The power went out literally a minute after I finished hosting a workshop. Good timing I guess. Time to invest in some more batteries?

  Depends on what's powering the other end of the fiber line. I guess mine is on a different grid, but I'm also in a weird spot between two different power companies.

  In my case, mine typically goes down when the power does, because everything is on the power lines up here—if the power goes out, it’s because the line was severed and it’ll take out our network, too.

  Fiber stays on if power dies? Is it dumb I didn’t know that?

  I've got the same setup. I have an Eaton 5S1000 and another 5S700.

  Clearly I need to beef it up a bit, but right now I have a UPS on the network gear and also at my desk. It can keep things powered for about 30-40 minutes, and my internet is fiber so it stays online too

  What’s your current setup for backing up power? (Video idea!)
