Overview
Plugging a router, console or desktop into this CyberPower unit holds them running through brief power cuts, long enough for a graceful shutdown. Three extra outlets add surge protection only, and USB ports charge phones even on battery power.
A slim shape that wall mounts and widely spaced outlets make it easy to tuck behind a desk or TV. Short runtime and simulated sine wave output limit it to riding out flickers and short outages.
Who it's for
Remote workers protecting a router and PC, and gamers guarding a console, get backup and surge protection in a slim unit. Users running equipment through long outages need a larger UPS.
Pros and cons
- Slim, wall mountable
- Mix of backup and surge outlets
- Widely spaced outlets for big plugs
- USB-A and USB-C charging
- Simulated sine wave output
- USB charging power is shared
Performance notes
On mains failure it switches to battery within the standby design, so sensitive gear sees a brief transfer. Runtime falls quickly as load rises, so the listed minutes apply to lighter loads.
