Overview
CyberPower built this mini-tower UPS around line interactive topology, so it runs on utility power and switches to a sine wave battery output when the grid fails. Automatic voltage regulation corrects minor fluctuations on its own, and a tilting color screen shows status from under a desk.
Clean sine wave output sets it apart, since computers with active PFC power supplies need that waveform on battery. A pair of charge ports powers phones during an outage. The listing leaves out the capacity rating and outlet layout, the numbers that decide whether your setup fits.
Who it's for
Home offices, network closets and media cabinets where the power flickers often get the most from the voltage regulation and sine wave backup. Shoppers who must size a backup against a known load should look elsewhere, since the listing omits capacity and runtime.
Pros and cons
- Sine wave output suits active PFC supplies
- AVR corrects small sags without battery drain
- Tilting color screen readable under a desk
- USB-A and USB-C charging during outages
- Capacity, wattage, outlet count and runtime not listed
- Heavy for a desktop unit
- Mini-tower needs floor or desk space
Performance notes
Runtime during an outage depends on the connected load against the two internal batteries, and the listing gives no capacity to work from. Automatic voltage regulation corrects small swings without switching to battery, which reduces battery cycling and extends battery life. Sine wave output matters for power supplies with active power factor correction, which need that waveform when the unit runs on battery.
