Abstract
A communication power distribution system including a single power regulator which feeds a plurality of transmission lines current limited by corresponding active current limiters.
Claims8
A communication power distribution system comprising:
- a single power regulator configured to supply a predetermined regulated power over a first set of a plurality of transmission lines;
- a plurality of active current limiters, at least one of the plurality in operative connection with one of the first set of plurality of transmission lines;
- a second set of a plurality of transmission lines, at least one of the plurality in operative connection with said at least one of the active current limiters;
- and,
- a plurality of optical network units, at least one of the plurality in operative connection with one of the second set of transmission lines.
2 more elements
A communication power distribution system comprising:
- a central office which generates system operating parameters;
- a host digital terminal in operative connection with the central office, configured to receive the system operating instructions from the central office;
- a plurality of optical network units, each arranged to receive control signals from the host digital -terminal;
- and
- a local power hub in operative connection with the host digital terminal to receive control signals from the host digital terminal and in operative connection with each of the optical network units over individual transmission lines for carrying power to the optical network units, the local power hub including a single power regulator with a plurality of output lines, at least some of the output lines having an associated current limiting circuit used to current limit its associated output line, the output of the active current limiters connected to associated ones of the transmission lines.
