Re: Reliability of Networking Hardware?

  Leythos repeatedly (like a broken record) makes this claim that a UPS
protected some electronics. Meanwhile he again forgets to list those
other appliances that had no surge protector and also were not damaged.
 With or without that UPS, adjacent electronics would not be damage.
Therefore, he must have invisible protectors on those other unddamaged
electronics. So why does he not tell us how to install invisible
protectors on those other appliances?

  Meanwhile, effective 'whole house' protectors protect everything.
That reality: a protector is only as effective as its earth ground - as
was well proven long before Leythos even existed. A shunt mode
protector (including those inside UPSes) are ineffective without that
earth ground. Even his UPS numerical specs do not claim to provide
protection. Earth ground being THE most critical component of a
protection 'system'.

  That protection 'system' so that "protection already inside
appliances" is not overwhelmed. That "protection already inside
appliance" is why appliances not on a UPS were not damaged.
