APC BACK-UPS BX950U-FR Line-Interactive UPS - 480 W / 950 VA - 4 FR outlets
Desktop UPS for a computer and its peripherals: runtime of around 7 minutes at half load. It also protects the telephone/modem line (RJ-11) against surges.
Runtime around 7 min at half load (240 W), 4 min at 70%
All the outlets battery-backed
Telephone/modem line (RJ-11) surge protection
USB port for automatic system shutdown
Status indicator lights (charge, battery, overload)
Desktop UPS to protect a computer workstation and its peripherals: line-interactive with voltage regulation and 950 VA / 480 W. Technology & protection: it takes over on battery the instant the power cuts out, absorbs surges and corrects voltage fluctuations to deliver stable power. Power: 950 VA for 480 W of usable output — a PC, a monitor and their accessories. Outlets: 4 French outlets — plug your devices straight in, no adapter needed. It also protects the telephone/modem line (RJ-11 socket) against surges travelling down the cable. Ideal, for example, for a PC, an internet box or a point of sale. Remember to check how much power your equipment draws and to choose the capacity according to the runtime you need.

Frequently asked questions about this product
Are all four outlets on the BX950U-FR battery-backed?
Yes, all four French outlets are powered by the battery: none is reserved for surge protection only. You plug your devices in directly, without an adapter.
How long does the BX950U-FR run on battery?
7 minutes at 50% load, i.e. 240 W, and 4 minutes at 70%, i.e. 336 W. That is enough to save your work and properly shut down a computer workstation and its peripherals.
Does the UPS protect the phone line and the modem?
Yes, RJ-11 protection covers the phone line and the modem against surges, in addition to the power outlets. A surge coming in through the line destroys a broadband modem just as surely as a spike on the mains.
How much power can you really put on this 950 VA unit?
480 W, which means a power factor of 0.5: only half of the rated apparent power. It is one of the widest gaps in the category — all the more reason to add up the watts before plugging in.
What does the BX950U-FR's AVR correct, and over what range?
It restores the voltage without drawing on the battery, over an input range of 150 to 280 V. The maximum input current is 4 A, with a 1.22 m cord: make sure there is a wall socket close by.
What does the UPS show during a power cut?
An illuminated display with four indicators — on-line, on battery, replace battery, overload — backed up by three distinct audible alarms: switch to battery, low battery and overload.
Can the BX950U-FR's battery be replaced?
Yes, under the reference RBC17. It is the unit's wear part: it is the battery you replace after a few years, not the UPS, and the display warns you when the time has come.
How much space does the BX950U-FR take up, and is it noisy?
130 × 215 × 336 mm and 8 kg. It stays below 45 dBA: audible in a quiet room, so it is better placed on the floor, under the desk, than next to the monitor.
Is the APC Back-UPS BX950U-FR new and under warranty?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document, for 2 years. A USB port lets you connect the UPS to the computer to trigger its automatic shutdown before the battery runs out. The datasheet covers the rest.
