Reliable Power Protection for Switches, Routers & PoE Network Infrastructure
Network switches and routers are the backbone of modern IT infrastructure. From core switches in MDFs to access switches in IDFs and branch routers in remote offices, these devices connect users, wireless access points, security systems, and cloud resources. Even a brief power disruption can bring entire networks offline.
Xtreme Power Conversion offers a comprehensive portfolio of UPS solutions purpose-built for network switches, routers, and PoE infrastructure—ranging from compact edge UPS systems to online UPS platforms for IDF and enterprise environments. Our J60, J60C, V70, J90 (120V), J90i (208/230V), and P91 UPS systems ensure critical networking equipment stays online during outages, brownouts, and electrical disturbances.
Network switches and routers powering critical communications and data traffic
Why a UPS for Switches & Routers Is Essential
- Prevent network downtime
A single switch or router outage can disconnect departments, campuses, or remote sites. - Protect critical applications
Cloud platforms, collaboration tools, and enterprise security depend on continuous network uptime. - Support PoE devices
Access switches often power wireless APs, VoIP phones, cameras, and IoT devices—all requiring UPS protection. - Maintain security and connectivity
Firewalls, SD-WAN appliances, and VPN gateways remain operational during power disruptions. - Avoid business disruption
Network downtime impacts productivity, revenue, and customer trust.
