Installation of a mini UPS that can keep these ticking over is a simple plug and play process - and depending on what else you need to power up, and how much you’re willing to spend, you might be able to keep other electronics running at the same time.Īlthough some cheap mini UPS devices may do the trick for part of load shedding, Vosloo recommends nothing smaller than a 1 kilo volt-ampere (KVA), or 1000VA, UPS. “As long as you’re able to use battery power to keep both of them powered up, you’ll likely be able to run a fibre connection throughout load shedding - it just depends on where that ONT box is, and where your router is,” says Vosloo.

If you only have access to the router, powering this up with a UPS won’t keep the ONT box outside powered up - unless you cable up an extension into the back of the UPS and to the ONT box outside – which is most likely a job for a professional electrical company, and could upset your body corporate too.įortunately, Vosloo says the majority of new in-home fibre installations have ONT boxes inside - and it's possible to keep this and your powered on with relatively small capital outlay. “From that ONT box, it comes inside your house to a router, that provides you with a connection to the internet.” 'With fibre in some housing estates, you have an ONT box on the outside that controls the fibre coming into your house,” says Vosloo.

If you live in a housing estate, and you don’t have a passive “Optical Network Terminal (ONT)“ box inside your house, you might not have an easy plug and play solution.

But the news is not all good, depending on your setup, says Clayton Vosloo, the product manager for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems at ElectroMechanica, a company that primarily provides the corporate and industrial sector with various power solutions.
