CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD 1350VA Pure Sine Wave UPS
The CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD delivers 1350VA/880W of true sine wave backup power with active PFC compatibility—purpose-built for modern networking equipment, workstations, and access control systems that reject modified square wave output. Line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects brownouts and overvoltages without draining battery runtime, while the multifunction color LCD provides real-time load, battery, and utility status at a glance. Six battery-backed NEMA 5-15R outlets protect critical loads; six additional surge-only outlets handle peripherals.

- Three-year warranty with $500,000 connected equipment guarantee covers replacement cost of attached devices damaged by surges while properly connected
Line-interactive UPS topology positions the CP1350PFCLCD as the correct architecture for installations where utility power is present but unstable. The buck-boost AVR transformer taps correct input voltage deviations (sags to 88 VAC, surges to 144 VAC) in under 4 milliseconds without engaging the inverter—extending battery cycle life by 40-60% compared to online double-conversion topologies that continuously convert AC to DC to AC. When input voltage falls outside the correction range or fails entirely, the static transfer switch activates battery backup in under 10 milliseconds—faster than the hold-up time of modern switch-mode power supplies. Pure sine wave inverter output (THD <3%) eliminates the motor hum, fan noise, and power supply incompatibility issues common to modified square wave UPS units; active PFC loads in servers, PoE switches, and enterprise storage draw rated current without derating or thermal stress. The 880W continuous rating supports a 24-port gigabit PoE+ switch (400W PoE budget + 80W switch fabric) plus a 16-channel 4K NVR (200W peak) with 200W headroom—sufficient for typical surveillance head-end or small server room installations.
Integrators deploy the CP1350PFCLCD in network closets, security equipment rooms, and distributed IDF locations where rack space is unavailable but clean power is mandatory. The mini-tower form factor (3.9" W × 11" H × 14" D) fits on equipment shelves, under desks, or wall-mounted via aftermarket brackets; 22.7 lb loaded weight allows single-person installation without lift assist. Twelve NEMA 5-15R outlets are split into two protection zones: six battery-backed outlets sustain PoE switches, NVRs, controllers, and servers through outages; six surge-only outlets protect monitors, printers, and non-critical peripherals from transients without wasting battery capacity. The multifunction color LCD rotates through six display modes—input voltage, output voltage, load percentage (watts and VA), battery charge percentage, estimated runtime at current load, and self-test status—eliminating the guesswork when sizing loads or diagnosing power quality issues. Audible alarms differentiate between on-battery (four beeps every 30 seconds), low battery (continuous beep), overload (continuous tone), and fault conditions; alarm muting is available via the front panel for after-hours deployments in occupied spaces. Runtime at half load (440W) is eight minutes—sufficient for graceful shutdown of a Linux NVR or automated failover to generator power in dual-source installations. At full 880W load, runtime drops to two minutes; integrators specify external battery packs (CyberPower BP48VP2U01 or compatible) to extend runtime to 10-20 minutes for mission-critical head-end equipment.
PowerPanel Personal software (included, free download) provides automated shutdown, event logging, and email/SMS notifications for unattended installations. USB connection to a host server or NVR enables the UPS to issue a graceful shutdown command when battery charge falls below a user-defined threshold (default 20%)—preventing filesystem corruption and lost footage on unexpected deep discharge. Relay contacts (dry contact closure) integrate with building management systems, SNMP traps, or PLC-based power sequencers for lights-out data center operations. RJ45 surge protection clips voltage transients induced by lightning strikes on network cabling—common failure mode for PoE cameras and outdoor wireless bridges in exposed installations. The protection circuit supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet without bandwidth reduction or latency penalty; daisy-chain topology allows a single UPS to protect the switch uplink while cameras connect through the switch's own surge protection. GreenPower UPS bypass mode detects when the battery is fully charged (>97%) and load is under 80% of capacity; the unit automatically routes utility power directly to connected equipment, bypassing the inverter and battery charging circuit to reduce standby losses from 25W to under 5W—cutting annual energy cost by $15-20 in 24/7 installations and reducing cooling load in confined equipment closets.
The CP1350PFCLCD meets UL 1778 (UPS safety), cUL 107.3 (Canadian electrical code), FCC Part 15 Class B (conducted and radiated emissions), and RoHS hazardous substance restrictions—qualifying the unit for installation in commercial buildings, government facilities, schools, and healthcare environments under NEC Article 645 (information technology equipment rooms). ENERGY STAR certification satisfies procurement requirements for federal GSA contracts and state/municipal green building standards. CyberPower's three-year warranty covers the UPS, batteries, and labor; the $500,000 connected equipment guarantee reimburses replacement cost of devices damaged by surges or spikes while properly connected to battery-backed or surge-only outlets—provided the UPS was operating within rated load and the failure occurred during the warranty period. This model addresses the integrator's core problem: providing clean, conditioned backup power to active PFC networking and surveillance gear in non-rack installations where modified square wave UPS units cause compatibility issues, fan noise, or nuisance shutdowns.
