Features

Network manageable
Provides remote power management of the UPS over the network.
Resettable circuit breaker
Easy recovery from overloads; no need to replace a fuse. (Not available on Wall Tap SKUs)
Safety-agency approved
Ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment.
Transformer-block spaced outlets
Protect equipment with input transformer blocks without blocking access to other receptacles.
User-replaceable batteries
Increases availability by allowing a trained user to perform upgrades and replacements of the batteries, reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)

Typical Uses

Home and small office networking equipment: Keeps modems, routers, switches, VoIP gateways running during short power interruptions.
Desktop computers & peripherals: Provides enough time to safely save work and shut down a small PC or workstation.
Home entertainment & media devices: Useful for set-top boxes, small TVs, gaming consoles (within its power rating) to prevent unexpected shutdowns and data loss.
Networked storage & small servers: Can give brief backup time for NAS devices or low-power servers so they stay online long enough to shut down or complete critical tasks.
VoIP phones and communication gear: Helps ensure business phones and communication systems remain powered through brief outages.

What It’s NOT to Connect

Not a high-capacity UPS for long backup times — if you need to run loads like servers or larger systems for extended time, consider a higher VA/W UPS.
Does not typically include advanced USB/network management on many regional variants.
Capacity note: The BH500INET has around 500 VA / 300 W output, so it’s best for low-to-moderate load devices and short backup times.
