Eaton 5P1000RC – Compact 2U Rack-Mount UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 5P1000RC is a 1000VA/770W line-interactive UPS built into a compact 2U rack-mount UPS for AV equipment racks in conference rooms, huddle rooms, and small data closets. It functions as a compact UPS for conference room rack deployments where space is limited but reliable power for switches, DSPs, and control processors is not optional. Integrators handling a commercial UPS battery backup installation for a single rack of AV or networking gear will find the 16-inch depth and 10-outlet layout well suited to shallow or mid-depth enclosures. The unit's true sine wave output and short-depth chassis make it a practical rack-mount battery backup for AV closet spaces where a full-size UPS would not fit.

Product Description

The 5P1000RC is a line-interactive UPS designed for small business, education, retail, financial, and healthcare networking environments, which overlaps heavily with commercial AV rack use cases such as boardroom control racks and huddle room equipment closets. It delivers 1000VA/770W of protected power, roughly 20 percent more usable wattage than comparable UPS systems in its class, which matters when a rack houses a PoE switch, a control processor, and a wireless access point on a single circuit. Its valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery lets connected equipment ride through short blips without a shutdown and provides enough runtime during a longer outage to save open files and power down gracefully. At just 3.4 inches tall and 16 inches deep, the 2U chassis fits shallow wall-mount and half-depth racks common in conference room AV closets, unlike larger data-center UPS units. Ten 5-15R outlets support a mix of low-voltage AV and networking devices from a single unit, and included USB and RS-232 cables allow integration with server or control system shutdown scripts. For AV integrators specifying a rack-mount battery backup for AV closet installations where footprint and budget both matter, the 5P1000RC balances runtime, outlet count, and physical size effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the 5P1000RC fit a shallow wall-mount conference room rack?

Yes, at 16 inches of depth it fits many shallow and half-depth racks used in conference room and huddle room AV closets where full-size UPS units will not fit.

How many devices can I connect to this UPS?

It provides ten 5-15R outlets, enough for a control processor, network switch, wireless access point, and other low-voltage AV components on one circuit.

Does this UPS support automated shutdown integration?

Yes, included USB and RS-232 cables allow integration with server or control system shutdown software for orderly power-down during extended outages.

What is the difference between this and a standard consumer UPS?

The 5P1000RC is a commercial-grade, rack-mountable line-interactive UPS designed for continuous duty in equipment racks, with roughly 20 percent more usable wattage than typical UPS units in its class.

What warranty applies to the batteries?

Batteries carry a 3-year warranty when the unit is registered with Eaton, in addition to the standard 3-year electronics coverage.

Can this unit be installed by an AV integrator without an electrician?

Yes, it uses a standard 5-15P plug and connects to an existing 120V circuit, so no dedicated electrical work is typically required.

Can Creation Networks help determine if this UPS is correctly sized for my rack?

Yes, our team can review your connected AV and networking load to confirm the 5P1000RC provides adequate capacity and runtime for your installation.
