Comprehensive Power Protection
Automatic voltage regulation corrects brownouts without battery drain, while pure sine wave output and surge protection safeguard sensitive electronics from power quality issues.
Deployment / Use Cases
This 3kVA rackmount UPS is ideally suited for protecting critical infrastructure in space-constrained environments where reliable power is essential. Its 2U form factor makes it perfect for standard server racks in network closets, IDF/MDF rooms, and edge computing locations.
Typical applications include supporting small server clusters, virtualization hosts, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), network switches, routers, POS systems, and office equipment. The mixed outlet configuration allows simultaneous protection of high-power equipment via the L5-30R receptacle and standard devices through the six 5-20R outlets.
Edge Computing & Network Closets
Provides backup power for distributed IT infrastructure in remote locations with limited space, ensuring continuous operation of network equipment and edge servers.
Small Server Rooms & Back Offices
Protects physical servers, virtual machines, and critical business systems with sufficient runtime for graceful shutdown or continued operation during brief outages.
Physical Profile
Designed for standard 19-inch server racks, this UPS occupies 2U of vertical space with dimensions of 3.39" (86 mm) height, 17.01" (432 mm) width, and 26.89" (683 mm) depth. The black and silver finish matches typical data center aesthetics, while the 75.44 lb weight requires proper rack mounting with the included support rails and brackets.
