CyberPowerOR700LCDRM1U Smart App LCD UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, 700VA/400W, 6 Outlets, AVR, 1U Rackmount, UL Certified

TL;DR - This product works as expected and protects my home network from downtime due to home power loss. Power Strips are good for situations where you have WHOLE HOME battery backup. This option works for those who need just a few items in a rack.When I made the decision to purchase a rack for my gear I picked up originally a rack mounted power strip, as I had a few battery back-up units I figure I could just plug the strip into one of them and have my rack covered for the occasional power interruption that occurs. Well the dreaded blip in power came and all of my gear turned off and I scratched my head. First I figured it was a bad battery but I let it charge for a day and checked and it said I had over 100 minutes. I pulled the power and poof the rack turned off. After about 30 minutes of online research I quickly discovered that battery backup's require each item plugged in and no use of power strips before power nor attached to the rear.Armed with my new information I searched for a low cost rack mounted option with a weight requirement. This item showed up and has worked like a champ for me. I charged it for 16 hours prior to mounting into my rack. I then plugged in my gear and turned it on. All fired up as expected. I waited for all of the gear to normalize from being powered off and then I pulled the cord out of the wall and the gear in the SURGE port turned off as expected but my gear in the BATTERY ports all stayed up and the battery told me I had 65 minutes of life, I believe as that was a few weeks ago. I plugged it back in tested this scenario again 24 hours later and it worked as designed and expected.Lesson learned, do some research before making purchase decisions because mistakes can show you how foolish a idea of an idea you have. :)

Amazing choice from a homelab perspective. I have TrueNas running on an old Z270 setup that's plugged into this UPS. Cyberpower has native .deb packages that get linux systems talking over the included USB cable. I've got this UPS gracefully shutting down my NAS during power outages and doing weekly self tests. Couldn't be happier. Also had a weird burning smell on the first outage event, seems to have been a 1-off event though, as it's worked great for about a year now.root@nas1-z270[~]# pwrstat -statusThe UPS information shows as following:Properties:Model Name...................

My wife and I work 100% remote. I have 2 internet connections and a whole- house backup generator. The problem is that when I lose power it takes 15 seconds for the generator to kick on. During that time I lose all connections to my server, faceless clients and networking equipment while they reboot. This UPS is small and fits in my single rack unit nicely.Estimated remaining time 36 minutes.Devices:(3) Intel NUC computers(1) 24" monitor(1) network switch(1) POE adapter(2) internet gateways(modems)I highly recommend this for any home office that has anxiety about losing power.

I have a lot of CyberPower UPS units in multiple sizes. I think cause this is rackmount I made an assumption it would handle more than it says. Pushed it close to the limit and endured the evil warning beep. It's nicely made, but if you're going to rely on it for anywhere close to the load limit, don't. Get something bigger. I love CyberPower. I returned this, and got another CyberPower.

Great compact unit. Fits perfectly in rack and doesn't take up a great amount of space.

I purchased this 700V400W unit on March 9, 2016 and it’s been running ever since until today when the alarm went off and seems like the original OEM HR9-6 batteries (2) need to be replaced.. after 8 years! I’d honestly forgotten about this UPS. It powers a custom pfSense firewall I built in 2014 using a Supermicro CSE-510T-200B chassis, a Supermicro A1SRI-2758F C2758 mainboard with integrated 8-core cpu, 2x 8GB Kingston KVR16LSE11/8 Ram modules and 2x Intel S3500 120GB SSD drives mirrored. In addition 2x Netgear XS708E 8-Port 10GbE switches were also plugged in for the past 8 years. Everything has run 24/7/365 since.Couldn’t be happier with a small UPS and will be ordering a couple of new replacement 6V 7AH batteries today to put back in action.Edit: ordered two Interstate 6V 9AH batteries to replace the originals. Installed tonight and they are perfect replacements.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QDC59JG
