Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Home Office Will Never Be the Same Battery backup is critical to any home office because of the potential of valuable data loss or corruption during a blackout or brownout. During sudden power outages, a hard disk crash can even occur, causing hours of aggravation in recovering data. Typical UPS backup systems allow only a minimal amount of backup time, and sometimes don't react fast enough to prevent data loss, depending on response time. The loss of even a precious few milliseconds of backup time can result in data loss and hard disk crashes. But power failures are not the only power problems encountered by a computer that can cause data loss. Momentary spikes and surges can overload computer circuitry and cause serious damage to hardware and data. Today's home office needs both uninterruptible power and full surge protection to be completely safe. Introducing Monster's High Performance PowerCenter CG500: More Than Just a UPS. The CG500 is the only high performance all-in-one power solution for your entire computer system. Packed full of performance and convenience features, CG500 is a full capacity surge protector and UPS for the price of one. Monster's advanced CrashGuard circuitry features a sophisticated microprocessor for total power management and maximum battery life. CrashGuard's ultra-quick response time (less than 4 milliseconds) enables CG500 to battery power your system the instant a power disturbance occurs, for up to 20 minutes of backup time. This will give you ample time to save active data and safely shut down your computer system. CG500's ultra-high 500 VA rating provides the maximum current needed to support powerful computer systems with large, high-resolution monitors during power outages. Unlike other UPS devices, CG500's full capacity SurgeGuard circuitry provides an ultra-high 1665 joule rating for maximum protection against surge and spike damage. This protection extends to your modem and network connections as well, protecting your entire computer system. Emergency KickStart : When Everything Else Fails: In case of an emergency, when all power fails, you may have to access important computer data or internet/e-mail connections. But if your computer is not turned on, even a UPS won't help. Advanced KickStart circuitry lets you operate CG500 to power your computer when AC power has failed, and even if the CG500 is initially turned off, so you can contact emergency services, friends and relatives, and access important data off the Internet. Monster's CG500 Makes Life Easier: Color-Coded, Labeled Outlets So You Don't, OOPS.... Unplug the Wrong Thing. Monster recognizes that convenience is on par with performance. After all, most of us have reached to unplug something in the deep and dark cave behind the computer system and randomly started pulling plugs. Sooner or later, most of us unplug something we don't want to - like the CPU - which can cause data corruption and hard disk crashes. With Monster's unique color-coding system, you'll always know which components are plugged in where. Color-coding assigns each product its own outlet and a matching AC cord label for easy identification when unplugging components. 8 Outlets Instead of 6: Many UPS devices on the market do not supply enough outlets for a full home office, so you need to add more outlets and surge protectors, cluttering up your neat, organized home office. By providing eight outlets, we take care of all of your home office AC power needs, while helping to keep your office clean and neat. PowerCharge Quick Recharge Circuit: Should you experience power failure, our innovative Monster PowerCharge enables you to recharge Monster's powerful 7,000mAH battery in less than four hours. And, unlike many UPS devices which use "sealed" batteries that can't be replaced, Monster's user replaceable battery eliminates the cost and hassle of buying a new UPS simply because the battery wears out. Protect Your Computer Investment whatever your computer applications are - cruising the internet - playing video games, or just working, CG500 delivers the backup power and surge protection you need, when you need it most. Get CG500 and discover the peace of mind that comes from total power management.
