Recommended UPS

[Monka]

Hi All,


Can you kindly advise as to which UPS would be ideal for 1x16 port POE Switch, 8XIP PHONES AND 1Xconsumer grade Dlink Router.
I would appreciate if you could recommend the specification, Brand and supplier if possible

Depending on your budget and needs, I would go for an inverter with big batteries, something like this:

Mecer 1200VA Inverter + 2x 100AH Battery (8 HOUR BATTERY LIFE) KIT - (720W)

Mecer Inverter 1200VA (720W) + 20A Charger SIMILAR to INTELLIPOWER 3 or TESCOM 1000-200 UNIT Includes 2x 100Ah Battery + Steel Cabinet + Wheels All cabling included Unit Dimensions: 44cm(H) x 39cm(W) x 38cm(L)

How long do you want to keep it running? Also, what is your budget?

Are you on Fiber or LTE?

If on Fiber, are you sure that your Fiber stays up during load shedding? Otherwise keeping everything else up and running, would be pointless.

A router not only links you to the Internet, it also links devices. Fibre can be down, but devices and PC's can still communicate.

I know that...but the fact that she wants to keep 8 IP phones going and a POE switch, does indicate a VOIP solution and that requires internet.

Probably also has LTE backup.

When my ADSL goes off I switch over to LTE.

UPS's are not meant to run things when the power goes off. They are designed to allow you to gracefully shut down devices such as desktop PC's when the power goes off. What you really want is a power trolley with an inverter, battery charger and deep cycle batteries.

Enough to last through loadshedding

Can you recommend one

See post #2. You could probably get away with a smaller unit. If you can find out what the total wattage is, we can tell you what's best suited.
