A connector port for providing power to a serial device and termination of differential signals received therefrom is provided. The port includes circuitry providing a data interface and a power interface. The data interface is operably connected between an input differential wire pair and an output differential wire pair for providing termination of the input wire pair and transmission of signal onto the output wire pair. Further, the power interface includes a fuse link operably connected between a voltage input and a voltage output for providing overcurrent protection.
