APC Smart-UPS On-Line, 6kVA/6kW, Tower, 230V, 6x C13+4x C19 IEC outlets, Network Card+SmartSlot, Extended runtime, W/O rail kit

This APC Smart-UPS 6kVA on-line tower UPS provides pure sine wave output and extended runtime to support critical IT equipment during power disruptions. It is intended for IT professionals and network administrators who need reliable, network-manageable backup power with a wide input voltage window and tight output regulation.

Advantages

The UPS delivers pure sine wave power and frequency regulation suitable for sensitive electronics, includes embedded network management for remote monitoring, and supports graceful shutdown of physical servers, virtual machines and HCI clusters via PowerChute Network Shutdown. It offers multiple IEC outlets, hard-wire 3-wire (1P+N+E) input, internal bypass and input power factor correction. A SmartSlot allows adding optional accessory cards for expanded integration.
