Reverse Power Feed (RPF)

Privacy Policy

Reverse Power Feed (RPF) is a critical technology for the upgrade of VDSL2 subscribers to the new G.fast standard, which has a maximum range, at high speeds, of 250m. Our RPF solution simplifies the complexity of powering a low-port-count Distribution Point Unit (DPU) by providing power from the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) rather than from local AC mains or other remote feeding. Our RPF chipsets support power feeding from CPEs and shared power delivery and extraction at the DPU. In addition to the powering function, the firmware also manages PSE-DPU signaling, power sharing, per line monitoring and control.  

How Can Our RPF Solutions Benefit Your CPE and DPU Application?

  • Complete RPF solutions simplify system BOM, integration and management
  • Firmware supports main requirements of ETSI TS 101 548 V2.1.1 standard
