I haven't used CyberPower UPS's in the office (currently all variations
of the APC Smart-UPS), however, I do have three basic CyberPower's at
home. One for my computer and the networking equipment, one for my
wife's computer, and one for the DVR and other electronics. I have been
using them for a few years now and have yet to have a problem.
