Tripp Lite 550VA UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector for Home & Office

The Tripp Lite INTERNET550U standby UPS offers comprehensive protection for PCs, workstations, and other sensitive electronics in an attractive, ultra-compact, and mountable housing. It prevents data loss and system downtime by providing battery-supported AC output during brownouts and blackouts. The device features 8 output receptacles, two of which are widely-spaced to accommodate large transformer plugs without blocking other outlets. 4 outlets offer full battery support and surge suppression to protect computers, monitors, and other vital system components from power loss, while 4 additional outlets with surge suppression-only are ideal for printers and other accessories not requiring battery backup.

The UPS also provides single-line telephone suppression jacks to protect modems, fax machines, cordless phones, or other peripherals with standard dial-up or DSL phone line connections. The USB with PowerAlert monitoring software (available via web download) and cabling enables safe, unattended system shutdown in the event of an extended power failure. The HID-compliant USB also allows integration with the built-in power management and auto-shutdown features of Windows and Mac OS X. Audible alarms and front panel LEDs offer status information on line and battery power operation.

With a 550VA/300-watt power handling capability, the UPS can support an entry-level PC with a small monitor consuming up to 100 watts for up to 10 minutes during power failures. The product is covered by a $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance (U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico only).

The Tripp Lite INTERNET550U is a versatile BASIC HOME UPS BATTERY BACKUP that protects against blackouts, brownouts, and surges, providing 16 minutes of power to an energy-efficient desktop PC and small monitor. It features PWM sine wave output in battery mode and offers 10 outlets, with 5 providing both UPS battery backup and surge protection, and 5 offering surge protection only. The device's surge spike protection has a rating of 316 joules.

For HOME & OFFICE use, the UPS features a 5-foot power cord and bottom keyhole mounting tabs for wall-mount installation. It boasts high efficiency ratings of over 98%, saving electricity and lowering energy costs, while also providing EMI and RFI suppression to protect against line noise that can damage technology. The user-replaceable batteries (Tripp Lite RBC36H model, sold separately) allow extending the life of the UPS if the original batteries become depleted.

The SAFE SHUTDOWN & FILE SAVING capabilities are enabled by the included USB port and cable, which connect to a computer running the free PowerAlert software. This allows for safe, unattended file saves and system shutdown during prolonged power failures. The PowerAlert software is available for download on the Tripp Lite website.
