Description

The APC Back-UPS BX1600MI-MS is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to provide reliable backup power and surge protection for home and small office electronics running on 230 V mains. With 1600 VA / ~900 W capacity, it keeps your critical devices running long enough during power outages for safe shutdowns and protects them from damaging voltage fluctuations. The unit features a compact tower design with 4 universal outlets that accept various plug types, making it versatile for many devices like computers, networking equipment, CCTV systems, and entertainment electronics.
