APC’s New Back-UPS Pro Models Announced – Zero Power Draw Plugs
APC today introduced the Back-UPS Pro models, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system designed to protect home offices and businesses from experiencing the inconvenience and expense caused by power outages. The Back-UPS Pro models feature the same power-saving outlets seen in APC’s smaller Back-UPS models, which automatically shut off power to unused peripherals, saving the user money contributed to unnecessary power draw. Additionally, the Back-UPS Pro models feature an LCD panel to provide utility indication and have automatic voltage regulation (AVR) bypass capabilities to save energy and extend battery life. Available in North America in Q2 2010, the APC Back-UPS Pro products carry an estimated retail price of $129.99 to $249.99.
APC Back-UPS Pro come in a variety of models, offering from six to ten outlets and runtime from 92 to 164 minutes. Power-saving outlets are offered on all models to decrease energy usage of connected devices. This feature saves energy and money by cutting power to unused components and can save as much as $50 per year per UPS. Non data-sensitive peripherals, like monitors, printers, and speakers, are connected to the controlled outlets, which automatically shut off whenever the computer, connected to a master outlet, is turned off or goes into hibernation or sleep mode.
