Tower UPS with SmartConnect and USB Drive

The APC Smart-UPS SMT1000C is a tower-format battery backup rated at 1000 VA and 700 W. It delivers pure sine wave output on battery and includes Automatic Voltage Regulation to correct fluctuations without using battery power. SmartConnect enables remote monitoring through a secure web portal with firmware updates and automated notifications. A 16 GB USB 3.0 DataTraveler drive is bundled for portable file storage.

Suited for 120 V server and network protection

This unit protects mission-critical servers, telecom gear and internetworking hardware on 120 V circuits. The NEMA 5-15P input and eight NEMA 5-15R battery-backed outlets support standard North American plugs. Green mode maximises efficiency while intelligent battery management extends service life. Automatic self-test and audible alarms provide ongoing health awareness.

Runtime of 5.8 minutes at full load

At 700 W the UPS provides 5.8 minutes of backup time, which determines whether connected equipment can ride through short outages or shut down gracefully. Runtime extends at lower loads, but the figure at maximum capacity is the fixed reference for sizing. No additional battery modules are included in this bundle.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 700 Watt or 1000 VA rating for my load calculation?

Both figures describe the same unit; 700 Watts is the real power limit and 1000 VA is the apparent power limit, so size your connected equipment by the 700 Watt value.

What does the 5.8 minute runtime at full load mean for my servers?

At the maximum 700 Watt draw the battery will last about 5.8 minutes, giving time for graceful shutdown; lighter loads will extend that runtime.

What does the USB 3.0 interface on the included drive cap in practice?

The DataTraveler uses a USB 3.0 connection, so transfer speeds are limited by the USB 3.0 specification and the drive's own controller.
