J60C / J60Ci Short-Depth Lithium Rack UPS – 1U UPS for Shallow Cabinets
600 VA | 120V / 230V | 1U Short-Depth Lithium UPS
Short-depth lithium UPS engineered for shallow cabinets, wall-mounted enclosures, and distributed edge infrastructure requiring compact deployment, long service life, and reliable rack-level power continuity.

8.5 inches deep, where a standard rack UPS will not fit
Most 1U rack UPS systems are 16 to 20 inches deep. Wall-mount network cabinets, shallow AV racks, and two-post closets are often 12 to 14 inches of usable depth, which rules those systems out and forces a compromise. At 8.5 inches the J60C installs in that space with room left for cable management, and LiFePO₄ batteries take the replacement cycle out of sites that are inconvenient to revisit.
15-year lithium battery life in a space-saving 1U
The J60C brings Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology to an 8.5-inch-deep 1U chassis — ideal for short-depth racks, with extra room left over for cable management. Its LiFePO₄ batteries last 3 to 4 times longer than typical lead-acid, and up to 15 years of service life lowers cost of ownership by minimizing UPS maintenance.
A smart LCD adds local status and metering, and an optional Web/SNMP card provides remote management plus remote output on/off control to reboot connected loads. The J60C protects small edge, retail, banking, healthcare, and education environments — and supports IDF/MDF closets, back-office, and network equipment. Learn more in the lithium UPS guide →
Built for shallow, space-constrained racks
1U rack or wall mount
Rack and wall-mount brackets are included as standard. In a shallow wall cabinet the J60C sits in the rails alongside the switch and PDU it protects, rather than forcing a deeper enclosure or a floor-standing unit. See all wall-mount UPS options →
8.5-inch depth
Fits shallow cabinets, wall enclosures, and other space-constrained applications where full-depth rack UPS systems can’t be installed — and leaves room for cable management.
LiFePO₄ — up to 15 years
Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries provide protection for up to 15 years or 3,000–5,000 cycles, 3 to 4 times longer than typical VRLA, reducing replacement cycles and maintenance.
Front-panel display
The LCD delivers vital monitoring and precise UPS status and metering directly from the front panel.
Remote output reboot
With the optional Web/SNMP card, switch the J60C output off and on remotely to reboot connected loads, plus full UPS monitoring and management. Switching applies to the whole output, not individual receptacles.
Temperature & humidity
An optional Environmental Monitoring Device tracks temperature and humidity at the cabinet (requires the Web/SNMP card).
Up to 98% efficiency
The J60C operates at up to 98% efficiency in normal mode, lowering utility cost and reducing heat output in enclosed cabinets.
The cabinet-level continuity layer
The J60C enables rack-level power protection where cabinet depth rules out standard UPS systems. Combining a compact 1U form factor with a short-depth design, it deploys directly inside shallow enclosures and distributed infrastructure — aligning with modern edge and network architectures where protection lives locally rather than centrally. Its standby topology delivers efficient ride-through and controlled shutdown without the cost and complexity of a larger online UPS. See the rack power architecture guide →
Where the J60C fits in the Xtreme Power lithium lineup
The J60C is the right choice when cabinet depth is the constraint — its 8.5-inch short-depth 1U fits shallow racks and wall-mount enclosures where standard UPS systems won’t. For embedded or device-level protection, consider the J60. When form factor is standard 2U rack/tower, consider the P91 Li. For high-density 1U online double-conversion, step up to the J90.
Where the J60C is deployed
The J60C is deployed across distributed environments where shallow cabinet depth limits equipment choice but reliable battery backup is still required: network closets and shallow IT racks, AV systems and media installations, security and surveillance infrastructure, retail edge systems and kiosks, and telecommunications cabinets. A 600 VA system typically supports shallow-rack equipment in the 100–300 W range, with runtime intended for ride-through and controlled shutdown. Size it with the UPS selector →
Lithium UPS for mobile AV and IT carts
The J60C’s ultra-short-depth 1U fits the shallow racks and cabinets built into mobile AV and IT carts, and LiFePO₄ chemistry handles the repeated daily discharge-and-recharge cycling that comes with carts being unplugged, moved, and reconnected. It’s the rack-integrated counterpart to the embedded J60 for cart builds that already carry rackmount equipment.
Mobile AV systems
Classroom, conference-room, training, and event carts. The short-depth 1U slots into mobile racks and cabinets that won’t accept a full-depth UPS, with quiet operation for shared spaces.
Workstation & network carts
Carts carrying rackmount switches, routers, and compute. With the optional Web/SNMP card, a remote output reboot power-cycles the cart equipment, so a frozen switch needs no site visit.

J60C: frequently asked questions
How deep a rack does the J60C need?
The chassis is 8.5 inches deep and 1U high. Most 1U rack UPS systems are 16 to 20 inches deep, so the J60C fits wall-mount network cabinets, shallow AV racks and two-post closets with 12 to 14 inches of usable depth, with room left for cable management.
Can it be wall mounted?
Yes. Rack and wall-mount brackets are both included as standard. In a shallow wall cabinet it sits in the rails alongside the switch and PDU it protects.
What is the difference between the J60C and the J60Ci?
Voltage and receptacles. The J60C is 120 V with five NEMA 5-15R receptacles and ships with a 5-15P to C13 cord. The J60Ci is 230 V with five IEC C13 receptacles and a C14 inlet for a locally sourced cord. On both, four receptacles have battery backup and one is surge only.
Can I reboot connected equipment remotely?
Yes, with the optional Web/SNMP card. It switches the whole output off and on to reboot connected loads and adds full UPS monitoring. Switching is not per receptacle.
How long do the batteries last?
The LiFePO₄ batteries are rated for up to 15 years or 3,000 to 5,000 cycles, 3 to 4 times the life of typical lead-acid. Operating range is 0–50 °C with derating above 40 °C.
What is the warranty?
5 years electronics and battery in the USA and Canada, 2 years depot repair elsewhere, and 2 years where ambient runs 40–50 °C. In the USA and Canada the 120 V J60C also carries a $25,000 load protection policy, with registration required within 10 days of purchase.
When should I choose the J60 or the J90 instead?
Choose the J60 when the UPS goes inside or behind the equipment rather than in a rack. Choose the J90 when you need online double-conversion, individual outlet switching or external battery packs in 1U.
