Reason I ask, is because reading the Mikrotik forums really make it sound hit or miss as to which APC’s work with which model Mikrotiks
This thread for e.g. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12670&p=428800&hilit=rb2011+ups+usb#p428800. This guy tested different APC’s with different Mikrotiks and had mixed results even between different CCR1036’s. One CCR1036 saw 9 out of the 10 UPS’s he was testing, but another CCR1036 only saw 1 of the 10.

Note that some Mikrotik USB ports only run at USB2.0 speed (480mbit) while many UPSes only run at USB1.0 speeds (12 / 1.5mbit). I saw this issue while trying to connect a Back-UPS 350 to a RB951. IIRC inserting a USB2.0 hub between them will fix it.

I’ve tested with a couple older ones I have around here, and can’t get the 2011 to recognize the APC through /system ups.

Most APC’s can be monitored over USP through a Mikrotik router (anyone with a USB port). That is what we do for out smaller site, in-fact we usually add external batteries for longer runtime.

Something non-rack mountable and that doesn’t require external batteries? Everything I find wants to be monitored through USB with proprietary programs like Powerchute, etc… Thanks, Justin
