Review: Great UPS, it does support apcupsd and NUT!! - No issues. Nice and quite. Has worked with every power failure without flaw. Nice long battery life at 30-35% load I put on it. I noticed a few reviews talking about you can't use NUT or apcupsd with it and having to use the network cloud service. Not true. I don't have mine connected to the internet and instead use the USB port to connect to my server that monitors it with apcupsd. I can send this data to influxdb via telegraf, as well as configuring apcupsd to shutdown when battery % reaches a certain point. You do have to read the manual though, there's a part that tells you how to go into the settings and turn on all the details. If you don't do this, you won't see load %. Same is true for NUT if you prefer to use that. I have two of these so far. One for network equipment, and one for TrueNAS server. Keeping load at 350≤ watts gives a nice long runtime in the event of power failure. The TrippLite UPS I had a very poor runtime. I tried to save money thinking it would be fine for my network equipment. Ended up getting another SMC1500-2UC, and using the TrippLite as battery backup for my 30W computer. The battery are heavy. Install after you rack mount it. I ended up buying rails for mine because I didn't like how it sagged with just a connection to 2-posts in my rack. Helps to read the manual about the apcupsd stuff. I also set mine to keep the screen on all the time. Not super user friendly. But UPS devices never really are in my experience.
Review: An industry standard - This APC UPS is a solid choice for keeping your critical equipment running smoothly. It provides reliable power protection during outages and handles minor voltage fluctuations seamlessly. The software is easy to use and gives you good control and monitoring options. While it's not the cheapest option, the peace of mind it provides is worth the investment, especially if you rely on your electronics for work or entertainment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ APC quickly fixed snafu - unit cam with incorrect mounting hardware
*by T***E on August 20, 2020*

TLDR: It's properly installed and happily running my gear. This is an edited review because I received the unit with two right side mounting brackets. I called APC, sent them some pictures, and they promptly sent me some new mounting hardware. The customer service was fast, professional, and effective. Sure, I wish I hadn't needed customer service, but they made it as painless as possible. As for the unit itself, I can't say that it has been put to the test except for a few minutes while I moved the rack from one room to another. No problems and it did what it was supposed to do. I'm pretty happy with it. The unit is currently not hooked to the network. I'll do that eventually, but only after setting up a subnet that isolates the unit from the rest of the network. No need to risk any weirdness that may try creeping in via the UPS. I hear it requires an open port, which is no bueno. Luckily, my firewall and managed switches can handle that easily. I'm not sure if I'd connect it to my network if I couldn't isolate it and safely route that open port.
