These are not opinions. It is called numerical specifications. Post

I havn't particularly looked at UPS ratings. But a UPS can be connected
to a plug-in surge suppressor, and surge suppression ratings are
readily available for plug-in suppressors. Plug-in suppressors are
available from junk to very high ratings. I presume that applies to
UPSs as well.

And neither claims to protect from the typically
destructive transient.
You have never provided specs for different surge modes for any
suppressor. Still a red herring.

Both use same protector circuit.
Your omniscience is impressive.

Neither has that necessary and essential dedicated earthing wire.
Nothing mysterious about technology well proven and routinely installed
even long before WWII. No earth ground means no effective protection.
Neither sub-$100 UPS nor Monster Cable product has that necessary
earthing.
Your religious views prevent you from understanding how plug-in
suppressors work. The IEEE guide clearly describes action as clamping
the voltage on all wires (power and signal) to the common ground at the
suppressor. Earthing is secondary.


The IEEE and NIST guides both say that plug-in suppressors are
effective.
Links to sites that say plug-in suppressors are effective: 2
Your links to sites that say plug-in suppressors are not effective:
always zero
