Alpha’s FlexPoint Home Converter converts 120VAC to 12VDC supporting FTTx optical network terminals. The FlexPoint HC is a high reliability AC/DC converter that can be placed in the subscriber’s home and plug into an AC outlet. The low profile AC plug stays in place when inadvertently bumped and does not block an adjacent outlet. The safe low 12VDC output can be routed through the wall to the ONT. The FlexPoint 7.2 or 17Ah, 30W battery backup power supply (BBPS) module can be added to the outside of the home when lifeline telephone services are subscribed. The FlexPoint is an ideal low cost high reliability building block.
