1. A method for a digital communication system, comprising:
providing a plurality of digital communication ports that can be deployed at a location, each of the plurality of digital communication ports comprising:
an RF transceiver configured for conducting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) radio frequency (RF) modulation communications over at least a first cable having two to seven conductors;
power feed electronics connected to provide power to a digital device using at least two conductors of the first cable; and
communication electronics for communicating over a second cable including at least eight conductors; and
providing power to the digital device connected to the first cable simultaneously from two or more digital communication ports of the plurality of digital communication ports.
