SHAKOPEE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyber Power Systems (USA), Inc., a leader in power protection and management products, announced today that CRN,® a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized its CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave Mini-Tower UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system as a finalist in the 2020 Product of the Year Awards in the power management technology category. The product line provides sine wave battery backup and surge protection for high-end equipment such as desktop PCs and gaming systems which require active PFC (power factor correction) source compatibility.
For the fifth year of this respected list, products were chosen by surveying IT solution providers who have real-life experience with the products and technologies, and the expertise of the CRN editorial team. Products and services featured on the CRN Product of the Year list exemplify the IT channel’s top offerings based on technological innovation, financial opportunity and customer demand.
The top five finalists were chosen by CRN editors in each of 24 different product categories. Products are then rated by solution providers using criteria such as technology, revenue and profit generation, and customer demand. The 2020 survey received more than 5,000 responses.
Last year, CyberPower announced a redesign of its PFC Sinewave Mini-Tower UPS product line to include a tilting multi-function color LCD control panel and a USB-C charging port for devices, among other features.
“We are thrilled to be recognized again by CRN and our valued IT channel partners as a CRN Product of the Year finalist. We appreciate that our IT channel partners recognize the benefits of keeping their customers productive and protected from power surges and outages with the redesigned CyberPower model CP1500PFCLCD,” said Tracey McMeekin, senior product manager at CyberPower.
