LPS for Optical Network Terminal (ONT)

We have fiber coming into our home with a Nokia ONT/Router combo and I want to add a LPS for streaming. The ONT presently has a wall wart providing  12V, 3A to power it.  Can I  just splice in a standard   US NEMA   plug to the existing wire for connection to a LPS, or, do I need to purchase some specific wire  (which already has an ONT connector) to go  between a LPS and the ONT ? 

I know this sounds extremely simple but I just want to make sure the rewiring doesn't screw things up due to my overlooking something obvious.  I can be very good at overlooking the obvious   😥

Thanks for any insight,

The output of the ONT is an internet wire (COAX), not optical. I am trying to post a link to an image of the power cord going into the ONT but I am having trouble. Here is a try;

The ONT has a power input that looks like the bottom image in this link. I didn’t know if it is possible to buy a cord with that type of connection for the ONT, and, the correct connection for a LPS, or, if all LPS come with wires with that type of connection at the other end for an ONT. I’ve never had a separate LPS before.

Thanks for your patience with me.

Thank you Mitch. I am trying to reduce any noise that may be coming through the electrical service grid in town as I am in the process of demoing some higher end DACs.

I guess you can see where my confusion is coming from. I appreciate your help though
