New Update

This is the highest ranking sub-300 VA UPS, and also

the highest ranking one from APC. The Back-UPS Pro 280 has designer looks with a single

recessed push button switch on the front panel surrounded by four LEDs. The back panel has

four outlets, which is overkill considering its rating. An RS 232 port is provided for

software control. Two RJ11 sockets are provided for telephone line in line out to remotely

control the UPS through a modem!
