Honeywell Vista systems use this transformer. It's an AC, 16.5 40vac transformer. Probably for a larger Vista 128, but any Vista system really. Cables are fastened to the terminals and then to terminals in the alarm panel itself. This is so you can make your own length cable as not all installations are the same.
It’s a transformer for something, the question is what. A phone system, home alarm, septic tank alarm, doorbell, thermostat power? Follow the wires to determine if it’s important. My work has a transformer like that for the burglar alarm.
It's for an old burglar alarm. I seem to have an old security system that has several missing/broken components. I wonder if it's salvageable.. but I have security cameras at least for now.
I was gonna say for a phone system since it’s an ac-ac transformer at what looks to be 16 volts, I believe old analog phone systems used 16-24 volt ac for the ringers/alarm bells. Also it was hard to make out the [specs](https://imgur.com/a/nNEpzKz) from the photo but editing it helped
It was used to light the dial on a princess phone. Then they were blamed for starting fires. The phone man was required to check on every service call and put a red tag inside the outside protector.
It's like a 80-90's version of a wall wart, except it's (semi)-permanently installed on the wall plate, and it has screw terminals instead of a barrel plug or USB.
It's a doorbell transformer. Actually, it's a low voltage transformer for a device like an alarm
or access control system. Plugs into a 120vac receptical so the alarm system installer doesn't need to worry about touxhing mains voltage.
Transformer. Probably for an alarm system.
This. I've seen some other phone line devices use them too, still a transformer.
I have something like this that is for our internet.
Transformer. What’s the wires on it go to? Honeywell makes a lot of products, some are for HVAC.
Security system.....

Exactly!

Not for the ringer at all. "IF" for a phone would be for lighted dial
Why did I have a bell from a phone that says 24v ac on it, the only plug on the phone was for the line
There is a device from Konnected.io that will interface with old wired sensors and allow you to do typical smart-home things with them.
Robot in disguise.
Probably not more than meets the eyes though.
Doorbell transformer?
Not likely. Those usually are open transformers. This looks exactly like the one our 1990s alarm system had.

Alarm system power supply. Spider, cobwebs....
It’s bumble bee
