how to connect devices to APC RS 1500 ?

[Anonymous user]

I purchased an APC RS 1500 recently. I wish to connect devices like my router and speakers but these will not plug into the APC RS 1500 model, is there a way that I can do this? Thanks for any help.

The 1500 RS UPS does not have standdard plug sockets. [http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BR1500I]. i.e. I can't just go ahead and plug in a normal plug into it. I am meant to use a detachable IEC C13 to IEC C14 power chord for each device. These are fine for my PC and one of my monitors, but I have four other devices that i wish to connect to the UPS. Two of which, i.e my 2nd monitor and the Router/Modem that I need to have on battery backup, but at present I have no way of plugging them into the UPS whatsoever, either the backup or surge protect only.

European models are setup that way, because the plug varies so much between countries. You should be able to find a power strip that converts IEC 13 to your country's outlets, such as those offered here(or anywhere else you desire to buy from). I have no affiliation with them. These came up in Google search.

What I need is something like this I believe. [http://www.winfordeng.com/products/pwradp.php] "They have an IEC Male connector on one end (plugs into power outlet on back of some PC's) and a standard 3-Prong AC Female socket/outlet on the other" I could actually do with both 3-Prong and 2 Prong AC Female socket outlets.
