APC Smart-UPS SMT3000RM2UC 3000VA LCD RM 2U 120V with SmartConnect

Product Overview

The APC Smart-UPS SMT3000RM2UC is a 3000VA / 2700W line-interactive rackmount UPS with SmartConnect cloud monitoring, designed for commercial AV integrators and IT teams requiring maximum capacity in a standard 2U rack footprint. This unit protects high-draw AV rack systems, rack servers, and critical network infrastructure in boardrooms, data centers, and all-hands rooms where power interruptions have significant operational impact. Pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with the full range of active PFC power supplies used in professional AV and IT equipment.

Product Description

The SMT3000RM2UC addresses high-density rack deployments where a single UPS must protect multiple high-draw devices — video distribution amplifiers, 4K switching systems, rack servers, and managed core switches. SmartConnect cloud integration delivers remote monitoring and real-time alerts via APC's cloud platform, a key requirement for managed AV service contracts and facilities management teams responsible for multiple locations. The front-panel LCD provides at-a-glance status of load levels, battery health, estimated runtime, and power quality without requiring a laptop or management software on-site. Automatic voltage regulation handles brownouts and overvoltages continuously, protecting equipment between utility fluctuations that are common in commercial buildings. The 2U chassis installs in any standard 19-inch rack and ships with all required mounting hardware. Hot-swappable battery modules support planned replacement without equipment downtime, critical for 24/7 commercial AV and broadcast environments.
