Know before you buy
Yes. Because this unit provides a pure sine wave output, it is fully compatible with sensitive electronics that utilize active PFC power supplies, such as high-end gaming PCs and professional networking gear.
The CP1500PFCRM2U features 8 outlets, and all 8 provide both battery backup and surge protection. This ensures that every device connected to the unit remains powered during an outage.
The short-depth design allows the UPS to fit into shallower server racks or wall-mount enclosures where standard, deeper rack-mount units might not fit. It is an ideal choice for space-constrained installations.
At full load (1000 Watts), you can expect approximately 3.1 minutes of runtime. At half load (500 Watts), the runtime increases to about 10.2 minutes, giving you enough time to safely shut down your equipment.
While the unit includes a multi-color LCD panel for quick status checks, it also comes with free PowerPanel Business software. This software allows for advanced monitoring, remote management, and automated shutdown configurations.
AVR corrects minor power fluctuations, such as brownouts or over-voltages, without switching to battery power. This helps extend the life of your connected equipment and preserves battery health by keeping the output voltage stable.
