That can happen.  It really shouldn't be a problem, though can be,
equipment's power supplies should be able to ride out that kind of
thing.  Older equipment's power supplies may not be as good as they
used to be.

Is everything on the UPS, computer and hub?

I'd also check all plugs and sockets are firm.

Sorry, unfamiliar with it.

I've had to replace network switches a few times when they spanned
between buildings.  You could see the LEDs on one of the ports madly
blinking when it got damaged (see: "flapping").  Power cycling it would
reset things back to normal, but over time failures became permanent.

Outside network cabling is vulnerable to things like somewhat-near
lighting, and wind blowing over it causing hight static electricity
voltages.  And you can have mains wiring problems between buildings,
within a building, or even within a room (if it spans a phase) cause
problems with equipment joined together by network cabling.
