Description

Tripp Lite's AVR550U line-interactive UPS offers complete protection for PCs, workstations and other sensitive electronics in an ultra-compact,

mountable housing. Prevents data loss and system downtime by providing battery-supported AC output during blackouts and Automatic Voltage

Regulation (AVR) during brownouts and overvoltages. 8 output receptacles, 2 of which are widely spaced to accommodate large transformer plugs

without blocking outlets. 4 outlets feature full battery support and surge suppression, protecting computers, monitors and other vital system

components from loss of power. 4 additional outlets with surge suppression only are ideal for printers and other peripherals not requiring battery

support. Single-line telephone suppression jacks protect modems, fax machines, cordless phones and other equipment with standard dialup or DSL

RJ-11 phone line connections. USB port with included cable and PowerAlert monitoring software enables safe unattended system shutdown in the

case of extended power failure. HID-compliant USB interface enables integration with built-in power management and auto shutdown features of

Windows and Mac OS X. Audible alarm and front panel LEDs offer status information regarding line and battery power operation. 550VA/300 watt

power handling ability supports entry-level PCs for up to 17 minutes during power failures. 2-year warranty. $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance
