APC Smart-UPS X, Line Interactive, 1500VA, Rack/tower convertible 2U, 120V, 8x 5-15R NEMA, SmartConnect port, Extended runtime, TAA

The APC SMX1500RM2UCUS is a line interactive uninterruptible power supply that keeps essential equipment online when the lights go out or voltage fluctuates. It delivers 1440VA of pure sine wave power at 120 volts, making it a dependable choice for servers, switches, storage arrays, and other sensitive electronics that cannot afford downtime.

Its chassis fits neatly into a standard rack and occupies only 2U of space, yet it can also stand upright as a tower on a desk or in a network closet. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets give you ample room to connect critical devices in a small business server room, a retail point-of-sale counter, or an edge-computing cabinet. If you need longer backup time for graceful shutdowns or extended operation, you can attach external battery packs without replacing the main unit.

Day-to-day management is straightforward. The built-in SmartConnect port links the UPS to APC’s cloud portal, where you can review runtime, receive proactive alerts, and install firmware updates from any browser. For teams that need deeper integration with existing monitoring platforms, the SmartSlot accepts an optional network management card.

Field maintenance is just as simple. Hot swappable batteries let you replace a worn pack without powering down connected gear. Three individually switchable outlet groups allow staged shutdowns or reboots to conserve energy or troubleshoot a frozen server remotely. An Emergency Power Off connector ties the unit into building safety systems so staff can cut power instantly during an incident.

The UPS meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, so it is suitable for United States government projects and other environments that demand TAA compliance. Altogether, it provides the steady electricity, flexible installation, and remote visibility that IT managers and facility teams rely on for peace of mind.
