I advice on which of these would be best suited for powering my network gear in a 30min power outage

my network gear is

a spectrum cable modem

firewalla gold router

Aumox 8 Port Gigabit POE Switch (SG308P)

EnGenius EWS357AP (powered vi poe from switch)

Synology 1 Bay NAS DiskStation (DS119j)

Obihai OBi200

Panasonic Cordless Phone System - KX-TGD613B

i have no idea how to calculate the power draw of the items combined

with either of the suggested ups units how long would i get for the network gear on battery

I have seen devestating reviews of the Amazon line of UPS gear (sorry no link).

In general, I would look for a UPS with pure sine wave capability.

I use CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD - PFC Sinewave UPS Systems, which, to me, strike a good balance between cost and functionality.

Buy a Kill-a-watt, measure, then circle back around to the UPS

Both the ones he linked at APC, not Amazon Branded

Watch out for those CyberPowers, I’ve had several with the same fault which they refuse to acknowledge is a problem

Plug in a power strip with it all in, then you can measure the total VA, total watts and even do a kwh calculation directly on the device

That will give you solid information for choosing a UPS and calculating runtime
