Compare the current US color-LCD UPS units by output limits, manufacturer runtime at 100 W and 200 W, backed outlets and shutdown connections.
The decision in brief
How the options differ
Start with CP1000PFCLCD when the backed load fits its 600 W / 1000 VA limits, five backed sockets are enough and its stated runtime leaves the shutdown reserve you need. Choose the reviewed 1000 W CP1500PFCLCD for its higher output limit, longer manufacturer estimates at 100 W and 200 W, sixth backed socket or optional network-management card support. Verify the exact revision and shutdown setup before relying on either.

The buying guide
Package and specification details
Start with the exact output rating and revision
This comparison selects the current color-LCD CP1000PFCLCD at 1000 VA / 600 W and the CP1500PFCLCD version rated 1500 VA / 1000 W with twelve outlets. Check both VA and watts against the full backed load. CP1000 is a candidate when that load fits within its lower limits; CP1500 provides a higher documented output limit. Match the delivered label and outlet layout to these selections, because the model name alone does not fix a hardware revision.
CyberPower’s reviewed calculators estimate 30 minutes for CP1000 and 66 minutes for CP1500 at 100 W. At 200 W, the estimates are 13.5 and 30.8 minutes. These are manufacturer figures for fully charged new batteries under normal conditions; numeric ambient temperature and load power factor are unspecified. CP1500 has the longer published estimate at both matched loads. That supports choosing it for more estimated reserve, but does not guarantee an installed runtime. Leave time for a controlled shutdown and do not substitute half-load figures, which test different watt loads on these two units.
Suppose a NAS and router draw 100 W combined and you want ten minutes before shutdown: both published estimates exceed that operating target. At an assumed 200 W for a NAS, switch and other gear, a twenty-minute target exceeds the CP1000 estimate of 13.5 minutes; the CP1500 estimate of 30.8 minutes leaves nominal reserve. These are hypothetical loads and targets, not measurements of named equipment. Low-battery protection can act earlier, and the remaining time must cover shutdown. Verify the complete installation rather than setting a delay from these examples alone.
CP1000 supplies five battery-backed, surge-protected NEMA 5-15R outlets plus five surge-only outlets. CP1500 supplies six of each. The larger unit therefore adds one socket that stays powered during an outage, not two. Both have a US NEMA 5-15P input and a five-foot cord. Count the NAS, computer and any network equipment needed during shutdown, then check power-adapter spacing and the installation instructions. A surge-only socket cannot keep a required switch running when utility power fails.
Choose the communication path you will actually use
Both document a rear USB HID data connection and include a USB A-to-B cable. Their front USB-A and USB-C ports are charging outputs. The reviewed CP1500 also documents support for an optional RMCARD205 network-management card; that card is not in this base package. Its Ethernet surge-protection sockets are separate from network management. USB HID support describes the UPS interface, not a completed NAS compatibility test: check the exact NAS, operating-system version and shutdown settings, then test the installed arrangement.
Treat the shared electrical features as specified capabilities
Both use line-interactive operation, sine-wave output on battery and single-boost automatic voltage regulation. Their data sheets give 4 ms typical transfer time. Typical is not a maximum and does not establish uninterrupted operation with every power supply. These shared features do not settle the buying decision by themselves; the useful differences here are the supported load, matched-load runtime estimates, backed socket count and optional network-management path. We have not measured transfer behavior or power quality.
CyberPower specifies RB1290 for CP1000PFCLCD. For CP1500PFCLCD, it lists RB1290X2 for serial numbers beginning CXX and RB1280X2B for CR9, CXF or CQC. The exact replacement therefore depends on the serial prefix of the delivered unit, not just the purchase-page title. Follow the model’s replacement procedure and recheck runtime and shutdown behavior after changing the battery. Neither a new cartridge nor a documented data port proves that a particular NAS will shut down and restart as intended.
Do all ten or twelve outlets provide battery backup?
No. The reviewed CP1000PFCLCD has five backed outlets and five surge-only outlets; CP1500PFCLCD has six backed and six surge-only outlets. Plug every outage-critical device into a backed outlet within the UPS ratings.
No. The reviewed documentation describes the network-management card as optional. Both selected UPS packages include a USB A-to-B data cable; protected Ethernet sockets do not substitute for a management card.
No. The figures are manufacturer estimates at a stated load using fully charged new batteries under normal conditions. Battery age, charge, environment and the connected load can change runtime. NAS shutdown also requires a supported data connection and configured software.
These manufacturer specifications do not establish measured performance, noise, long-term reliability or running cost. We have not independently tested these products. Check current prices, stock and operating-space instructions with the seller and manufacturer.
