Split UPS backup USB connection

[Vengance_01]

Is there such thing as an active/active usb splitter? I want to take advantage of auto shutdown for both my ESXi server and unraid server. CyberPower has something for esxi but I don't think it supports unraid.

That has a switch built in and requires software to work on windows

I've never seen one and not sure it would work with communication like that, so I'm not help there. Why not use NUT on one machine and connect the other to it?

I have raspberry pie that I run pie hole that might work for this. The problem is the cyberpower software supports very limited Linux distros as client's

I didn't even try their software, but overall NUT is pretty good for networked shutdown. Mine is also running on a Pi at the moment.
