The "ret -110" below is a timeout, and usually the only way this can happen is with a bad USB connection. I realize this introduces another potential point of failure, but does a USB hub (externally powered) clean up the signal?

That said, the devices that speak the blazer* protocols are fairly inexpensive, and it is possible that there is an issue with the USB connections inside. It might also be worth checking the mailing list archives in case I am forgetting about another potential quick fix: https://networkupstools.org/support.html#_mailing_lists <https://networkupstools.org/support.html#_mailing_lists>
