I want to use this for my networking hardware (~45W). According to the APC webpage, there's a mention of a 90W minimum requirement for this model. Would that mean this UPS is not suitable for my equipment? I'm trying to get a runtime of at least 2.5 hrs. null

For your usage pick a smaller 1350VA in the same line. The batteries (Two 12V 9AH) will be the same which can delivered about 216 WH. I have used this line of UPS units for just a network switch without any problems.

While it is strange to me that one needs 90W drawing on the machine to get it to function, I have not tried it on lighter weight equipment. We use two of these for two C-PAP machines, each of which had a heated hose and water reservoir and each of which we need to run for a full night. I am not sure of their wattage, but I am sure that they work well with the machines - no power interruptions reported.
