APC Smart-UPS SMT3000C 3000VA LCD 120V with SmartConnect

Product Overview

The APC Smart-UPS SMT3000C is a 3000VA / 2700W tower UPS with SmartConnect cloud monitoring, providing the highest capacity in the Smart-UPS tower line for commercial AV and IT deployments in non-rack environments. This unit is designed for technology closets, large conference rooms, and all-hands spaces where significant equipment loads require reliable battery backup without rack infrastructure. Pure sine wave output, automatic voltage regulation, and cloud monitoring make it the preferred choice for high-capacity commercial AV power protection.

Product Description

The SMT3000C delivers 2700W of protected power to commercial AV and IT equipment from a tower chassis — suitable for technology closets supporting multiple rooms, large AV systems with high-draw processing equipment, and environments where a rack is not present. SmartConnect cloud monitoring enables remote status checks and proactive battery alerts, reducing the need for on-site UPS inspection in facilities with distributed AV installations. The LCD front panel gives immediate visibility into load, runtime, battery charge, and power quality — information critical during commissioning and routine maintenance. Automatic voltage regulation protects connected equipment from the brownouts and overvoltages common in commercial building electrical systems without using battery capacity. Ten NEMA 5-20R outlets provide sufficient coverage for the full complement of equipment in a large commercial AV installation. Hot-swappable batteries support planned maintenance without requiring a system shutdown, an essential feature for 24/7 commercial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SMT3000C the right UPS for a technology closet serving multiple conference rooms?

Yes. At 3000VA / 2700W, the SMT3000C can handle the combined load of network switching, patch panels, AV distribution equipment, and control systems serving multiple meeting spaces.

What is the rackmount equivalent?

The SMT3000RM2UC provides the same capacity in a 2U rack chassis for deployments with 19-inch equipment racks.

Can multiple SMT3000C units be monitored centrally?

Yes. APC SmartConnect supports centralized monitoring of multiple UPS units from a single cloud dashboard.
