Re: fios ont power req
Yes the ont does have a battery backup that is mounted on the wall right above the ont. The reason that I want the ups hooked up to it is because the verizon tech told me that when it is running on battery power there is no ring tone that will be sounded on the phones if someone were to call me, so basically the phones are only good for outgoing calls, and as Rattler was saying it will only power the internet and tv for about 5 min. With a max load of 18 watts even a small ups will provide a good amount of backup. Thanks guys |

1 edit | A run-of-the-mill 350 VA UPS will only give you about an hour before it shuts down. I have an APC BE-350R (el-cheapo from Best Buy) on a cordless phone base that draws about 20 watts and that's all I get from it. If you get one of the higher performance units (read that as more $$$), you may get 4 - 5 hours additional.
The last outage we had here lasted 25 hours - cell phone time...
