Hello

I purchased the Cyberpower 1500VA UPS this one here (EU Version - 6 outlets, 3 battery and 3 surge)

Wall outlet ---> Powerline with an outlet passthrough (netgear PLP1200) ---> Power strip ---> Devices

My devices:
1 PC
1 Modem
1 Router
1 Desk Lamp
2 Monitors
1 Ethernet Switch Port
1 charging adapter

8 plugs in total, running into the wall outlet for 2 years now just fine


I purchased a Cyberpower 1500VA UPS that has 3 battery outputs and 3 surge. 6 in total. Thing is that i need 4 battery outputs (ideally) for: PC, Monitor, Modem, Router and 8 outlets in total...so i have couple options i guess...


I was thinking what if i use an outlet splitter like:

1 goes for the UPS Cyberpower
1 goes for the powerline and via the it's passthrough i connect the power strip
1 goes for a very small UPS for modem only

this is one way i was thinking of.

Another way idea could be
Wall outlet ---> powerline with passthrough ---> power strip (non surge) ---> UPS

I also have another smaller UPS that was provided from my provider for my modem because its a VOIP line, its a small 300w UPS. Could i connect 2 UPSs on the power strip

I am really confused....!
 
I mentioned this recently in another post, but you can buy just the male connector that plugs in to the UPS, cut off the plug on a bog standard extension lead, and wire it in. That way you can plug your switch, charger, router, modem etc in to that.

*edit*

Here is the male connector that I mean. Its called a C14 male connector, and can be picked up from various places for not much at all.

I presume this is what you use to connect to your UPS? If not, I am sure there is the same thing available but for the type of connector you need.
