Overview
A line interactive design with automatic voltage regulation lets this APC rack UPS correct sags and surges without draining the battery, switching to pure sine wave battery power during outages. Its Ethernet port links to APC cloud monitoring.
Small offices with a short rack get clean battery power and remote alerts in a slim chassis. It has no SmartSlot, so network card based shutdown is not an option.
Who it's for
Small businesses protecting a rack of network gear, an entry server or VoIP will use the cloud alerts. Sites that rely on network card shutdown of virtual hosts should choose a SmartSlot model.
Pros and cons
- Pure sine wave output
- Slim rack chassis
- Cloud monitoring and alerts
- Automatic voltage regulation
- No SmartSlot for network card
- Heavy for its size
- Runtime figure gives no load
Performance notes
Runtime depends on the connected load, and the listing gives one figure without stating the load. Voltage regulation corrects small swings on utility power so the battery is saved for real outages. Shutdown of servers relies on PowerChute over serial or USB.
