The Xtreme Power J60C and J60Ci Series are ultra-compact lithium UPS platforms designed for shallow rack environments where cabinet depth is limited.
With an industry-leading 8.5-inch rack depth, these systems are commonly evaluated against compact UPS platforms from APC, Eaton, and CyberPower for deployments in wall-mounted cabinets, telecom enclosures, AV racks, and distributed IT infrastructure.

Where J60C / J60Ci Fit
J60C and J60Ci are positioned as ultra-short-depth lithium UPS platforms designed specifically for shallow cabinet and enclosure deployments.
- J60 → ultra-compact standalone / edge UPS
- J60C / J60Ci → short-depth rack UPS (this platform)
- P91 Li → standard rack UPS
- J90 / J90i → high-density premium rack UPS
J60C (120V) and J60Ci (230V) enable deployment where standard rack UPS systems cannot fit.
Key Differentiators
J60C and J60Ci are designed specifically for shallow rack environments where conventional UPS systems are too deep.
Key characteristics include:
- Ultra-short 8.5-inch rack depth
- 1U compact chassis design
- LiFePO₄ battery technology with long lifecycle
- Rack or wall-mount installation flexibility
- Lightweight and easy installation
- Reduced maintenance compared to lead-acid UPS systems
These characteristics position the platform as a purpose-built solution for distributed and space-constrained infrastructure.

Why Short-Depth UPS Matters
Shallow rack environments—such as wall-mounted cabinets and telecom enclosures—often cannot accommodate standard 18–30 inch deep UPS systems.
Short-depth UPS platforms enable:
- installation in shallow cabinets
- improved airflow and thermal management
- simplified installation in constrained spaces
- better standardization across distributed deployments
Lithium vs Lead-Acid in Shallow Rack Deployments
J60C and J60Ci use lithium battery technology, which offers clear advantages over traditional lead-acid UPS systems in compact environments.
Lithium UPS systems provide longer service life, reduced maintenance requirements, improved high-temperature performance, and faster recharge compared to lead-acid alternatives.
