We have 10 Tripp Lite Battery Backup Units in two locations. Greenville and Simpsonville. We rely on these units to allow us to properly shut down equipment when the power abruptly goes out. These units keep us from losing vital studies on our ultrasound equipment. We also use Tripp Lite for our switches and servers. We thank you for this product. I would recommend this to anyone for their network environment.

Verified Purchase:No
This is the second of two units I purchased. The unit runs as advertised. There are several advantages to this unit versus the competitor (cough-APC-cough) whihc bought out by a French company that only maintains the existing product lines of everything they grab (Don't EVEN get me started on Pelco). First is the size. Because I deploy these units in remote cabinets, there is a size of how big (long specifically) a unit will fit. With the short depth of this unit, it fits in great. The competitor's unit is like 6" longer, and useless. You would think the competitor would realize this, since it is their IDF frame/box I am using, but they don't make a UPS to fit inside of it. Second is the Network Management card. I like notifications when a cabinet goes off grid onto battery backup. While both Tripplite and the competitor offers the SNMP card, you get more features with this unit. A lot more customizable. Third, the LCD screen readout is, well, readable. Unless the competitor has resolved there issue recently, the Tripplite unit has a nice, BRIGHT, LCD readout. It gives more information as well. It cycles through Power consumption, Run time remaining, etc. The competitor's LCD screen is about useless when attempting to read. Finally, the unit comes with rails for four(4) post cabinets (see note below about two post solution). The competitor's unit does not. TWO POST Solution. The unit (being so compact) is quite heavy. If you do plan on using this in a telecom cabinet, order the two-post support kit 2POSTRMKITWM, makes all the difference. The standard rails, while good for a big cabinet, will not work for telecom cabinets.
