USP-RPS: UniFi Redundant Power System Review

I think the thing is flawed and goes again common thought process of what a RPS is. An RPS should be able to boot a device.

I watched the vid a few days ago and keep thinking about this. I’m with @David, granted one part of redundant is to keep the system running if one psu fails but this just seems like they are trying to re-invent the wheel. Sometimes that goes well but… sometimes it doesn’t.

If all the unifi kit had two of the 24pin connectors and you purchased two RPS’ and didn’t use a C13 then it would make sense (it would still be crap because you would NEED to buy at least one to be able to power your kit)

Just make a modular, hot swap-able power supply and put two trays in the back of everything…

Can I use the USP-RPS with another ups like Tripp Lite? I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around getting an USP-RPS incase I want to have say an non unifi camera system so I would have to go with an normal ups for that along with keeping my ISP link up.

Because it’s a redundant power supply and does not have batteries it’s not a UPS replacement.
