What Is a Universal Serial Bus (USB)? A Universal Serial Bus (USB) connects computers and peripherals. The USB replaces the different kinds of serial and parallel port connectors with one standardized plug and port combined. You can use a USB with various devices, including those for digital photography, digital imaging, PC-telephony, video conferencing, and others. Read More ›

GreenPower UPS Technology: Bypass Design GreenPower UPS™ Technology from CyberPower improves operating efficiency, reduce heat generation, and consume less power than conventional UPS models. Our patented Bypass Design allows current to bypass the transformer and automatic voltage regulation (AVR) when utility power is normal, thus reducing energy consumption and associated costs. Because utility power functions normally most Read More ›

GreenPower UPS Technology: Eco Mode GreenPower UPS™ Technology from CyberPower improves operating efficiency, reduce heat generation, and consume less power than conventional UPS models. ECO Mode is a form of bypass technology that can be switched on full time, set for noncritical times (such as nights and weekends), or switched off. This flexibility can help conserve power and Read More ›

USB 2.0 Cable USB devices,such as computer peripherals, smartphones, and other electronics, have sockets which connect with the plug of a USB cable. These cables attach a USB device to another device or piece of electronic equipment, providing for data transfer, connectivity, and charging/powering. The sockets (ports) of a host device are referred to as Read More ›

Safety, Efficiency, and Power Inverters A power inverter changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), but does not produce the power, itself. These inverters provide portable, efficient power, are convenient to use, and versatile of purpose. Power inverters from CyberPower convert automobile DC power to AC power to rapidly charge and power laptop computers, Read More ›

PowerPanel Business Edition Software and Its Roles PowerPanel® Business Edition software offers three roles for UPS management: Agent, Client, and Center. When installing this software on a computer, choose one of these roles. Use Agent if you connect the computer to the UPS with a USB or Serial cable. Agent, which is the primary means Read More ›

Transformers and Transformer Outlets A transformer converts alternating current line voltage to a higher value or a lower value. Transformers rely upon electromagnetic induction, the process which occurs when the alternating current within a circuit generates current in a nearby circuit. Transformers vary in design and size, as well as using different amounts of current. Read More ›

Polarity Selectors and Universal Power Adapters Some of the Universal Power Adapters from CyberPower feature a polarity selector. This selector enables you to choose positive or negative polarity to match the requirement of the device you want to connect to the adapter. The polarity (positive or negative) required by such a device will typically be Read More ›

Voltage Selectors and Universal Power Adapters Some of CyberPower’s Universal Power Adapters feature a voltage selector. This selector supports multiple voltages. The range varies according by model. Typically, the device and/or its user manual will show the voltage required for efficient operation. If you cannot determine the proper voltage, contact the manufacturer of the device Read More ›

Registered Jacks A registered jack (RJ) consists of the jack construction and wiring pattern of a standardized physical network interface to connect telecommunications or data equipment to a service provided by local exchange carrier or long distance carrier. Many CyberPower surge protectors feature data protection for RJ-11 (standard phone lines) and RJ-45 (Ethernet). RJ-11 (RJ11): Read More ›

CyberPower Management Console The CyberPower Management Console is a Network Management System (NMS) that provides real-time remote power monitoring and control of Power Distribution Units (PDUs). This useful hardware interface is built into CyberPower Switched and Monitored PDUs. For both Switched and Monitored PDUs, the Management Console enables administrators to perform operational tasks, such as Read More ›

Differences between Cable Types CyberPower offers these types of the cable: Category 5e, Category 6, FireWire®, Parallel, and USB 2.0. Category 5e Cable is a twisted pair cable for carrying signals. It is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet. The cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is Read More ›
