I’m looking to buy ups as I have few power outage (last between 1 to 5 seconds max) where I live but I have never used one so don’t know what specs should I check for

Ideally I will plug my 3d printer (about 100-160w when printing), a pi 4 with nvme drive (no idea of wattage) and a mini pc with n100 processor (around 10-20W)

Thanks for your advices

    Actually I could even run Klipper on mini pc but would need a very long usb to reach printer and thought it wasn’t ideal.

    USB has some serious length restrictions, but you can either add a repeater (which in this context, is probably a hub) or use an optical cable with transceivers at each end, something like this.

    The hub is probably cheaper if you just need one extra hop.
