APC SMX1000CNC

Overview

The APC SMX1000CNC is a Smart-UPS X 1000VA uninterruptible power supply designed to protect critical equipment from power interruptions and voltage fluctuations. Delivering 1000VA and 900W capacity with pure sine wave output at 120 volts, it supports servers, networking devices, and sensitive electronics. Its flexible design fits into a standard two-unit rack space or can stand as a tower, making it suitable for server rooms, network closets, retail counters, and home labs where space is limited.

This UPS features eight NEMA 5-15R outlets that provide battery backup and surge protection, ensuring connected devices remain operational during outages. The built-in Network Management Card and SmartConnect Ethernet port allow remote monitoring, alerts, and safe shutdowns via cloud-based APC EcoStruxure IT software. Automatic voltage regulation helps maintain stable power without draining the battery during minor voltage changes, extending battery life.

Connectivity and compatibility

This UPS integrates seamlessly into networked environments with its pre-installed Network Management Card and SmartConnect port, allowing administrators to monitor power status and receive alerts remotely. It supports safe shutdowns of connected equipment through network commands, reducing the risk of data loss during outages. The eight NEMA 5-15R outlets accommodate a variety of standard office and IT equipment, including servers, switches, and point-of-sale terminals.

Performance and reliability

The line interactive design with automatic voltage regulation stabilizes incoming power by correcting voltage dips and surges without engaging the battery unnecessarily. This approach extends battery life and ensures continuous operation during minor power fluctuations. The pure sine wave output is critical for devices with active power factor correction, preventing damage and maintaining optimal performance. External battery pack compatibility allows for scalable runtime, making it a dependable choice for environments where uptime is essential.

Ideal uses and environments

This UPS is well suited to small business networks, remote edge locations, and IT closets where space is at a premium but reliable power protection is critical. It fits well in server rooms, retail counters, and home labs that require clean and stable power for sensitive electronics. The combination of flexible installation options, remote management capabilities, and energy efficiency makes it a strong choice for IT professionals managing critical infrastructure with limited physical space.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
