Abstract
Methods of delivering electric power to equipment of a communications access network are provided herein. In particular, a method of delivering electric power to the equipment includes generating an AC power signal having a frequency between 10 kHz and 500 kHz that is transmitted via a coaxial cable that is coupled between the equipment and a power monitor. The method includes identifying, using the power monitor, a reflection of the AC power signal via the coaxial cable to the power monitor. Moreover, the method includes adjusting a voltage of the AC power signal in response to identifying the reflection. Related systems and coaxial cables are also provided.
