APC SMX3000HVNC Smart-UPS X 3000 Rack/Tower LCD - UPS - 2700 Watt - 3000 VA - with APC UPS Network Management Card AP9631

Product Overview

The APC Smart-UPS X SMX3000HVNC is a 3kVA line-interactive UPS that delivers conditioned, high-voltage backup power for rack and tower deployments. As a 3kVA line-interactive UPS, it combines automatic voltage regulation, pure sine wave output, and a factory-installed network card for remote AV and IT management. This APC Smart-UPS X model fits equipment rooms and AV racks running at 208V to 230V where extended runtime and remote monitoring matter. The rack/tower convertible chassis adapts to a range of installation environments.

Product Description

The SMX3000HVNC provides 3000VA / 2700W of output through a line-interactive design with automatic voltage regulation (AVR), correcting input sags and surges without switching to battery and conserving battery life for genuine outages. Output is pure sine wave, suited to the switch-mode power supplies in servers, AV processors, and networking gear. The chassis is rack/tower convertible in a 4U format, mounting in standard 19-inch racks or operating freestanding. It runs at 208V to 230V and distributes power through 8x IEC C13 and 2x IEC C19 outlets, serving a mix of standard and higher-draw devices. A factory-installed Network Management Card enables remote monitoring, control, and integration with management platforms, and PowerChute software coordinates graceful shutdown of connected systems. A front LCD presents status and configuration information for commissioning and service. Extended runtime is supported through compatible external battery packs, allowing the deployment to ride through longer interruptions where required.
