Detailed Specifications
APC SMC1000C 1000 VA Smart UPS C Tower UPS
Overview :
The APC Smart-UPS C 1000VA LCD Tower is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) providing basic power protection and controlled shutdown capability for critical IT loads. It is typically deployed by IT engineers, network technicians, and facilities teams to protect servers, networking gear, and edge hardware from mains instability, outages, and brownouts. Verified specifications support power continuity for distributed IT and small business infrastructure.
This UPS delivers 1000 VA / 600 W capacity with a sine waveform output at nominal 120 V AC and includes eight battery-backed NEMA 5-15R outlets. Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects common undervoltage and overvoltage conditions without switching to battery. Protection is supplemented by a 680 joule surge rating and an RJ45 data line protection interface. Communication ports include USB and serial for graceful shutdown via PowerChute or similar utilities.
The tower form factor with built-in SmartConnect networking is suited for rack shelves in small server rooms, IDF/MDF closets, branch office cabinets, and retail PoS environments. The unit operates on line power until mains fail, then switches to battery in approximately 6-10 ms. Users monitor status via the front LCD and remote SmartConnect portal.
In practice, this model protects critical network devices and entry-level servers from brief power disturbances, enabling orderly OS-level shutdowns or bridging to generator start. It is not intended for 230 V systems or long-duration runtime without external battery support. Units without SmartConnect support may lack cloud-enabled monitoring features.
