Ideal Protection for Home or Office PCs and Peripherals

With reliable battery backup and surge suppression, the BC350 offers a complete power protection solution for a wide range of home and office electronics. It features a split-outlet design with six total AC outlets: three to provide battery backup support and surge protection for computers, monitors and other critical components, and three to provide surge protection only for peripherals such as printers and scanners that do not require battery backup.

Reliable Battery Backup

UPS battery backup support enables you to work through short power failures, and provides time to save files and perform an orderly system shutdown in case of a prolonged blackout. The BC350 features an internal battery that provides 2.5 min. of battery support for a full load (180 watts), 10 min. for a half-load (90 watts) or 12 min. for a basic desktop PC. During normal operation, incoming utility power keeps the UPS battery fully charged so that backup power will always be available if needed.

Surge Suppression

A sudden power surge or spike can damage or destroy electronic components and wipe out irreplaceable data. The BC350 features built-in 380-joule surge suppression to protect all connected components and the data they contain.

EMI/RFI Line Noise Filtering

Various electromagnetic and radio sources can cause disruptive interference on the AC line. This line noise is a common cause of incremental hardware damage, data corruption and audio/video performance problems. The BC350 incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line noise, preventing it from affecting your equipment.

This review is from: Tripp Lite BC350 BC Personal 350VA Compact UPS (6 Outlets) (Electronics)

Our company bought over 100+ of these to use as cheap stopgap protection for when we fail over to generator testing which lasts all of 3 to 4 seconds each month. So far over 50% of these have failed in less than eight months. The warranty requires you to pay to send it back to them to "determine" if it's their problem. Since the unit costs less than $50 it's not worth the effort.

I use this in my home network mainly for providing temporary power support to the modem and router during power shortage. Due to some special situations, although I've got this for only 2 months it already went through several challenges and so far it works fine. Saves me lots of time re-setting my modem & router which I had to do everytime after a power shortage before I got this UPS. I only wish they can increase the space between each plug becuase I can only fit 2 those "big-head" adapter plugs into it and the 3rd one was wasted.

This unit is reasonable small, so it fits well in the space I had. Don't plug any big loads into it, it won't last long. It's only 350VA, so take that into account. It's fine for my needs, but make sure you know your loads.
