Ideal UPS for entry servers and desktop workstations
The APC SMC1500C is a 1440VA 900W line-interactive pure sine wave tower UPS designed for entry-level servers, networks, retail POS systems, business VOIP setups and desktop computers. It provides battery backup and surge protection for wireless networks, computers and other small electronics in residential or commercial settings. The package includes a 16GB USB 3.0 drive.
AVR stabilises voltage while cloud monitoring
Automatic Voltage Regulation keeps output voltage within user-selectable levels to protect connected devices from fluctuations. A SmartConnect Ethernet port enables cloud-based remote power monitoring, firmware upgrades, remote diagnostics and proactive email notifications. The tower form factor measures 8.62 in high, 6.73 in wide and 17.28 in deep, weighing 44.31 lb.
Replaces basic surge strips for critical uptime
This UPS upgrades from simple surge protection by adding battery runtime and graceful shutdown via PowerChute Serial Shutdown software over USB or serial connections. It suits buyers who need continuous power for servers, networking gear or VOIP systems during outages. It is not for installations requiring higher VA capacity or rackmount form factors.

Questions about this item
How is the UPS connected to the network for remote monitoring, and what step is often missed?
Plug an Ethernet cable into the SmartConnect port on the rear panel and register the device in the APC cloud portal; the step often missed is completing the portal registration after the physical connection.
Which user-replaceable part will need service first, and what is its typical cycle?
The internal sealed lead-acid battery cartridge is user-replaceable and typically lasts three to five years depending on discharge frequency and ambient temperature.
What load limit triggers the first protection event during sustained use?
Drawing more than 900 W or 1440 VA continuously activates the overload alarm and, if sustained, causes the UPS to transfer to battery or shut down output.
