Ideal for desktop and home-office protection

This 500 VA, 300 W UPS delivers battery backup and surge protection for computers, monitors and networking gear on 120 V mains. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets provide four battery-backed sockets and four surge-only sockets, with two widely spaced for transformer blocks. A 316 joule surge rating and RJ45/11 data-line protection guard connected equipment.

Suits users who need short runtime for safe shutdown

The unit provides three minutes at full load and nine minutes at half load, enough to save work and power down gracefully. It is not for buyers who need extended runtime for servers or networking gear, nor for installations that demand higher wattage capacity or a different input voltage. Energy Star certification confirms efficient operation.

VRLA battery defines the runtime envelope

Valve Regulated Lead Acid chemistry supplies the stated three-minute full-load and nine-minute half-load runtimes. Battery life and replacement intervals follow typical VRLA characteristics, so plan maintenance accordingly. USB communication with free software enables automated notifications and controlled shutdown.

Questions about this item

Does the 316-joule surge protector and VRLA battery make the unit noisy or hot during all-day operation?

The UPS uses a valve-regulated lead-acid battery and has no fan listed, so it runs silently and produces minimal heat under normal load.

What cable or connection must I already have to plug this 120 V UPS into the wall?

You need a standard NEMA 5-15P wall receptacle; the unit ships with an attached 5-15P input plug.

Will my older router with an RJ11 phone jack still get surge protection from the data-line ports?

Yes, the rear panel includes RJ45/11 surge ports that protect both Ethernet and legacy phone lines.
