Power is distributed from Flexi Power Distribution and Fuses (FPFA and FPFB) to the System Module. The FPFA is used with System Module rel. 1, whereas in System Module rel. 2 it is replaced with the FPFB, which gives more power feeding capacity to RF Modules. The FPFB is compatible with both System Module releases.

Functional description: FTLB supports following physical interfaces:
- 2 x electrical Gigabit Ethernet, RJ45 (10/100/1000Base-T)
- 1 x optical Gigabit Ethernet, via optional SFP (e.g. for 1000Base-SX/LX)
- 4 x E1/T1/JT1 symmetrical, RJ48 (coaxial E1 supported via baluns)
It provides HW supports for Ethernet features like:
- Dual Iub, Native Iub/IP
- Timing over Packet (ToP)
- Synchronous Ethernet (SE) slave functions
FTLB is prepared also for Synchronous Ethernet Regeneration. This allows to synchronize either a collocated BTS or even a chained BTS on another site via Synchronous Ethernet.
All three GE interfaces can be used simultaneously with basic Ethernet switching functionality (RAN1847 Basic Ethernet Switching).
