How Long is the cable to connect the 24vdc to the UPS? Do they need to sit side by side?
1407622
The cable is approximately 13 inches long and plugs into the back of both units so they do need to sit very close together.

There is enough room to put another back up between the main unit and the back up you are attaching to

Unfortunately the cable length is only about a foot. It's a special heavy gauge cable which permanently comes out of the battery unit and has the one connector for the main UPS. I thought it might be long enough to build a two shelf platform for sitting one unit above the other to go into a more narrow space. However, the cable is only long enough to allow for the battery unit to actually sit on the main UPS. I didn't have enough space to sit the units side-by-side but the cable will easily allow for that arrangement. I might try disassembling the cable someday to see if I can create an extension.

Someone put a stack of boxes in the server room while I was on vacation and I can't get back there to look. However, mine are sitting side by side and I remember our IT guy told me to put them side by side. I'll pass this question on to him and see if he knows.

The cable is approximately 6" so yes they need to be side by side. APC may make an extender cable. That I do not know...

It's very short and probably you will need a power cable extension. I had the same issue

I don't know the answer to that. I used the cords supplied and both PCs are within 5'. Sorry I'm no help.

Joe, it's been a few months since I assembled my system but, as I recall, the cable lengths were all very generous. I don't think this should be a problem for you with this PSU. A big plus is all the variety of cables and connectors that are included with this unit. Very versatile package that was highly recommended to me by a serious "techie" at Tiger Direct. I took his advice but made my purchase here.

It's exactly 24.5" long from metal enclosure to the end of the cable connector, assuming they are all manufactured the same.

I agree with Derrick Davis, it all depends on how much you are running on it. The UPS is only designed to run long enough for a proper shutdown of the computer in case of a power outage. A minute to save your work, a minute to shut down should be all you need.

From what I remember at least 6 feet. The pic is showing a short cord on power supply which is on off switch. Then he other side runs to light and plugs in. If nothing changed they are pretty long. I have some coiled up. I purchased last year.Might want to email manufacturer to make sure nothing changed.

The cables are long enough to be used in a full tower case. But I will never, ever, no way in heck, recommend the power supply. Mine was defective and the part of the supply that fed the two CD-DVD drives literally fried both of them, complete with smoke and burned insulation. Amazon took it back and refunded the purchase price, which I greatly appreciate.

Trying to draw 100% of the rated load of a power supply is not a good idea. Especially with these cheap power supplies, I wouldn't go over 80%. According to Joseph's measurements, the terminals are off the same bus so depending on the design, shorting them wouldn't help anyway.

This unit is only rated for 900 Watts so it you have your computer maxed out no it will not work; also even if your computer is only running at about 75% you will have no available power from the UPS for peripheral items. The power cord is 3 conductor 16 gauge with a standard 15 amp NEMA plug. I would suggest you use at least a 2000 VA UPS and really you probably need something even bigger if you want to have any amount of run time after a power failure.

My charging station has a cord that is 6 ft long. Check product description before you purchase. I don't know why someone else has 24", perhaps it is a slightly different product.

I am not sure as i have covered the connection up so that the terminals could not be accidentally crossed by something. I installed the largest cables you could find on Amazon and they bolted right up. I would say they are on the large side for a converter. It does the job on a stand alone deep cycle battery very well.

No. The audio cable is 15-inches long from where it juts out from the VGA cable. You need 24-inches. This cable is designed for a desktop computer where the VGA and audio connections are adjacent.

No. This is a surge protector, not a Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). You would need a UPS unit. TRIPP-LITE offers great options for those also.

You need to put 4 gauge stranded DC Cable (available on Amazon) into a snug 3/8" I.D. water type copper tube and then use a chisel to dent the tube around the cable. Thereafter, use the appropriate size Allen wrench and hand tighten hard the terminated DC cable in the Tripplite inverter. I have no problem with the entire assembly.

The connection wires are about 6 or 7 inches long or so. I didn't measure but it's about that.
