Great UPS, it does support apcupsd and NUT!!
No issues. Nice and quite. Has worked with every power failure without flaw. Nice long battery life at 30-35% load I put on it.I noticed a few reviews talking about you can’t use NUT or apcupsd with it and having to use the network cloud service. Not true. I don’t have mine connected to the internet and instead use the USB port to connect to my server that monitors it with apcupsd. I can send this data to influxdb via telegraf, as well as configuring apcupsd to shutdown when battery % reaches a certain point.You do have to read the manual though, there’s a part that tells you how to go into the settings and turn on all the details. If you don’t do this, you won’t see load %. Same is true for NUT if you prefer to use that.I have two of these so far. One for network equipment, and one for TrueNAS server. Keeping load at 350≤ watts gives a nice long runtime in the event of power failure.The TrippLite UPS I had a very poor runtime. I tried to save money thinking it would be fine for my network equipment. Ended up getting another SMC1500-2UC, and using the TrippLite as battery backup for my 30W computer.The battery are heavy. Install after you rack mount it. I ended up buying rails for mine because I didn’t like how it sagged with just a connection to 2-posts in my rack.Helps to read the manual about the apcupsd stuff. I also set mine to keep the screen on all the time. Not super user friendly. But UPS devices never really are in my experience.

An industry standard
This APC UPS is a solid choice for keeping your critical equipment running smoothly. It provides reliable power protection during outages and handles minor voltage fluctuations seamlessly. The software is easy to use and gives you good control and monitoring options. While it’s not the cheapest option, the peace of mind it provides is worth the investment, especially if you rely on your electronics for work or entertainment.

APC quickly fixed snafu – unit cam with incorrect mounting hardware
TLDR: It’s properly installed and happily running my gear.This is an edited review because I received the unit with two right side mounting brackets. I called APC, sent them some pictures, and they promptly sent me some new mounting hardware. The customer service was fast, professional, and effective. Sure, I wish I hadn’t needed customer service, but they made it as painless as possible.As for the unit itself, I can’t say that it has been put to the test except for a few minutes while I moved the rack from one room to another. No problems and it did what it was supposed to do. I’m pretty happy with it.The unit is currently not hooked to the network. I’ll do that eventually, but only after setting up a subnet that isolates the unit from the rest of the network. No need to risk any weirdness that may try creeping in via the UPS. I hear it requires an open port, which is no bueno. Luckily, my firewall and managed switches can handle that easily. I’m not sure if I’d connect it to my network if I couldn’t isolate it and safely route that open port.

not what they used to be
I’ve used APC products for over 20 years and I have gradually watched both the quality and capacity of these devices decline over the years. It’s a shame really because the more they try to “improve” by adding unnecessary features the more they lose the core features which made these both extremely reliable mission-critical units. in the 1st place are capacity and reliability. sadly that reliability and bulletproof operation is in my opinion no longer a viable feature of these units. As I sit here writing this review I just experienced a power fluctuation (dropout) and the unit not only did not recover quickly enough but even the front panel began flickering with the fluctuation and my monitors went black. After rebooting I finished writing this review. I have some much older APC units which would have never behaved like this. It sad really that companies who produce quality equipment suffer from what I can only consider bad marketing decisions affecting quality in the end.

Over the years, I’ve bought six of these exact same APC UPS model. So far, none of these has required battery replacement, but has saved various computer equipment from power failures. I’m likely to buy another one of these in the near future.

I purchased this for my home office to protect my sensitive equipment, as my previous UPS (non APC brand) died. I decided to try a refurbished unit this time, which is something I usually are not comfortable with, but so far so good. The unit arrived on time, and was very securely packed. It also passed all selftests, and does not look like it has been used. The only giveaway is the lack of printed documentation and/or a cd with manuals and Powerchute software. That’s no big deal, all of that is available at APC’s site anyway – and honestly, if there was a cd included it would just be sitting in a drawer collecting dust once I have copied what I need off of it, I’ll get 1.5 to 2 hours of runtime with my normal load.

Buy once, cry once. Buy quality or buy junk and buy again. I was in IT for 30 plus years, and relied and still rely on the quality of APC UPS’s. This one is to protect my home network, while not mission critical, it does protect my virtual machines and other infrastructure. Only downside is they use SLA instead of Lithium Ion or newer technology. First time the battery alert comes on it will be replaced with current tech. They get 4/5 for that lack of fore site.
