Tower UPS for desktop and networking gear

The Eaton 5SC1000 is a line-interactive tower UPS rated at 1000 VA and 700 watts with a 120 V output. It accepts an input range of 96 to 144 Vac at 50 or 60 Hz through a NEMA 5-15P plug. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets provide battery-backed and surge-only connections for a workstation, monitor, router and modem.

Step up from basic surge strips when outages last

A simple power strip cannot keep a PC running during a blackout; this unit supplies battery runtime so you can save work and shut down cleanly. The jump is worth it when a brief utility interruption would otherwise lose unsaved data or corrupt a local database. RS-232 and USB ports with included cables enable automated shutdown via Eaton Intelligent Power Manager software.

700 watts handles a typical desktop plus peripherals

At full 700 W load the battery provides only a few minutes of runtime, enough for an orderly shutdown but not extended operation. Light loads such as a router and NAS will run considerably longer. The unit weighs 25.60 lbs and measures 8.20 by 5.90 by 13.40 inches, so confirm shelf or floor space before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 8.20" tall tower need on a shelf or rack?

The unit measures 8.20" high, 5.90" wide and 13.40" deep, so allow at least those dimensions plus a few inches of airflow space around the vents.

Which cable do I plug in first — the USB cable or the serial cable — when setting up the management software?

Connect the USB cable to the PC, install the Intelligent Power Manager software from the CD, then attach the serial cable only if your environment requires RS-232 monitoring.

How often should the internal battery be replaced under normal office use?

Expect a three-to-five-year service life; the UPS will sound an alarm and flash the battery indicator when a replacement is due.
