APC Back-UPS 1050VA 8 schuko outlets

The APC Back-UPS 1050VA backup power supply functions as an off-line UPS with surge protection for home and office electronics. It provides an apparent power of 1050VA and a real power of 600W, which is enough to power standard computer setups, gaming consoles or network components. Thanks to its off-line topology, the unit achieves a high efficiency of 99.1% during standard mains operation. In the event of a power failure, it supplies connected devices with power for up to 1.49 minutes at full load, while at half load, this time extends to 7.21 minutes. Its compact dimensions and low weight make it easy to install on the floor or on the wall. The front LED panel provides an overview of the current status, visually indicating mains operation, battery power, battery replacement needed, or overload. The unit's operating noise level does not exceed 45dBA, which is equivalent to a quiet office environment and will not disturb you while you work.

Topology and performance

The off-line topology used in the APC Back-UPS 1050VA backup power supply means that in normal mode, it powers devices directly from the mains, contributing to high energy efficiency. If a power outage or voltage instability is detected, the unit automatically switches to battery operation. The transition is fast enough to keep sensitive electronics running. The real power of 600W meets the needs of standard office workstations, network attached storage (NAS), or home multimedia centres. An operating temperature range of 0–40°C confirms its reliability in various conditions.

Protection and battery

An integrated circuit with a surge rating of 310J protects connected appliances from damage by absorbing power spikes in the network. The APC Back-UPS 1050VA backup power supply's audible alarms alert you to key status changes, such as switching to battery power, low battery capacity, or output overload. Inside, there is a user-replaceable lead-acid battery, which extends the life of the entire unit without the need for servicing. This feature reduces total running costs.

Connectivity and sockets

The APC backup power supply offers a total of eight type E (Schuko) output sockets. Six sockets provide full protection, meaning both battery backup and surge protection, and are intended for critical devices such as a computer, monitor, or router that must remain operational during a power outage. The remaining two sockets serve only as surge protectors, suitable for connecting supplementary devices like printers or speakers that do not require battery backup. You can use the device in countries with type E sockets. For charging personal devices such as mobile phones or tablets, there are two USB ports available – one type A and one type C. The ports remain functional even during battery operation.
