Introduction and Features

The Ultra 850VA UPS is designed to help protect your PC and other valuable electronic gear during power interruptions. Find out why you probably need one.

Ultra Products has a well-earned reputation with PC enthusiasts for providing a full range of aftermarket components and accessories.  Today we have something a bit different from the normal fare up for review – an Ultra Products Power Protection Unit.  Most PC enthusiasts invest hundreds if not thousands of dollars in the latest computer equipment and software but how many of us are protected in the event the power suddenly goes out?  Along with regular backups, having good surge suppression and a UPS properly integrated into your system is one of the best ways to prevent hardware damage and data loss.
