APC 1500VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD Rack Mount 2U with SmartConnect (SMC1500I-2UC)

APC 1500VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD Rack Mount 2U with SmartConnect (SMC1500I-2UC)

The APC 1500VA 230V Smart-UPS C LCD Rack Mount 2U with SmartConnect (SMC1500I-2UC) combines rackmount convenience with cloud-enabled monitoring in a space-efficient 2U form factor. This 1500VA/900W unit protects rack-mounted servers and networking equipment while maintaining a minimal vertical footprint. Moreover, the integrated SmartConnect feature delivers continuous system insights through an intuitive web-based management portal without additional hardware investments.

Automatic voltage regulation technology handles fluctuating input power without engaging battery backup unnecessarily. The SMC1500I-2UC corrects voltage variations through its electronic boost and buck circuitry to maintain consistent output levels. Therefore, battery charge remains preserved for actual power failures rather than being consumed during routine voltage corrections. This selective battery operation extends service intervals and reduces long-term operating expenses.

SmartConnect cloud monitoring provides unprecedented visibility into UPS operations from any location with internet access. The SMC1500I-2UC transmits real-time status updates, historical performance data, and predictive maintenance alerts to a centralized dashboard. IT teams can therefore manage multiple installations across different facilities without deploying on-premises monitoring infrastructure. The platform automatically schedules firmware updates and tracks warranty information to streamline administrative tasks.
