UPS & Power
In South Africa, power protection is not an optional extra on an equipment order. An unprotected desktop loses work and eventually loses a drive; an unprotected switch or server takes the whole office down with it.
What’s available
- Desktop UPS units for individual working positions
- Larger UPS units for servers, network cabinets and shared equipment
- Line-interactive and online UPS types depending on what is being protected
- Surge-protected distribution units and multiplugs
- Inverters and trolley units for extended runtime
- Power banks, chargers and charging stations for mobile and field teams
Typical business use
The practical order of priority is almost always the same: protect the network cabinet and any server first, because when they drop everyone stops, then protect the working positions that would lose the most work. We quote in that order unless there is a reason not to.
Who it suits
- Offices that lose work or hardware to power interruptions
- Sites with a server, network cabinet or shared equipment to keep alive
- Reception, point-of-sale and counter positions that cannot stop trading
- Field, site and mobile teams needing portable charging
What PMPEC assists with
- Working out what actually has to stay on, and for how long
- Sizing units against the connected load rather than guesswork
- Advising where surge protection alone is enough and a UPS is not needed
- Quoting power protection alongside the equipment it protects
Requesting a quote for ups & power
Include what you can from the list below. If you are not sure of the specification, describe what the equipment has to do and we will propose options rather than send you away to work it out.
- What equipment needs to stay running
- How long it needs to stay running for
- Whether this is for a desk, a cabinet, or a whole area
- Any existing units being replaced
Often quoted together
- ServersTower and rack server hardware for file storage, line-of-business applications and small-business infrastructure.
- NetworkingSwitches, routers, wireless access points, cabling and connectivity hardware for offices and sites.
- DesktopsOffice, business and performance desktop computers, including small-form-factor and all-in-one options.
- Accessories & ConsumablesCables, adapters, docking stations, carry cases, consumables and the everyday items that finish a setup.
Bundling these into one request usually produces a better quote than ordering them separately — and nothing arrives missing a cable.
