What is a UPS thin client?
"UPS" is not a term used for a product type in the Thinvent range. A UPS is an uninterruptible power supply, a battery unit that keeps equipment running during a power cut. A thin client is a small computer that runs its applications from a server or the cloud. If you are looking for a thin client that works with a UPS, any thin client in the Thinvent range can be connected to one. Thinvent thin clients use a standard DC adapter (5V 2A on the Micro 5R, 19V 1.3A or 19V 3A on the Neo S), so they can be powered from a UPS with a suitable output.
