APC, founded in 1981 as American Power Conversion and part of Schneider Electric since 2007, is one of the best known makers of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and surge protectors. Its Back-UPS line keeps home routers, computers and network gear running through outages, while Smart-UPS covers small business and server racks. Many models connect over USB to the PowerChute software for automatic shutdown, and Smart-UPS units add SmartConnect cloud monitoring and network management cards.

Ubiquiti is a US networking company whose smart home relevance comes from its UniFi platform, spanning Wi-Fi routers, mesh systems, switches, security cameras (UniFi Protect), video doorbells and access control. Its gear is prized by enthusiasts for high performance, a unified local-first UniFi OS interface and no mandatory subscriptions. A fast, reliable UniFi network is a popular backbone for larger smart homes, though the ecosystem leans prosumer rather than plug-and-play.
