APC 1000VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD with SmartConnect (SMC1000IC)

The APC 1000VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD with SmartConnect (SMC1000IC) combines reliable power protection with cloud-based monitoring through its integrated SmartConnect technology. This 1000VA/600W unit provides essential backup power for small business servers and networking equipment. Moreover, the SmartConnect feature eliminates the need for additional software installation by communicating system status directly to a secure cloud portal.

Line-interactive topology delivers efficient power conditioning while minimizing energy consumption and operational costs. The SMC1000IC automatically compensates for voltage fluctuations through its internal voltage regulation circuitry. Thus, connected equipment receives stable power during brownouts and overvoltage situations without draining battery reserves. The unit switches to battery operation only when input power falls outside acceptable parameters or fails completely.

Remote monitoring capabilities through SmartConnect transform traditional UPS management by providing anywhere access to system information. The SMC1000IC transmits operational data, alert notifications, and diagnostic information to the cloud platform continuously. Administrators can therefore monitor power conditions, review event logs, and receive proactive maintenance reminders from any internet-connected device. This visibility proves particularly valuable for distributed IT environments or locations without dedicated on-site technical staff.
