First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An optical line terminal comprising: (a) said optical line terminal capable of receiving digital data from a core network and in response provide optical digital data to a plurality of optical network terminals; (b) said optical line terminal including a first connector suitable to receive sinusoidal wall power generally in the range of 100 volts to 140 volts at a frequency of 45 hertz to 75 hertz; (c) said optical line terminal including a second connector suitable to receive quasi-sinusoidal power from a coaxial cable connection generally in the range of 45 volts to 115 volts at a frequency of 45 hertz to 75 hertz; (d) said optical line terminal including a third connector suitable to receive direct current power from a twisted pair of wires; (e) an input power circuit interconnected to said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector, where said input power circuit is configured to receive power from each of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector and in response provide direct current power to a processor of said optical line terminal. 2 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein said twisted pair of wires does not provide power to any other device than said optical line terminal. 3 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein said frequency of said sinusoidal wall power and said frequency of said quasi-sinusoidal power are substantially the same. 4 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein direct current power to said processor of said optical line terminal is a combination of power received from at least two of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector. 5 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein direct current power to said processor of said optical line terminal is a combination of power received from all three of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector. 6 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein direct current power to said processor of said optical line terminal is a power received from one of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector, and upon interruption of said power received, is received from another one of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector. 7 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein direct current power to said processor of said optical line terminal is a power received from one of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector, and upon interruption of said power received, is received from another one of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector, and upon interruption of said power received from said another one of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector is received from the remaining one of said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector. 8 . The optical line terminal wherein a selection matrix is used to make a selection among said first connector, said second connector, and said third connector upon said interruption. 9 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein said direct current power from said input power circuit is provided to a radio unit interconnected with said optical line terminal. 10 . The optical line terminal of claim 1 wherein said direct current power from said input power circuit is provided to a battery backup system interconnected to said optical line terminal.
