Fibre-optic enclosure having transceiving means operable to generate and receive optical signals

Passive fibre-optic enclosure comprising, on an inside of the enclosure,

• a) one or more fibre-optic functional units of a telecommunication network, optically connectable, via an optical fibre, with a central network unit, for receiving telecommunication signals for one or more subscribers via the optical fibre from the central network unit,
• characterized in that the enclosure further comprises, on the inside of the enclosure,
• b) transceiving means,
• operable to generate first optical signals using electrical energy,
• operable to receive optical response signals from the central network unit,
• optically connectable to the optical fibre such that the first optical signals can be transmitted by the optical fibre to the central network unit, and such that optical response signals can be transmitted by the optical fibre from the central network unit to the transceiving means, and
• adapted to receive the electrical energy for generating the first optical signals from the outside of the enclosure in a contactless manner.
