Power is supplied to telecom equipment in DSLAM outdoor/remote cabinets with relatively short distances between the subscriber and the cabinet. All of the subscriber Customer Premises Equipment connected to the DSLAM each provide a portion of the required power to the remote cabinet via the telephone line connecting the DSLAM and the subscriber CPE. The CPE at the subscriber premises is already connected to power mains in the subscriber premises so, providing power, via the telephone line to the outdoor cabinet is relatively simple. The remote cabinet includes a circuit for receiving the power input from each subscriber and then distributing the power, required by the DSLAM load, equally among the subscribers.

An amplitude detector incorporated in an electronic device with a serial ATA interface detects the amplitude of a serial data signal input to an I/O circuit via a SATA bus. An averaging unit averages the detection results of the amplitude detector. A comparator compares the resultant average with an expected input signal amplitude. Based on the comparison result, an amplitude adjuster adjusts the amplitude of a serial data signal when this signal is output from the I/O circuit. Adjustment is performed such that when the serial data signal output from the I/O circuit is input to another electronic device via the SATA bus, it has an amplitude at least approximately equal to the expected input signal amplitude. In other embodiments, the invention utilizes an amplitude detector, comparator and adjuster and employs a step-by-step adjustment of the electronic device with another similarly equipped electronic device.

The host device appropriately de-modulates the power signal to recover the serial bit stream containing the sensor communication signals.
