UPS for HUB5

Hi,
I am looking for some advice on what UPS I can get for my HUB5 due to some annoying power cuts my area can experience.
I already own this for my PC:
https://www.cyberpower.com/uk/en/product/sku/cp1300epfclcd-uk

but this is setup completely out of reach for where the modem is so I was thinking about these mini UPS that would just be for the modem alone & which one would actually work with the HUB5 with regards to voltage & connections to the unit itself with the right adapter from my modem to the unit. I found these on amazon but I'm not sure if one of them could be compatible with the HUB5:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mini-10400mAh-Router-Battery-Backup/dp/B0CNT6LLHP?dib

https://www.amazon.co.uk/APC-Back-UPS-Connect-Lithium-Ion-Controllers-White/dp/B0CJ5D89Z9?dib=

If anyone here has done something similar with their HUB5 having its own 'mini UPS' I'm very interested to hear what you purchased that worked.

Have a read at this thread on Thinkbroadband.  Need a new wee UPS for router :: Home Networking, Internet Connection Sharing, etc. :: think broadba...

The most mentioned on those Forums seem to be the Eaton 3S Mini, however there are many similar ones on Amazon etc.

I presume the street cabinets don't have a UPS, but a UPS for the modem itself can not only maintain the connection but also protect it from any possible damage caused by power surges when power is returned or repeated on-and-off cycles when power cuts happen. Sometimes, it's not just one cut & the power returns it can be on and off multiple times right after each other, which I figure might not be good for the modem

I have all my kit on an APC UPS.  Mainly because we get the occasional brown out.  Otherwise we would have some kit restarting from the voltage drops.

The problem with mini UPS will be finding the adapter so you may have to get a full size UPS

Also how many amps does the hub 5 need?

A UPS that produces mains voltage is very easy to re-purpose.

We can't know what VM Hub model or RFoG ONT PSUs might be issued in the future to get us back online.
