C14 plug & hooking up a UPS - 03/23/15 07:45 PM
In my quest for a great home theater room, I am looking to add some form of power protection to the rather expensive equipment that I have. Over the past 3-4 weeks, there have been a number of large power events where the lights have flickered/flashed/blown.
All my computer equipment is hooked up to a UPS and that kicks in right away to protect me. But inside the Media HT room, having 4-5 ups's scattered around to be beside the equipment that needs to be protected isn't really going to work all that well for me. I was thinking of rather having the outlets run back to an electrical panel, it might be better to link them back to some C14 outlets mounted in the wall where I could locate a big ass UPS to take care of all my needs,
Has anyone else in the HT installation profession out there done anything like this?
