Do you use a UPS?
For switches and network equipment? Why or why not? How about a surge protector?

1. Yes & absolutely
Short power bumps play havoc with electronics. Power line spikes can kill and otherwise shorten the life of electronics.

BTY surge protectors need to be replaced every now and again. Every time they are hit, they get weaker. Eventually all you have is a regular power strip - no protection.
