Comments about APC Back-UPS HS 500VA 120V - 4-Outlet, Network, Phone and Cable Protection:
I have been using these units for years in several network applications. Not a single one has failed, and the ability to log in remotely and electrically reset devices through the IP controllable power outlets has been very useful.
At home I use this with a DSL modem, 24-port switch, 8-port switch, 2 wireless access point, and a fire wall. And the run time is about 1 hour according to the web interface.
It also has versatile mounting wall mountable, floor standing and 2U shelf mounting.
This is great for network equipment. Not recommended for a computer. does not have shutdown software.
