Schneider Electric Launches World's First Uninterruptible Power Supply Designed from the Start with Gamers in Mind -- the APC Back-UPStm Pro Gaming UPS
ANDOVER, Mass., Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today launches the APC Back-UPStm Pro Gaming UPS. This stylish and state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is designed to protect gaming gear and maintain connection through power irregularities ? keeping PC and console gamers in the game. As the first UPS specifically designed with gamers in mind, the APC Back-UPStm Pro Gaming UPS delivers uninterrupted power protection, even during power outages.
As gamers invest more in their equipment and spend more time winning games, protecting both is critical. The APC Back-UPStm Pro Gaming UPS features sine wave battery backup power, delivering the smooth electrical current required by sensitive electronics and AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) to help protect against power irregularities and resulting glitches during an outage, while helping to extend the lifespan of gaming equipment. The APC Back-UPStm Pro Gaming UPS also boasts a patented reactor circle which provides status of remaining power, surges, dips, power outages and building wiring faults visible from every angle.
Schneider Electric is also a D&H Certified Esports Provider, meaning that esports enthusiasts and pros alike can play with peace of mind, knowing their reputation won't be tarnished over something outside of their control. Adding the APC Back-UPStm Pro Gaming UPS to their setup allows both professional and recreational gamers to be confident that they will remain:
- Protected: A gaming battery backup protects valuable gaming systems from more than seven different types of power interruptions
- Connected: After shutting down a game, the system continues to provide power to a router and/or modem
- In the Game: If the power is interrupted or lost during play, backup power allows gamers to finish a match and reap the rewards that would have otherwise been lost
"Power irregularities are not just limited to storms. Gaming gear is highly sensitive electronics and unclean power can cause game disruption or damage equipment. At the end of the day ? it's not if, it's when," said Christian Enriquez, Global Product Marketing Manager, Schneider Electric. "Winning your match is about teamwork and a quality of a great team member is reliability. APC Back-UPS Pro gaming helps you stay in the game and being there for your team when they need you most."
APC Back-UPStm Pro Gaming UPS Key Features:
- Reactor Circle: When the Gaming UPS is on battery backup power, the reactor circle ticks down to show how much time is left at a glance
- 160 Degree Slant: APC made sure the reactor circle is titled at 160 degrees, so it's visible from nearly every angle
- Functional Lighting: When the Gaming UPS detects a power anomaly ? like surges, dips, and even wiring faults ? it notifies gamers with pulsing lights
