Every job I do I include a UPS in the price protects the routers and switches. If they don't have a UPS then you can't guarantee or accept responsibility for a failed product. Here is a picture I took in Southern Ontario across the lake from Jeff, I had another one with the lightnig bolt running down the line but it over exposed and didn't turn out. https://www.contact-directconnect.com/My%20Light.jpg They say not to answer your phone in lightning storms for good reason ! :toast:

Scientists say that the universe is made up of Protons, Neutron & Electrons. They forgot "Morons". Dave. (CTUB) Canadian Techs Use Bix!
