| 1. A network device comprising:
a power potential rectifier comprising a transistor bridge comprising a plurality of transistors with source and bulk connections
tied to output voltage lines adapted to conductively couple a network connector to an integrated circuit that rectifies and
passes a power signal and data signal received from the network connector, the power potential rectifier regulating a received
power and/or data signal to ensure proper signal polarity is applied to the integrated circuit.
