LONDON, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric,
the leader in digital transformation of energy management and
automation, has today announced the availability of its
APC™ Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
in Europe.
Celebrating 40 years of Legendary Reliability and leadership in
critical power protection during 2024, the new, stylish, and
state-of-the-art UPS has been designed to protect gaming equipment
from power outages and deliver a robust power connection, despite
energy spikes and failures.
Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming has been specifically designed with gamers,
streamers, and influencers in mind, delivering uninterruptible
power protection, even in regions where the grid is unstable,
keeping GPU-powered PCs, leading consoles, streamers, and gamers
connected to both their online gaming experiences and audiences,
regardless of power disruptions.
To deliver robust protection, APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming
UPS features sine wave battery backup power - delivering the
smooth electrical current required by sensitive electronics and AVR
(Automatic Voltage Regulation), and helping to protect against
power irregularities that can result in glitches and buffering
during an outage to extend the lifespan of gaming equipment.
APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming also features a patented reactor circle
which is visible from every angle, providing the status of the UPS'
remaining battery power, and details on surges, dips, power
outages, while highlighting building wiring faults.
APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming 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.
- Six Battery Back-up Outlets: Complete with surge
protection, the unit instantly powers sensitive electronics, such
as an Xbox, PlayStation, PCs, TVs, or routers/modems, during a
power loss.
- Four Additional Surge-Only Outlets: Designed to protect
against unsafe power surges and 'hard shutdowns' that can
permanently damage equipment.
- Three Front USB Ports: To recharge devices, like a
gaming headsets and mobile phones.
Custom Design: Available in two colour options – Arctic
(BGM1500) and Midnight (BGM1500B), both with 12 customizable RGB
LED lights to match a user's gaming setup.
"Reliable power and Internet connectivity are fundamentals for
today's Gamers and Influencers, and any surges, spikes or energy
failures can have a major impact on both their equipment, and their
connection to audiences around the world," said Elliott Turek, Director of Category Management,
Schneider Electric, Europe. "With
the introduction of APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming in Europe, we're ensuring that expensive and
sensitive electronics such as GPU-powered PC's and Gaming systems
from the likes of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, stay protected from
electrical damage, and that the Gamers and Influencers of the
future benefit from Legendary Reliability, when they need it
most."
The gamers of the future
As more gamers and streamers invest in expensive equipment and
spend more time engaging audiences online and competing in gaming,
protecting their connection is critical. Schneider Electric, the
parent company of APC, is 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 APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming UPS to their home and studio
setups allows both professional and recreational gamers, and social
media influencers, 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 protection to a router and/or
modem.
- In the Game: If the power is interrupted or lost during
play, APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming allows gamers to finish a match and
reap the rewards that would have otherwise been lost.
