APC Smart-UPS C 1000VA/600W Line Interactive Tower UPS | SMC1000IC
The APC Smart-UPS C 1000VA (SMC1000IC) is a 600W line-interactive tower UPS that delivers pure sine wave battery power to entry-level servers, networks, retail POS, business VoIP and desktops. Automatic Voltage Regulation, 8 IEC C13 outlets and SmartConnect cloud monitoring keep critical equipment running through outages and voltage problems.
Key features
- Pure sine wave, line-interactive design: 1000VA/600W output with less than 5% harmonic distortion and a 6 ms typical transfer time, suited to sensitive electronics.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): keeps output voltage within acceptable, user-selectable levels.
- SmartConnect cloud monitoring: the SmartConnect Ethernet port enables remote power monitoring (feature availability varies by terms of use).
- Graceful shutdown: USB and serial ports work with PowerChute Serial Shutdown to close down connected computers safely.
- 8 IEC C13 outlets and LCD console: multifunction LCD status and control console, configurable alarms and full-time multi-pole noise filtering.

Who it's for
Suited to: small offices, retail counters and comms cupboards protecting a server, NAS, POS terminal, router, switches or VoIP system from power outages and voltage fluctuations. See the full APC UPS and power protection range for other capacities.
Not suited to: loads above 600W, sites needing extended runtime packs (this model has no extendable runtime), or rack installations. For more capacity in the same tower format, see the APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA (SMC1500IC).
FAQs
How long will the SMC1000IC run on battery?
About 5 minutes 21 seconds at a full 600W load, according to APC's runtime calculator; lighter loads run longer.
Does the APC SMC1000IC output pure sine wave power?
Yes. APC describes it as a 1000VA/600W line-interactive pure sine wave tower UPS.
What outlets does it have?
It has eight IEC 60320 C13 outlets and an IEC 60320 C14 input.
Can I monitor the UPS remotely?
Yes. The SmartConnect Ethernet port supports cloud-based remote power monitoring, and USB or serial connections support graceful shutdown with PowerChute Serial Shutdown.
