I have had good luck with BayTech in the past.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a small, cheap, reliable ATS?
(I know, pick two, you can't have all three) I'm looking for something to power one or two 120V out-of-band network device(s) in each location with a single power supply each, much less than 10 amps total, with two 120v input cords.  The primary input cord will go to the UPS and the other directly to a wall outlet to be able to access the UPS when if fails to turn on after the power returns :-)

I found the usual suspects, APC, TrippLite, ServerTech, etc. but they are mostly 8 or more outlets and upwards of $300-$900 each.

I also found this neat one, Zonit uATS, which is a small box that piggybacks onto the powered device's C14 input and has two power cords coming out of it.  But it seems to cost just as much as the bigger ones...
