(Old) SU700 vs. SU700NET?

[Anonymous user]

Hello:

I will be purchasing a used UPS (with new batteries) and have narrowed my needs down to either the SU700 or the SU700NET.

Both are the same price.  I can't figure out which one is better or what the differences are, if any.

The only thing I notice is that the SU700's surge suppression is rated at 320 J while the SU700NET is rated at 480 J, a slight advantage to the NET model and perhaps an indication it's a little bit newer.

Am I missing anything?  What are the differences and why was the "NET" moniker used?

Here's what I'm using for reference:

SU700 specs

SU700NET specs

Thank you.

Hi,

The difference is the SU700NET shipped with a serial cable and PowerChute software. The SU700 did not ship with the cable and PowerChute.

Ah, so not a huge difference then.  Thanks!
