Features APC Back-UPS BX950UI

Battery Backup: The UPS provides dependable battery backup power during electricity outages, allowing connected devices such as computers, routers, and other electronics to continue running long enough for users to save their work and perform a safe shutdown, thereby preventing data loss and hardware damage.
Surge Protection: It protects connected equipment against power surges, spikes, and transient voltage fluctuations caused by lightning strikes or unstable utility power, helping to safeguard sensitive electronic components and extend their operational lifespan.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): The built-in AVR technology automatically stabilizes low and high voltage conditions without switching to battery mode, ensuring consistent output voltage while conserving battery power for actual outages.
Six IEC C13 Outlets: The unit is equipped with six IEC C13 output sockets, all of which provide both battery backup and surge protection, enabling multiple devices to be connected and protected simultaneously.
USB Communication Port: The integrated USB port allows the UPS to connect to a computer for real-time power monitoring and enables automatic system shutdown through compatible power management software during extended power interruptions.
Dataline Surge Protection: The RJ-11 dataline protection feature safeguards telephone and modem lines from electrical surges that could otherwise damage communication devices.
Automatic Self-Test: The UPS performs periodic automatic battery self-tests to ensure the battery is functioning properly and ready to supply backup power when required.
Audible Alarms: Built-in audible alarms provide clear notifications for events such as low battery, overload conditions, and power failures, enabling users to respond promptly to issues.
LED Status Indicators: The LED indicators on the front panel display the operational status of the UPS, making it easy for users to quickly understand whether the unit is operating normally, on battery power, or experiencing a fault.
Maintenance-Free Sealed Battery: The sealed lead-acid battery is maintenance-free and designed for reliable long-term performance, with straightforward replacement when the battery reaches the end of its service life.

The applications of the APC Back-UPS BX950UI

Desktop Computers: It provides backup power for desktop PCs, monitors, and peripherals, allowing users to save work and safely shut down during unexpected power outages.
