The present invention relates to a system () for supplying low-voltage DC power to at least one electronic communication device () in a power line carrier communication system furthermore including a power line carrier coupler comprising a coupling capacitor () electrically linked to a medium-voltage line () of a power distribution network. According to the invention, the system () comprises means () for generating a first low DC voltage value based on a current-to-voltage conversion of the leakage current related to said coupling capacitor (), said first low DC voltage value being able to act as power supply to at least one active electronic component () of said at least one electronic communication device ().

Low-voltage DC power supply for electronic communication devices

A cold-shrinkable element for joining or terminating electric cables, the element comprising a set of insulating or conductive layers, an outer protective sleeve, and a support element enabling said set of layers to be maintained in a radially-expanded state, the support element being suitable for being withdrawn from said assembly so as to allow the layers to shrink onto the cable or cables. According to the invention, the element comprises a metallized sheet disposed between said set of layers and said protective sleeve, together with a moisture-absorbing swelling layer disposed between said set of layers and said metallized sheet.
