If you aren't trying to keep the desktops up, why not put the UPS, the
comms gear and servers in your electrical room, and pull cat5 (or 5e
or 6 or whatever) to the workspaces?  Seems to me pulling data cable
to 3 offices is a better bet than running new AC lines.   As a bonus,
you can keep people from monkeying with the servers!

You can "protect" the desktops with surge suppressors if they don't
require high availability.

The desktops are already networked into the LAN, the servers and
network stuff is already locked up separately without a UPS. My
intention was to put a UPS with the secured servers, then install
orange outlets in 3 cubes for the desktops all hooked to the one
locked up UPS. I dont understand what you're suggesting. I'm just
trying to avoid having UPS hardware in the cubes if my locked up UPS
already has 3000 to 5000VA available and is secured.
