The APC Back-UPS Connect 12V 36W is a compact lithium-ion mini UPS designed to keep essential network and connected devices operating during power interruptions.
Unlike a conventional AC UPS designed primarily for computers and office equipment, the APC Back-UPS Connect is specifically designed for 12V DC networking applications, making it suitable for compatible internet routers, modems, IP cameras and other low-power networking equipment.
The CP12036LI provides 12V DC input and output and has a maximum configurable power rating of 36W. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for installation in locations where space is limited.
For homes, offices, businesses and security installations that depend on continuous internet connectivity, a mini DC UPS can help prevent interruptions caused by short power outages.
Keep Your Internet Router Online During Power Outages
Internet connectivity has become essential for homes and businesses.
A power interruption can switch off a router or modem even when the internet service itself is still available. This can result in lost connectivity, interrupted work, dropped online meetings, unavailable cloud applications and disconnected security systems.
The APC Back-UPS Connect 12V 36W provides battery backup for compatible 12V DC equipment, helping keep your network connected when mains power is interrupted.
APC states that the unit can provide up to 4 hours of runtime for an average router, although actual runtime depends on the power consumption of the connected equipment.
Mini UPS for WiFi Routers and Modems
The APC Back-UPS Connect is particularly useful for internet routers and modems that operate from 12V DC power.
It is suitable for applications such as:
- WiFi routers
- Internet modems
- Fibre routers
- Network equipment
- Compatible IP cameras
- Smart home devices
- Other compatible 12V DC equipment
The device provides 12V DC input and output, so it should only be connected to equipment that is compatible with its voltage and power specifications.
