<p dir="ltr">3kVA is quite a common sizing for rack-mounted UPSs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">OP: When speccing your UPS, assume ALL PoE ports are fully lit and drawing max current. Or just use the.power supply max ratings for each device - you'll find some things get pretty close to rated power at startup...</p>

Just for some further information, two of the four switches are PoE and I was looking for something rack-mountable. It does really sound like APC is the way to go. I'll look into the power calculator and available models.

just enough to prevent short power issues (~15-30 minutes and above) and with the potential for monitoring. I've heard good things about the Eaton 5PX series and APC Smart UPS for small office setups.
