CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD
The CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD is a market-leading value option for quarantine applications that need true sine-wave output and active PFC compatibility at a lower price point; it provides good runtime, an informative LCD and robust surge protection for monitoring stations and critical peripherals. Compared with the APC Smart-UPS it offers similar waveform performance for less capital outlay, and while it does not match the Eaton 5PX's online double-conversion quality, it represents an excellent low-cost technical compromise for many isolation-room setups.

Eaton 5PX1500RT
The Eaton 5PX1500RT is positioned as the technical leader for high-dependability quarantine systems because its online double-conversion topology and high efficiency deliver the cleanest, lowest-risk power for sensitive medical equipment and continuous monitoring. Although it carries a higher upfront cost than the line-interactive APC and CyberPower models, its superior power conditioning, scalability and enterprise management justify the investment where zero-transfer-time and utmost availability are required.

APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500MS2
The APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500MS2 is a budget-friendly option suited to non-life-support monitoring and secondary circuits within quarantine facilities, providing solid runtime and automatic voltage regulation for basic continuity needs. It is significantly less expensive than enterprise Smart-UPS and online models and therefore useful where cost containment is critical, but it lacks advanced network management and hot-swappable serviceability, so it is not recommended as the primary UPS for the most critical medical equipment.
