## Overview

The APC SMT1500RM2UC is a 1500VA / 1000W line-interactive UPS designed for small to medium businesses, featuring pure sine wave output, 6 surge-protected outlets, and a 2U rackmount design. Its standout SmartConnect cloud monitoring enables remote management, proactive alerts, and firmware updates, ensuring your critical IT infrastructure stays protected and efficient during power disturbances.

## Description

Protect your servers, switches, routers and networking devices with the Smart-UPS SMT1500M2UC with APC SmartConnect, the first cloud-enabled UPS for distributed IT. The SMT1500M2UC UPS provides backup battery power in the event of a power outage, while safeguarding your equipment from harmful power conditions, spikes and surges. The included cloud monitoring feature (service-free, no fees required during the warranty period) is accessible from any internet connected device, and maximizes the life and performance of your UPS by providing proactive advice and life-cycle recommendations so you can remotely monitor your power infrastructure from anywhere in the world. Automatic green mode ensures you are operating at the highest levels of efficiency, and intelligent battery management provides real-time monitoring and management through temperature-compensated charging that extends the life of the battery. With a 1000-watt power capacity, battery-backup and surge protection on six outlets, with one switchable outlet group, this UPS is ideal for small and medium sized-businesses.

Review: Perfect to protect your WiFi network and linked smart home devices - Installed in a closet with three devices plugged into it: an Xfinity Gateway, a Netgear Orbi router hub, and a Netgear 10G switch. Gets me through the seconds without power before the generator comes on so none of the (increasing number of) smart home devices (Ecobee thermostats, BAF Haiku fans, Liftmaster door openers etc.) have to be 're-joined' to the network. Certainly a labor- if not life-saver if you have a smart home and live in an area where even brief power outages are not uncommon.
Review: Do your research before buying a UPS - This is my second APC rack-mount UPS for home use. I spent a lot of time researching the different vendors and their battery run times based on the load I was expecting. I chose the higher rated model for my second one (my first was 750VA) because I wanted to last through outages up to an hour. Setup is relatively straightforward, though I think the SmartConnect interface is very much lacking relative to a Network Management Card (which I bought after the fact). APC wants customers to pay for online access to additional features such as control of the outlet groups, which I find cheap and tacky. Based on my 200W load, the UPS will give me close to an hour backup, which is ample time to safely protect my QNAP NAS drives (they use SNMP to detect an outage and perform a clean shutdown), and to shed load by powering off my NVR and other non-essential devices. The APC UPS is a solid piece of hardware, and I trust the brand and reputation to protect my essential data against surges, brown-outs, and black-outs.

*by V***9 on January 24, 2025*

Very annoying that this thing has to phone home in order to get the extended warranty. So far, go kit with proven reliability in the home lab.
