Redundant low-power distribution in a power distribution network

Redundant low-power distribution in a redundant power distribution network (PDN) is disclosed. Multiple low-power conductors are employed to convey power from a power source to a remote subunit. The multiple conductors are isolated from one another to help prevent overcurrent conditions in a fault condition. In some cases, the multiple conductors may be provided for redundancy purposes. A power aggregator may be present at the remote subunit. However, the remote subunit may not contain the end power consumer. In such cases, there may be an additional link from the power aggregator to the end power consumer. A power limiter may be positioned between the power aggregator and the end power consumer. In this fashion, the link between the power aggregator and the end power consumer may still comply with low-power constraints.
