Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V 500VA 300W Line-Interactive UPS

Protect your essential devices with the Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V 500VA 300W Line-Interactive UPS. This compact, 1U solution is built to guard PCs, networks, security systems, and digital signage from power disruptions, voltage sags, and surges. With automatic voltage regulation, a robust 500 VA/300 W capacity, and flexible management options, it helps you maintain uptime, protect data, and extend equipment life in small offices, data closets, or retail environments where reliable power matters most.

• Reliable power backup for essential equipment: The SmartPro delivers 500 VA / 300 W of backup capacity, providing immediate battery support for a workstation, small server, router, switches, POS terminals, security components, and other mission-critical devices during outages. This capacity helps you save open work, gracefully shut down systems, and minimize data loss when the grid goes down.
• Line-Interactive topology with AVR: This UPS uses a line-interactive design that continually stabilizes voltage through Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR). AVR corrects minor fluctuations without exhausting the battery, reducing wear on devices and extending runtime for longer outages while delivering clean, steady power to protect sensitive electronics.
• Six outlets with comprehensive protection: All six NEMA 5-15R outlets provide both battery-backed backup power and surge protection. You can consolidate critical devices—such as a computer, monitor, modem/router, and security equipment—in one protected bundle, ensuring essential services stay online during transient events and power surges.
• Flexible management interfaces: Stay in control with USB connectivity for local shutdowns, a DB9 serial port for legacy management, and a WEBCARDLX network management card for remote monitoring and safe shutdown across a network. This versatility makes it suitable for home offices, small businesses, and IT closets where centralized power management is valuable.
• Space-saving 1U rack-mount design: The slim, 1U form factor fits neatly into standard equipment racks or small server cabinets. Its compact footprint keeps the workspace organized, improves airflow, and enables clean cable management, making it an ideal upgrade for growing networks, digital signage deployments, and SMB IT environments.
