The other plug converts 5v to 9v dc for the lvi , Sure I could put the 9v converter board Into the modem case itself, but wiring it would be so much more work and having another plug was much easier. It would be too costly I would have to charge more in labor alone XD
Awesome, thanks! I ask because I'm planning to just put the 5v->9v buck converter into the case, power it from the 5v line, then connect the cap in-line with one of the pins on the phone line pair.
