The APC Back-UPS BE425M provides basic, trusted UPS and surge protection in a compact, wall/tower-friendly unit. Four of the six outlets supply both battery backup and surge protection, keeping computers, Wi-Fi gear, and VoIP devices up during short blackouts. The two remaining outlets provide surge-only protection, ideal for non-critical devices like printers. The 425VA/225W sealed lead-acid battery keeps vital home network hardware running (10-20+ min for laptops/modems/routers under modest loads).
A single LED at the front gives quick status, and audible alarms indicate battery operation or low battery, keeping maintenance and ready status straightforward. No USB/serial interface is provided; this model is designed for “plug-and-forget” resilience rather than advanced automation or remote management.
