Power source for CM600

Hi, I am planning to buy a CM600 and connect it to a backup APC UPS battery which acts as a power source. But I need to know if the power input is compatible with this backup batter power pack.  My question is if the CM600 powersource input is the same as the R6700 Nighthawk cable modem, which I know is compatible with my battery pack. Does anyone know? 

 

Thanks


Here's the APC backup, FYI:

    Check the power adapter sticker for input values. v110-120 is most common for North America Region.

       People who've read the User Manuals for those devices might have a
    clue.

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in the relevant model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for
    "Technical Specifications" and, therein, the power adapter _output_
    ratings.  Or look for the power ratings on the device itself.

       3.2A would seem to be enough for a device which needs 1.5A.  I can't
    guarantee that the connector is the same, but I'd expect so.

       Yet more evidence, if any were needed, that it can pay to read before
    writing.  But thanks again for the useless "My Setup" data and the
    animated icon.
