panoverclockers Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Hi. This is my UPS http://www.powerwalker.com/datasheet/Line-Interactive/PowerWalker%20VI%202200.pdfAs you can see in the back site has a RJ11\RJ45 IN\OUT connections, well i dont know what to do with them. ---------------------I protect my computer bypassing the 240V power through the UPS to the computer, so far so good.But ( i think) i also risk from the modem\internet connection, i have connected modem+computer using a Cat5 cable, that way i have internet connection.If any ''Bad'' energy\voltage pass through the modem to my computer it may damage or kill the computer?I connect the modem to my computer using cat5 cable, so i wonder if its possible from the modem to connect the cat5 cable on the UPS IN and from the UPS OUT another cat5 to connect on the computer??? Thank you! Edited October 27, 2014 by panoverclockers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Yes, surges can travel through anything that can conduct power, like cat5, cat6 HDMIs, USB and of course power cables. A surge though cat5 or HDMI can kill your motherboard and almost any part connected to it. So by using the RJ45 in/out you can protect your Ethernet from surges. Works 99% of the time.

So, to clarify and ensure that i am not doing anything wrong..... Ethernet cable (cat5) is connected\coming from the modem to my computer. a) I will remove the Ethernet cable (cat5) from my computer. b) I will connect the Ethernet cable (cat5) in the UPS RJ11\RJ45 IN connector. c) I will connect a second Ethernet cable (cat5) in UPS RJ11\RJ45 OUT connector. d) I will connect the second Ethernet cable (cat5) in my computer. MODEM--CAT5--->UPS IN. UPS OUT--CAT5-->COMPUTER. Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebraset Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Looks like the right idea to me. I've personally never used one, but your thinking seems sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkakmanH Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 You can do all tht. But, if you put both your model and computer on the UPS you should be protected without using the UPS Cat5 in/out jacks. I have monitor/computer/modem and phone on a Tripp Lite Smart1500. I only care about short power interruptions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have monitor/computer/modem and phone on a Tripp Lite Smart1500. I only care about short power interruptions. It's OK if you only care about power interruptions but what about spikes on the telephone wire? It's not a problem if you have fiber optic to the house but many still have (copper) wired telephone lines which can have high voltage induced spikes from lightning. It's never been a problem for me but maybe others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoverclockers Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I cannot find anywhere which one is the IN connector and which the OUT connector.They are no any indicators on the back of the UPS.There is nothing on the book of the UPS.There is nothing on the faq\manual.
