Abstract: The invention relates to a piece of customer premises equipment (CPE) comprising a physical connector (21) for linking to a broadband network and a distributing structure (NTU, 24) that is connected to said physical connector for distributing broadband elements over one or more service modules (RGUs A, B, C, D) for associated customer modules (CUEs E, F, G, H). According to the invention, said distributing structure (NTU, 24) comprises a plurality of mechanically modularly arranged connector facilities (25) at an interface between the distributing structure and the service modules so as to provide a repeatedly mechanically exchangeable connection for a service module (RGU) belonging to one service provider from a range of mutually distinct service providers each time. The distributing structure (NTU, 24) is further provided with means (26, 27) for making said mutually distinct service providers indiscriminately exchangeable among said connector facilities (25).

Abstract: The invention is particularly related to an optoelectronic device (10) for use at the location of a customer of a broadband network system. According to the invention, the device (10) comprises a first module (11) that comprises a transceiver (4) that has been connected to an incoming optical fibre (3) and a second module (12) that has been provided with user ports on the user-accessible outside (5) within which means (6) for carrying out an additional processing reside and that has been detachably attached to the first module (11) using co-operating attachment means (7) present on the modules (11,12) wherein two adjacent sides of the modules (11,12) have been provided with mutually corresponding connector parts (8) forming a connection by means of which the signals coming from the transceiver (4) are during use led from the first module (11) to the second module (12).
