J60C / J60Ci Short-Depth Lithium Rack UPS
600 VA | 120V / 230V | 1U Short-Depth Lithium UPS
Short-depth lithium UPS engineered for shallow cabinets, wall-mounted enclosures, and distributed edge infrastructure requiring compact deployment, long service life, and reliable rack-level power continuity.
The Xtreme Power J60C (120V) and J60Ci (230V) are short-depth lithium UPS systems designed for shallow cabinets, wall-mounted enclosures, and distributed edge infrastructure.
With an approximately 8.5-inch depth, the system fits into shallow network cabinets and AV racks where traditional rack UPS platforms cannot be deployed. Lithium Iron Phosphate battery technology enables long service life, high temperature operation, and reduced maintenance compared to conventional VRLA-based compact UPS systems.
J60C defines the category of short-depth rack-mounted lithium UPS systems.

Short-Depth Rack UPS Architecture
J60C enables rack-level power protection in environments where cabinet depth prevents the use of standard UPS systems. By combining a compact 1U form factor with a short-depth design, it supports deployment directly within shallow enclosures and distributed infrastructure.
This aligns with modern edge and network architectures where power protection must be deployed locally rather than centrally.
Key Advantages of J60C / J60Ci
J60C is engineered for shallow rack environments where space, thermal conditions, and maintenance constraints limit UPS selection.
- Short-depth 1U design fits shallow cabinets and wall enclosures
- Lithium Iron Phosphate battery enables long service life and reduced maintenance
- High temperature operation up to 50 °C
- Flexible mounting options (rack or wall)
- Optional network monitoring (SNMP / web)
- TAA compliant for regulated deployments
Where J60C Fits
J60C operates as the short-depth rack continuity layer within distributed infrastructure, providing localized protection at the cabinet level. It is typically deployed where cabinet depth constraints prevent the use of standard rack UPS systems.
Within the Xtreme Power architecture:
- J60 → embedded device-level UPS
- A60 → desktop UPS
- J60C / J60Ci → shallow rack UPS (this system)
- P80 → standard rack UPS
- J90 / J90i → high-density lithium rack UPS
This creates a scalable path from embedded protection to full rack and facility-level UPS systems.
J60C vs Conventional Rack UPS
Conventional rack UPS systems are designed for full-depth racks and cannot be deployed in shallow cabinets. J60C addresses this limitation by providing compact lithium backup power that fits within constrained enclosures while still delivering reliable ride-through and shutdown capability.
Standby topology enables efficient operation without the cost and complexity of larger online UPS systems.
J60C vs J60Ci
J60C and J60Ci share the same mechanical design and battery architecture, with voltage being the primary difference.
- J60C → 120V for North America
- J60Ci → 230V for international deployments
TAA-Compliant Lithium UPS
J60C supports TAA-compliant procurement, making it suitable for federal, defense, education, and municipal infrastructure environments. This enables standardized deployment across regulated projects where shallow cabinets are commonly used.
Typical Applications
J60C is deployed across distributed infrastructure environments where shallow cabinet depth limits equipment selection but reliable battery backup is required. Typical applications include network closets and shallow IT racks, AV systems and media installations, security and surveillance infrastructure, retail edge systems and kiosks, and telecommunications cabinets.
Capacity Guidance
J60C is designed for localized rack protection. A 600 VA system typically supports shallow rack equipment in the 100–300 W range, with runtime intended for ride-through and controlled shutdown.
Competitive Evaluation
J60C is commonly evaluated against compact rack UPS platforms such as APC Smart-UPS SCL and Eaton 5P short-depth systems, particularly in applications where cabinet depth is limited.
