1. A method of supplying electrical power from a power source, over a plurality of telecommunication wirelines from network
facility digital telecommunication transceivers to remote site digital telecommunication transceivers associated therewith,
said method comprising the steps of:
(a) supplying electrical power from said power source over a span power bus to each of said network facility digital telecommunication
transceivers; and
(b) at each of said network facility digital telecommunication transceivers, controllably coupling electrical power supplied
by way of said span power bus to a respective telecommunication wireline for delivery to an associated remote site digital
telecommunication transceiver coupled thereto, by controllably limiting current flow through said respective telecommunication
wireline in a manner that prevents a fault-induced transient occurring on any of plurality of telecommunication wirelines
from propagating to any other of said plurality telecommunication wirelines, and thereby preventing misoperation of remote
site digital telecommunication transceivers coupled thereto.
