POWER OVER FIBER SYSTEM AND POWER-SUPPLYING-SIDE DATA COMMUNICATION DEVICE OF POWER OVER FIBER SYSTEM

A power over fiber system (1A, 1, 1B) includes: a first data communication device (100) including a power sourcing equipment device (110); a second data communication device (300) including a powered device (310); and an optical fiber cable (200A, 200, 200B). The first data communication device and the second data communication device perform optical communication with one another. The first data communication device is capable of controlling low power supply and high power supply that are performed by the power sourcing equipment device. Feed electric power by the high power supply exceeds feed electric power by the low power supply. The first data communication device starts up the second data communication device by the low power supply to the second data communication device, and enables the high power supply after receiving predetermined light from the second data communication device, and disables the high power supply before receiving the predetermined light.
