APC had these smart UPS with a single USB port, to send comms to your device to power it down during a power supply blackout exceeding xx minutes.

Its only work for one device, generally a server or NAS..

But what about both or three device?

How to multiplex these USB comms port?

I am a linux sysadmin, I could write scripts to comms to the devices via ssh, but thats not a idiot-proof solution. Not every device had a CLI shell.
