These add a nice simple interface for users with a lot of equipment that don't want a lot of remotes. Setup is guided so as long as you take some time and follow the instructions it is pretty easy. Logitech even includes the ability to upgrade from the previous generation like the Harmony one if you happen to have one of those that someone shattered the screen of.

I needed a long cable in a hurry, this was the only one in-stock. It is working fine connecting two devices at 1080P. The cable is OK but the ends are plastic with a fake carbon fiber print that looks and feels cheap, especially compared the the outrageous price tag.

I'm using this between a Barco ClickShare and a projector with no problems. I really like the fact that it is flexible so the adapter doesn't put a lot of stress on the device.

I've been very happy with previous Roku devices, and this is no exception. Setup was easy and the quality is very good. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for two items, 1 the remote is IR(line of sight), not RF like my previous Roku devices and 2 there isn't an Ethernet jack.

Overpriced but gets the job done, I've had no issues with 1080P (all I've tried) and the cord is nice and flexible.

Ease of use, the user-interface, speed/performance, quality, channel options, and everything else are fantastic, the only thing I wish Roku would change is the remote. Making the remote control some basic TV functions (power and volume) would make it perfect for me as I wouldn't always need two remotes.

I'm very happy with this TV but be aware that the remote is different than most - very minimalist. Free delivery was a big plus as this would not fit in an average car or SUV and the guys that delivered it even agreed to carry it upstairs for us.

Connected an iPad Air to a projector, everything worked as expected. My only "problem" was that I forgot to change my sleep timer so if I didn't touch the screen for a couple of minutes it would go black.

Not as much storage but so many other advantages vs. a mechanical drive. This replaced a several year old 3.5in 1TB mechanical drive in a desktop and it was a huge improvement. Faster boot, faster open & save functions, and quieter. Does NOT come with an adapter for larger openings so make sure you can mount this in your system or buy a bracket to put it in a larger bay.

APC - Back-UPS 1080VA UPS - Black
This APC BN1080G UPS features 8 outlets to provide ample connections for your equipment. The rechargeable battery supplies up to 121 minutes of power during outages.
which product can I use to power my sump pump
Want to have 4-8 hours of run time for my 1/3 HP pump.
Unless that pump is amazingly efficient you probably don't want to go this route due to cost... With that being said, you will need to know the wattage of the pump during start-up (if there is a spike needed to start it), the running draw, and roughly what percentage of the time it actually runs. APC/Schneider offers a selector to find a product based on that info here:

connectors
does this unit have rg6 and cat 5 or 6 protection
Yes and yes, but it does combine the telephone and data to one connector so you can only protect one OR the other of those.
There is a picture of the back if you click on the "demo" link and go to one of the tabs.

can i use this as back up on a small oxygen machine
You would need to know the current draw of the unit, as long as it is below 650 watts (including a possible peek at startup) the answer is yes. One VERY important question you may want to ask is about run time at your load. Depending on how close to the max you are, this may only last a few minutes.

Will this work with active pfc power supplies?
It should work with any PC power supply - as long as your total draw stays below the 650 watt rated output.
