Communica should have, or be able to make them up for you. I think I paid R4.50 per connector two weeks ago, and rip-cord is super cheap.

Hey ... @Speedster answered all your questions I see.
I went for the 860P because we sit with 4.5 hour loadshedding slots, so wanted to make sure everything stays on for fibre and Wifi.
I am also using the USB outputs to charge phones, controllers, headsets, etc on my desk in the study. The additional output ports will also allow me to power a MiBox, Decoder, etc should I so wish

Yes, he did.
Those devices look like a great solution.
I'm just deciding which one to buy first...

How many hours do you get from the 860P?
In July when we had loadshedding for under 4 hours mine dropped to 50%.

I wonder if continuous streaming affects batter life.
My first light drops to 75% just after 1h20 mins or so.
I have the ONT and modem on the one device.

Of course - the more activity on the ont/router the more it will draw.

Yep
Picked up the Lifepo4 version of the wibox from Arion.
Tested it on my Asus rt-ac68u and yealink W60B sip. With the in line 19v and 5v converters. Lasted +- 5hrs.
Running the same test on a zyxel T20A 12v spaza and the same yealink sip, it's at 11hrs and counting. I beleive its the same size at the lead acid version, Alan at Arion is a lekker oak, he's customized my box with 4 leads, so I would be able to power, 1x rt-ax88u, zoom ont, yealink sip, and possibly in the near future my ubiquiti 8 port edge switch 150w 48v.
Very impressive little box, blue nova 104wh Lifepo4 cell inside, I believe the cell alone retails for around R800. What's great about this cell is it can keep plugging away being drained up to 95% without showing wear for many many years.
