This UPS is designed to support a wide range of standard IT equipment. It is compatible with most network switches, routers, servers, and workstations that draw up to 900W. For surveillance applications, it is suitable for powering NVRs, DVRs, network switches, and critical cameras that require uninterrupted power during utility outages. It integrates seamlessly with APC's PowerChute software for graceful shutdown of connected devices.

Installation Notes

The SMX1500RM2UCNCUS requires a standard 120V US wall outlet (NEMA 5-15P plug). It can be installed as a 2U rackmount unit using the included rack mounting hardware or placed vertically as a tower. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, as it generates heat during operation and battery charging. The unit's weight (approx. 52 lbs) necessitates secure mounting in rack installations.
