Abstract:
A power distributor (61) for a communications system for controlling delivery of electrical power drawn over a plurality of electrical communications connections (20-24) allocated to respective customer premises equipment, to provide electrical power to network components (5, 9) within a network is arranged to control collection of electrical power to be drawn from each connection in accordance with power requirements of services operated by or for its respective customer premises equipment, independent of the identities of the electrical connections used to deliver those services. In particular when electrical connections (20, 22) are not being used by their respective customers they may instead be used by a beam- forming system (9) to support improved service to a customer associated with a different connection (21), and the additional electrical power to power the beam-former (9) is drawn from the connection (21) associated with the customer receiving the enhanced service.
