Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An optical network terminal (ONT) comprising:
an optical transceiver device for converting received optical signals to electrical signals and for converting received electrical signals to optical signals for transmission;
a high speed electrical device disposed to communicate electrically on a transmission line;
a power extractor comprising an electrical coupling device connected to a power converter and the power converter connected to a power supply, wherein the power extractor is connected to the high speed electrical device via the electrical coupling device and the electrical coupling device is disposed to couple to the transmission line and wherein the ONT is disposed to be electrically powered by electrical power received through the transmission line responsive to application of a predetermined load on the transmission line by the electrical coupling device wherein the predetermine load indicates the ONT is connected to the transmission line and wherein the received electrical power is converted by the power converter and supplied to the power supply for electrically powering the ONT; and
an Adaptation device connected to the optical transceiver device and the high speed electrical device, wherein the high speed electrical device and the optical transceiver device transmit and receive electrical signals to the Adaptation device and wherein the Adaptation device manages data link layer processing between electrical and optical interfaces, wherein the high speed electrical device and the electrical coupling device are the electrical interface and the optical transceiver device is the optical interface and wherein managing data link layer processing includes encapsulation and decapsulation of data between the electrical interface and optical interface.
