APC 500 Overview

The Back-UPS 500 6 Outlet Battery Backup and Surge Protection (120V) from APC provides professional power protection and battery backup for computer systems. Safe system shutdown and advanced power management capabilities keep systems and data safe via serial or USB connection, and built-in phone/fax/modem (DSL-compatible) connections protect systems from surges traveling on data lines.

The UPS features six outlets, three of which provide battery backup, and another three which are surge-protected. Its battery provides 13.9 minutes of run time at half-load capacity. APC offers guaranteed protection from surges and spikes with a lifetime, $100,000 Equipment Protection Policy.

Data Line Protection
The surge protector features an RJ-11 surge protection connection that allows you to protect modem connections from power surges. This helps to preserve the life of your modem and further protect your computer from surges.
Spaced Outlets
The UPS features two spaced outlets that are designed to accommodate devices with large "power brick" AC adapters. This lets you power and protect these devices without sacrificing another plug due to their large size.

Great little UPS, it's already come in handy a variety of times. All 6 outlets are surge/battery backup. I have several UPSs in my office for a variety of equipment and this one is used for my laptop and several external hard drives.

This has a data port in the back. Could I plug it into a switch and manage it from any PC on my network?
Asked by: James
No, the APC Back-UPS CS 500 6-Outlet Backup and Surge Protector, Beige (120v), B&H # APBK500, is not network manageable. The data port is only to communicate with the Powerchute Software.
