APC Smart-UPS SMT1000C 1000VA LCD 120V with SmartConnect

Product Overview

The APC Smart-UPS SMT1000C is a 1000VA / 670W tower UPS with SmartConnect cloud monitoring, providing line-interactive battery backup and pure sine wave output for commercial AV and IT equipment in non-rack environments. Designed for conference rooms, training rooms, and office deployments where equipment is placed on shelves or furniture rather than in racks, the SMT1000C protects AV controllers, workstations, managed switches, and media players from power events. APC SmartConnect delivers remote UPS monitoring without on-site management software.

Product Description

The SMT1000C handles 1000VA of connected load in a compact tower chassis, appropriate for powering the combined draw of an AV controller, media player, managed switch, and display in a small conference room or training space. SmartConnect cloud integration enables AV integrators and IT managers to monitor battery status and receive outage alerts remotely — a valuable feature for facilities with distributed AV systems across multiple rooms or buildings. Automatic voltage regulation stabilizes output during brownouts and overvoltages without switching to battery, protecting equipment and preserving battery runtime for genuine outages. The front-panel LCD provides full status visibility including load percentage, estimated runtime, battery charge, and input/output voltage. Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets accommodate the full complement of AV and IT devices typical of a small commercial space. PowerChute software integration enables automated shutdown of connected equipment when the battery approaches depletion during extended outages.
