Product Features
Product Overview
The Tripp Lite SmartPro SMART500RT1U is a line-interactive UPS engineered to deliver reliable power protection for small network environments. With a 500VA/300W capacity and 120V AC input/output, this unit safeguards critical equipment against blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise. Its 1U rack/tower design offers flexible installation in server racks or as a standalone tower, making it an ideal solution for telecom, security, and digital signage applications.
This UPS maintains continuous 120V nominal output even during brownouts as low as 90V, ensuring stable operation for connected devices. The inclusion of six NEMA 5-15R outlets provides ample connectivity for networking gear, while the hot-swappable lead-acid battery allows for maintenance without system downtime. Backed by Tripp Lite's reputation for quality, this model combines essential power protection with practical management features for business continuity.
Technical Overview
The SMART500RT1U employs a line-interactive topology with a 4ms transfer time, ensuring seamless transition to battery power during outages. It delivers a pure sine wave output through pulse-width modulation, compatible with sensitive electronic equipment. The unit's surge energy rating of 480 joules provides robust protection against transient voltage spikes. Runtime performance is clearly defined: 3.20 minutes at full 300W load and 14.60 minutes at half load, giving administrators adequate time for safe shutdown procedures.
The battery system recharges within 4 hours under typical conditions and operates reliably in environments up to 122°F (50°C). Front-panel status indicators offer at-a-glance monitoring of power, battery charge, and load levels. The unit connects via a standard NEMA 5-15P plug and provides six NEMA 5-15R outlets for equipment, with a 10-foot power cord offering placement flexibility. Management interfaces include both USB and serial ports for local monitoring, plus SNMP capability for network integration.
