Smart backup power from APC by Schneider Electric
When the power goes out, your gear shouldn’t. That’s exactly why APC UPS systems are such a solid choice — they’re built to keep your tech protected and running smoothly when things go dark.
Whether you’re working from home, running a small business, or managing an entire server room, APC by Schneider Electric has your back. At PrimeBuy, we offer a full lineup of APC gear: from uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) like the popular APC Smart UPS 1500 and Back UPS 1500, to rackmount models and power distribution units (PDUs).
Let’s break down what makes APC gear worth it — and how to pick the one that fits your needs.
Why APC UPS systems are a go-to for so many

How to choose the right APC UPS
Not sure which unit you need? Start by asking:
- How much power do your devices use? Add up the wattage to figure out the right UPS size.
- How long do you need backup power? Some users just need a few minutes — others need to keep things going much longer.
- Where will you place it? Tower units are good for desktops; rackmounts are better for server environments.
- Want remote access? Look for models with LCD screens or network cards for easier monitoring.
