Abstract:
An optical-electrical interface device for coupling to an optical distribution network is provided which comprises: a housing, an optical fiber port for coupling to a single optical fiber, an optical network terminal unit connected to the optical fiber port, a power sourcing management unit configured to manage the power supply of the optical network, network terminal unit, a plurality of electrical ports and a plurality of electrical cables each connected to the power sourcing management unit and to one of the electrical ports. The electrical ports are accessible and/or arranged outside the housing, wherein the optical-electrical interface device is configured to reverse-feed electrical power, from external electrical module devices connected to the electrical ports, for operating the optical network terminal unit which is arranged inside the housing. The power sourcing management unit is configured to calculate and/or control shares of electrical power received and/or to be received via the electrical cables from external electrical module devices, dependent on the number of external electrical module devices connected to one, some or all of the electrical ports.

Claim (Index 12):
The electrical module device of  claim 10 , wherein the power feeding adjustment unit comprises a second electrical route for at least locally de-routing a direct current bias voltage, inside the housing, from the first electrical route, wherein the power feeding adjustment unit comprises:\n a first power sourcing interface unit and a second power sourcing interface unit between which a direct current bias voltage to be received at the second electrical port is de-routed from the first electrical route and a DC/DC converter connected between the first and the second power sourcing interface unit and configured to transform a direct current bias voltage, responsive to a control signal (CS; CSi) to be received via a first electrical port and the first power sourcing interface unit, into an adjusted direct current bias voltage to be reverse-feed back to the first electrical port.
