Intelligent Rackmount Power Protection
The APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA 2U (SMC1500I-2U) is part of the Smart-UPS range, an intelligent and efficient network power protection offering. This 1500VA / 900W line-interactive UPS provides pure sine wave power to support critical electronics during power disruptions, making it well suited to entry-level servers, networks, business VoIP, retail point-of-sale, and edge networks that demand clean, reliable backup.
Space-Saving 2U Rack Design
This compact 2U rackmount unit fits neatly into standard 19-inch cabinets, conserving valuable rack space. It ships with rack mounting brackets, a USB cable, and documentation for fast deployment. A multifunction LCD status and control console gives clear, real-time visibility into load, runtime, and battery health directly at the rack, simplifying day-to-day monitoring.
High Efficiency and AVR
Green operating mode delivers high operating efficiency that lowers energy costs and heat output. Built-in automatic voltage regulation corrects voltage fluctuations without using battery power, extending battery life. With a fast 2 ms typical transfer time and less than 5% harmonic distortion at full load, it keeps sensitive equipment running smoothly through disturbances.
Reliable Battery and Surge Protection
The SMC1500I-2U uses a sealed lead-acid battery (replacement APCRBC157) with a 4-6 year service life and roughly 3-hour recharge time. Full-time multi-pole noise filtering and 459 J of surge energy protection shield connected devices, while configurable alarms keep you informed when the unit is on battery or running low, helping prevent costly downtime.
