Description
APC Smart-UPS SMT1500RM2UCNCUS — 1500VA 2U Rackmount Line-Interactive UPS
The SMT1500RM2UCNCUS delivers 1500VA / 1000W of clean pure sine wave power in a 2u rackmount form factor designed for 120V environments. As part of APC's Smart-UPS line-interactive series, it provides Automatic Voltage Regulation to correct utility brownouts and surges without unnecessary battery cycling — the practical difference between a UPS that lasts five years and one that needs new batteries in two.
Why Line-Interactive UPS for This Load Range?
Line-interactive topology sits between basic standby UPS (no voltage regulation) and double-conversion on-line UPS (continuous inverter operation). For loads in the 1500VA range serving servers, network equipment, and VoIP infrastructure, line-interactive provides the right balance of power quality, energy efficiency, and acquisition cost. Connected equipment sees clean pure sine wave output during voltage events, but the unit doesn't waste energy or battery life converting power continuously when utility power is acceptable.
Key Features
- Pure Sine Wave Output: Pure sine wave output reproduces the smooth waveform of utility power, which sensitive electronics — active power-factor-corrected (PFC) server power supplies in particular — require to operate without errors or premature failure.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): Automatic Voltage Regulation corrects undervoltage (brownouts) and overvoltage events without transferring to battery, conserving battery life for true outages and extending overall service life of the unit.
- APC SmartConnect Cloud Port: The SmartConnect port enables cloud-based monitoring via the APC SmartConnect portal — receive proactive email alerts for events, view UPS status remotely from any browser, and access firmware update notifications without deploying a Network Management Card.
- AP9641 Network Management Card 3 Included: Out-of-the-box SNMP v3, web/CLI, and EcoStruxure IT integration. No accessory purchase required to begin centralized management.
- LCD Diagnostic Display: A multi-line LCD shows real-time load percentage, battery runtime remaining, input/output voltage, and event history without requiring network access — useful for on-the-spot troubleshooting and pre-purchase load verification.
- User-Replaceable Battery: User-replaceable battery design lets your IT or facilities team perform battery swaps without specialized service contracts. Genuine APC replacement cartridges are stocked by Questyme.
- PowerChute Compatibility: Graceful shutdown of physical servers, hypervisor hosts, and HCI clusters through PowerChute Business Edition or PowerChute Network Shutdown.
