APC Smart-UPS, Line Interactive, 1500VA, Rackmount 2U, 120V, 6x NEMA 5-15R outlets, SmartConnect Port+SmartSlot, AVR, LCD, TAA

Overview

The APC SMT1500RM2UCUS is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to protect critical electronics from power interruptions and voltage fluctuations. Delivering 1500VA and 1000W with pure sine wave output, it ensures stable and clean power for sensitive devices such as servers, networking equipment, and routers. Its compact 2U rackmount form factor fits efficiently into data center racks or server rooms, helping to save valuable space while maintaining reliable power protection.

Equipped with six NEMA 5-15R outlets, this UPS supports multiple devices simultaneously, keeping them operational during outages or unstable power conditions. The automatic voltage regulation (AVR) feature stabilizes voltage dips and surges without resorting to battery power, which extends battery life and maintains consistent performance. The SmartConnect port enables cloud-based remote monitoring, allowing IT staff to track UPS status, receive alerts, and update firmware remotely. Additionally, the SmartSlot supports optional network management cards for enhanced control and integration in complex environments.
