While trying to find a suitable UPS, my associate is leaning towards a power conditioner instead. He believes that a UPS will only kick into battery if power is completely lost, and some UPS's don't don't handle over voltages (surges), though the Liebert Powersure Psi PS1000RT3-120, I'm looking at seems to include AVR. Would something like a Furman P-1800 PF R power conditioner also do the job? All I've heard talked about is UPS's, and not power conditioners, but I guess what I'm asking is, is the problem some of us are having regarding voltage, just a slight voltage drop, or is it a full drop off where the battery in a UPS is actually needed. I guess that's a hard question to answer though.
And thanks for the suggestion for digital snake and shielded cat-5, I think we'll start with unshielded as we have bulk wire kicking around, so doing our run will be super easy, rather than getting a custom shielded cable if we don't require it. But if something come up, I'll look to that first.
