Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Smart-UPS C 1000VA/600W line interactive tower UPS delivers reliable power protection for critical business infrastructure. This unit combines 1 kVA/600W capacity with pure sine wave output, automatic voltage regulation (AVR), and eight NEMA 5-15R outlets to safeguard servers, networking equipment, POS terminals, and VoIP systems.
Designed for entry-level server rooms, network closets, and retail environments, the Smart-UPS C provides sufficient runtime to handle brief outages or initiate graceful shutdowns. Its tower form factor supports standalone deployment or optional 2U rack mounting, offering flexibility for diverse IT environments. The integrated LCD provides clear status information, while SmartConnect enables cloud-based remote monitoring without additional management cards.
With a 10 ms transfer time, the UPS maintains continuous power during minor fluctuations, switching to battery during outages to prevent downtime. The pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive active PFC power supplies in modern servers and networking gear, while AVR corrects input voltage variations between 93-130V AC without draining the battery, extending runtime and reducing wear.
The 1000VA/600W capacity supports typical loads such as an entry-level server with a switch and router, providing 9.2 minutes of runtime at full load for orderly shutdowns. The hot-swappable lead-acid battery allows replacement without powering down connected equipment, minimizing maintenance downtime and ensuring continuous operation.
