works great with Ubuntu Linux using apcupsd or upsd
Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!
It's well worth the buy. Lots of ports and good cable management,
This Surge Protector is well made. - 12 Plug Slots (8 of them can Angle for easy access!) - Simple/Great Features No problems hooking it up. UPS actually delivered this thing to me in a Flash Flood warning and the box turned up all beat up and smashed in. To my surprise it was unharmed and in perfect condition! Works like a charm!
No more worrie with power issues
Software is nice, you can daisy chain it from the main server with usb/serial to all of the computers through lan to all shut down together. Also a nice testing feature on the browser page to test the unit and make sure it does work in a real world test situation.
Plenty of capacity to keep our Xserve and network switch online during brief power outages
The 6 outlet option has a long cord, nice if you're a few feet from the socket you're plugged into
After a DR test, it works.
Sleek design and fairly compact. Lots of plugs. Surge protection outlets for non-critical devices. Power Chute personal software is non intrusive and works well for basic configuration of UPS. Configurable alarm settings and automated PC action when power fails.
I have owned this unit for 6 years. SIX YEARS!!! No battery replacement yet, none needed now. Power has gone out probably about two dozen times over that period including several long-term blackouts which required the UPS to shut the computer down (which it did just fine). Hadn't run tests in quite a while, battery passed and the life (running a 750W power supply with gaming card AMD 8350 with a GTX 960 video card and dual LCD monitors off of the battery) was roughly 30 minutes. Not at all bad. The system has never once failed even for the 1-5 second power outages that occurred a few times a year.
Can handle demanding load Easy setup Good customer support Easy tracking of power usage
Used it and the power soft software to prove that the power company needed to replace the transformer that was going bad for a number of years.
does the job good build and design
-Cheap -Equipment insurance in case of failure (never had to use this) -Reputable manufacturer -Black -6ft cord instead of 3ft -Dedicated power brick (wall wart) outlet, spaced down from other outlets at the bottom
LCD monitor for incoming voltage, battery capacity, battery power, unstable voltage, unit test. 180 " Removable LCD unit so you can mount it Flat or Tower. Auto-Matic Voltage Regulator Keeps voltage constant.
Came charged Worked right of the box. Plug and go.
Great little surge protector, probably one of the best buys for your money!
