Used APC / SMC Equipment for sale

APC, or American Power Conversion, is a leading producer of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, surge protection devices, and other power management solutions. Originally founded in 1981 as a reseller of building wiring protection products, APC quickly recognized the need for reliable power protection in the growing computer industry. APC first entered the UPS market in 1984 with the release of the first non-interruptible computer power supply. This innovative product sought to solve the problem of sudden power failures that frequently caused data loss and system damage. The success of the initial UPS system propelled APC to become a major player in the power management industry. Over the years, APC continued to develop and refine its power protection technologies, earning a reputation for quality and reliability. Their product range expanded to include rack enclosures, power distribution units, and software solutions for remote monitoring and management of power infrastructure. SMC (Schneider Electric) acquired APC in 2007, forming a strong partnership that brought together two industry powerhouses. APC's focus on power management aligned perfectly with SMC's expertise in energy and automation solutions. Under the Schneider Electric umbrella, APC's product offerings continued to evolve and adapt to meet the changing demands of the tech industry. Today, APC is widely recognized as a global leader in power backup solutions. Its extensive product range caters to a diverse customer base, including data centers, small businesses, home offices, and individual computer users. From personal surge protectors to enterprise-level UPS systems, APC continues to provide reliable power management solutions that protect critical equipment and ensure uninterrupted operations.
