First off the price is amazing for a rack mounted surge protector, had I room for this in my current rack I'd buy one as I do have devices near the rack that are not backed by the UPS.
However there are some things you may wish to consider before buying this:
1. Its a real shame that these are not mounted at a 90 Degree Angle, after using one that has this design I see little reason to go back, especially if you have a lot of "wall warts"
2. Along the same lines, while the back is spaced out well (if they had just angled it right) the front could have been better spaced out to again support more wall warts.
3. Realize that this is a surge protector, in many cases when you're rack mounting items, chances are you have a rack mounted UPS powering the rack, you never want to plug in a surge protector into a UPS, you want a pure power strip.
I usually recommend this Tripp Lite RS-1215-RA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006B834 however this is more than double the cost of this current slick deal.
Note: this thing is meant to be rack mounted, so it's bigger than it looks. Check out the Staples pictures for a better idea of the size and shape: https://www.staples.com/cyberpowe..._IM

explain what happens when you plug a surge protector in a ups.

Surge protectors utilize MOVs (Metal Oxide varistors) in their circuitry. Nonconforming MOVs in a surge protector connected to a UPS may cause the UPS to report an overload or a short circuit alarm.
Surge protectors filter the power for surges and offer EMI/RFI filtering but do not efficiently distribute the power, meaning that some equipment may be deprived of the necessary amperage it requires to run properly causing your attached equipment (computer, monitor, etc) to shutdown or reboot. If you need to supply additional receptacles on the output of your UPS, we recommend using Power Distribution Units (PDU's). PDUs evenly distribute the amperage among the outlets, while the UPS will filter the power and provide surge protection. PDUs use and distribute the available amperage more efficiently, allowing your equipment to receive the best available power to maintain operation.
Strictly speaking the short extension cables do not meet code and should not be used. But again whose gonna know?
This seems to really have rubbed you the wrong way, you must be a hoot at parties.
