Patent number: 9640986Abstract: A telecommunications system uses a breakout device to connect a primary power cable to different secondary power cables that connect to different remote radio units (RRUs). For example, the breakout device may include a power distribution terminal that connects ?48 VDC and return power lines in the primary power cable to different ?48 VDC and return power lines in the secondary power cables. In another example, the breakout device may connect a hybrid cable that includes both power lines and fiber optic lines. A surge protection system may be located in the breakout device to protect the RRUs and other electrical device from power surges. Alternatively, the surge protection system may be located in jumper power cables connected between the breakout device and the RRUs.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: RAYCAP INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LTD.Inventors: Zafiris Politis, Fani Asimakopoulou, Kostas Bakatsias, Charis Coletti
