- WiFi
- CAT Distribution Amplifier
- Two printers
- Phone/Fax
- Internet phone (loses stored numbers when unplugged)
- CCTV for house

- Two satellite receivers with external PSU Plugs
- Two modulators feeding satellite TV into common RF distribution
- One flatscreen TV with external PSU Plug
- Laptop
Roberts Internet Radio
- Wireless headphones
- Bluetooth interface to hifi
- Powered loudspeakers
- Oh and three mobile phones and a tablet, not all of which are plugged in all the time.
Voltages range from 5v to 12v, nearly all DC or pseudo DC.
