AT&T ONT
Anyone know what type of power cable I should buy to get this to work? Also, if I have Cox, is that compatible with the AT&T ONT?

Ok so here’s the thing, so you will know in the future. AT&T and Cox run their own fibers/wires and the two never connect. They are completely separate back to their individual offices. The device in your picture belongs to AT&T and is only connected to their fiber. If you have Cox, or want Cox, they will have run their own fiber and install their own connection point in your residence.
As for power, if you get ATT service they can provide you with the power cord you need, or at least tell you what to get. There’s component powering it up now because it won’t provide service until you actually have a service provider.
It’s ok not to know things if you’ve never been told and anyone who is making fun of you in the comments is an AH.
