Looks like YT's got it. I just Googled "capers" and saw the same photo.

NOW we're in for it!
I'll probably have just as much luck if I just start guessing now! So YT, is it a device to measure the amount of static electricity in purple wool socks? :LOL:

ok, what`s this gray thingy:

it`s Kinda like a converter, as far as I know a phone doesn`t plug into it, although it Does a strange 9 pin D plug at the back that I have no idea what it`s for (it works without it though).
 
A transforming, battery back up inverter?

An inverted, transforming battery backup

A battery backed up, inverted transformer
 
it looks like a small u.p.s. (uninterruptable power supply).

the 9 pin d connector is usually a configuration/maintenance console port.

to be more specific, it takes a.c. in, keeps a trickle charge on a coupla batteries, and usually outputs line a.c., unless it detects the loss of the input. then it kicks in the battery backup, converting the d.c. out of the batteries to supply the a.c. outputs.

we use them on a lot of small computer systems at work.
