Just bought a BX1500LCD - Clarification please

I haven't taken delivery yet, but I was told that on the back of the box there's an image of the back of the actual device with a map of the various plugs.

It shows what appears to be a 10/100 ethernet plug but it's labeled "Data Port to insure installation of DataChute software".

Can this UPS actually protect my network card or not?

This review at amazon http://www.amazon.com/review/R2G01UOVZEF3TR/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2G01UOVZEF3TR states the following

There are two models - BR1500LCD (Back UPS RS 1500) and BX1500LCD (Back UPS XS 1500). The difference:

*1. RS model has additional phone/fax/model/10/100base-T ethernet protection. The XS only has phone/fax/modem protection.*
*2. Auto Voltage Regulation is capable of BOOST (due from low voltage) and TRIM (from over voltage). Again, the XS model only has BOOST, and no TRIM feature.*

Can someone please clarify the actual differences? I had thought that the only difference was that the BX was retail and th BR was online.

There is protection for phone and cable lines because they come in from outside the building, which makes them susceptible surges. LAN (cat5 etc) is inherently resistant to surges.

The RJ45 connector labeled "Data Port" is actually a USB port with a non-standard connector. My guess is that it's not labeled as a USB port because it doesn't conform to the USB standard. Any equipment that uses the term USB would have to conform to the USB standard, including connectors.

I'm 99% sure I can explain the confusion, and if I'm wrong one of the APC guys can chime in...

The two jacks that you see for phone in/out are actually RJ-45 jacks which you can use to protect either a phone OR they will also accept a network patch cable. A standard phone cord (RJ-11) and network patch cable (RJ-45) will both fit in to this type of jack. But you can obviously only protect one device at a time.

The other RJ-45 jack below those is for the management cable, the cable has an RJ-45 connector on one end and a USB connector on the other, like in the attached picture file.

Regards,
Stew.

Thank you

The unit was described to me as having an input for my dsl line which is a cat-5?

Seems odd to have 2 inputs for phone lines and none for internet cable
