Compact 19-inch UPS for NAS, video surveillance & serversUSV

Small in size, big in effect - the compact CyberPower UPS for reliable protection of your IT. When space is tight in the technology room, the protection must not get any smaller.

With the ultra-compact CyberPower Advanced PFC Sinewave Rackmount UPS series, your NAS, cameras and servers are always safe - without any space problems. In this article, you will find out which models in the new UPS series are ideal for which areas of application - and exactly what the differences are.

Which UPS for NAS, video surveillance or server rooms?

Power failures know no time - and no pity. If you have NAS systems, servers or surveillance technology in use, you know that a short outage is enough to lose data or stop entire processes. A reliable emergency power supply is indispensable, especially in small to medium-sized IT environments.

However, a good UPS should also be suitable for use in confined IT cabinets. And this is exactly where the CyberPower Advanced PFC Sinewave Rackmount UPS series comes in - with a compact design, genuine sinewave and modern business features. Standard devices often fail due to excessive depth or a lack of features.

Buy a compact 19-inch UPS - with business features

Whether in the IT department of a medium-sized company, in a home office or in the technical room of a commercial property - more and more technical systems need to be operated reliably in a limited space. The limits of conventional UPS systems are quickly reached, especially where several devices are located close together. These are often too deep, too large or offer only rudimentary protection. The solution: A UPS that combines business technology in a small space. The following image shows the PFC Sinewave UPS with its compact installation depth in the rack.

PFC-Sinewave short installation depth rack

With an installation depth of just 274 mm, the new series is currently one of the most compact in its class - and fits where other models do not. Thanks to its standard 19-inch design (2U), it can be easily integrated into network cabinets - even in particularly flat wall-mounted distributors or smaller IT racks. These are the CP1200EIPFCRM2U, CP1600EIPFCRM2U and CP2000EIPFCRM2U models.

NAS, camera, server - different UPS requirements

The requirements for a UPS system vary significantly depending on the area of application:

  • NAS systems (e.g. Synology, QNAP):
    These compact data storage devices primarily require a stable and clean power supply with a pure sine wave to prevent data loss and file system errors in the event of sudden power failures. At the same time, the UPS's own consumption should remain low so that operation remains efficient.
  • Video surveillance systems with PoE switches and NVRs:
    Not only is a higher power capacity required here to protect several devices simultaneously - integrated surge protection for data lines is also important so that sensitive cameras and network devices are protected from lightning strikes or voltage peaks.
  • Virtualised server environments (e.g. with ESXi, Hyper-V):
    These systems require a UPS with Smart Slot or network management so that an automated, orderly shutdown of the virtual machines can take place in the event of a power failure. Compatible management software for different platforms (Windows, Linux, VMware) is also essential here.

Suitable UPS models for different applications

We recommend suitable UPS systems from CyberPower for the following areas of application:

NAS systems (e.g. Synology, QNAP), home office and small offices

➡️ Model recommendation: CP1200EIPFCRM2U
This UPS delivers a pure sine wave, which is essential for modern Active PFC power supplies. Thanks to the HID-compatible USB connection, it can be integrated directly without additional software. Its low power consumption, compact design and simple setup make it the ideal solution for home users and small businesses.

Video surveillance, PoE networks, retail and public institutions

➡️ Model recommendation: CP1600EIPFCRM2U
This UPS not only offers solid capacity and high performance, but also integrated surge protection for data lines - an important advantage during thunderstorms or unstable power grids. Perfect for individual locations, shops or commercial properties.

Server rooms, virtualisation hosts (ESXi, Hyper-V), industry and data centres

➡️ Model recommendation: CP2000EIPFCRM2U
This UPS not only provides the necessary power for multiple hosts, but also has a smart slot for network management cards. In combination with the licence-free shutdown software, virtual machines and operating systems can be shut down automatically and in an orderly manner in the event of a power failure. Ideal for small to medium-sized data centres or technology rooms.
