Central Office Computer Networking

I use the cables for networking in my office. Speed of them is on point.

With networking equipment being hard to come by these days. I gave this a try because I installed a ZyXel firewall at a client's office many years ago and it refuses to die. The switch works fine so far.

I bought this for my home office to neaten up the tangle of wires from my growing collection of networking gear. I built a wooden rack and put all the network-related stuff on it, plugged into the rear outlets. It's not the fanciest set-up in the world, but it does the job. I also like the front outlets, which are handy for portable device chargers and other sundry uses that don't merit a permanent connection. The selling point for this particular UPS in my case was the cover over the power switch, which prevents accidentally turning it off. I know, it's a little thing; but I think it's an important one.

I'm not a networking specialist and use this for my daily WiFi needs at home and in the office. That said, I think it performs spectacularly well. Speed and range are great, setup is easy, and it comes with an actual management dashboard that provides a ton of configurability and information on your network.

I purchased several of these UPSs for my home office and networking equipment. It has been a great addition. My home has poor quality power which affects my computer and sound system. After adding the UPS, I have had no issues. Additionally, the LCD screen allows me to quickly and easily check the UPS status, run time, and power input/output analytics. It has allowed me to work through several small power outages and kept me from losing internet connection. My oldest one is going on 5 years on the original battery without a single issue. I could not recommend this UPS highly enough.

If you’re new to networking Unify is the way to go.

The Mic is not the best out of the box. You must plug it into your computer, download Rode Central, and edit the settings. After that it is perfect.

You can never go wrong buying an APC product. In 25+ years working in the computer hardware and networking industry, I have never once had an issue with an APC product.

Our new office is completed with all new displays for our computer systems.

We purchased this for our CPA office--very good computer for this type of work.
