Product Description

Belkin's 500VA/300-watt F6H500-USB protects your computer and associated equipment against surges, spikes, blackouts, and even lightning strikes, providing up to 28 minutes backup time for 4 of its 8 AC outlets in the event of a power outage. The UPS device also offers protection for a USB port and three RJ-11 analog phone jacks (one in, two out).

And, in the unlikely event that your equipment is actually damaged while plugged into the F6H500, Belkin's $50,000 Connected Equipment and Data Recovery warranties will make sure you're financially compensated for your loss. The UPS comes with Bulldog Software that's compatible with Windows XP, 95/98, 2000, and NT.

Bulldog features graceful operating system shutdown, programmable power parameters for more or less stringent protection, and multi-lingual options.

You people with XP apparently don't know what you're doing

This is the third Belkin SERIAL UPS I have purchased. (...)You need to set up the Software and do some tweaking to your liking, and they work like a charm.Now, I just purchased this unit and it works great just as expected on a fully loaded machine.I also have some APC UPS units- I'll take the Belkins any day over them.Just FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, set up your Software, and listen to that sexy sounding lady with the English accent tell you the status of your UPS while it's safely shutting down your Computer...

Works great

I have two of these and they both work fine for my needs. One is plugged into Tivo and the DirectTV box because they take so friggin long to boot up after an outage, and the other is connected to my Sun Fire V120 server. Admittedly, this isn't a high-end server, and I had to splice together an RJ-45 to Cat-5 serial cable to install the Unix daemon (available on their website), but it serves my needs perfectly. None of the bricks have ever run out of power, so the battery life is certainly adequate...

Really came through

Don't care that it's not USB or XP-compliant. I am using it as just a UPS and it really paid for itself during that recent power outage in the Northeast.I was online and I noticed the room lights went out. Yet I was still connected because my PC was running on the UPS. I was able to remain online for about 20 minutes whereby I read news stories about the power outage, as it was happening.A nice feature is that it has 8 outlets, not the customary 6.It is very heavy - I was very surprised that Amazon...

NOT USB, and NOT XP compliant.

If you care about USB and XP compatibility, don't buy this.Otherwise, go for it....

NOT USB, and NOT XP compliant.

If you care about USB (rather than serial) and you care about it 'just working' with your windows XP, then buy something else.I got sent the one with a serial cable, and some terribly poor software.I used windows XP's UPS control panel (power management) and I think I had to say it was an APC serial device.No idea if it's doing the right thing - my confidence is low with this product.However, if you don't mind serial, and running other s/ware - it's probably OK....
