Simple answer: No. Customer routers and CPEs are a mix match of a) voltage - 5v, 9v, 12v, etc and b) connector - dc barrel, USB, molex, etc. Fixed wireless and fiber for certain and I have to assume it's the same story with DSL/cable. On Fri, Apr 14, 2023 at 9:06 PM Sean Donelan wrote: > On

Are broadband CPE (ONTs, CMs, NIDs, etc) manufacturers and PV battery wall engineers working on any standardized CPE backup power connectors? AC/DC/AC & wall wart DC again is inefficient and reduces runtime. It would be nice if PV/DC battery wall and broadband CPE had a standard DC
