Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Access, Terminals, Transmission
and Multiplexing (ATTM).
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
As various Operators consider the deployment of fibre-fed remote nodes that contain xDSL DSLAM equipment, it is
necessary to consider the means of powering such remotely located equipment. One such method, known as "reverse
power feed", transmits the power from the customer premises to the fibre-fed remote node using the distribution-side
copper network. The present document defines a reverse power feed transmission standard which allows Operators to
source suitably compliant equipment for inclusion in their networks. The reverse power feed methodology can be used
to power a remote node hosting any metallic transmission system (e.g. G.fast [i.4], VDSL2 [i.3], etc.).

1 Scope
The present document defines architectures and specifications for reverse powering of remote network nodes from one
or multiple CPEs. The architectures describe how to combine reverse power feed with the data only, VoIP and POTS
line services. Start-up protocols are defined to ensure proper interaction between the line services and the reverse power
system. Operations and maintenance requirements for managing the reverse power feed and power combining within
the remote network node are specified. The present document also identifies power splitter and POTS Adapter
requirements.
