Eaton 5P2200RT – 2U Rack-Mount Line-Interactive UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 5P2200RT is a 2U rack-mount UPS for AV rack, IT closet, and networking installations that need reliable line-interactive battery backup. It supports commercial UPS battery backup installation in small business, education, retail, financial, and healthcare environments protecting servers, VoIP phones, data storage, and PoE switches. With true sine wave output and eight 5-20R outlets, this 2U rack UPS for data closet deployments provides more usable wattage than comparably sized traditional UPS units, giving integrators headroom for growing equipment loads.

Product Description

The 5P2200RT is a line-interactive UPS for networking equipment rated at 1950 VA / 1920 W, delivering roughly 20 percent more usable wattage than many comparable traditional UPS designs in the same footprint. Its valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery modules bridge short power interruptions and give IT staff enough runtime to save open files and shut down connected systems safely during longer outages. The unit installs as a 2U rack-mount UPS for AV rack cabinets, network closets, or standalone tower configurations, and ships with tower pedestals, a USB cable, an RS-232 cable, and mounting hardware for either orientation. Eight 5-20R outlets on the rear panel provide ample connection points for switches, routers, NVRs, and AV control processors sharing the same rack. Because it is a small business UPS for VoIP and servers as well as commercial AV equipment, the 5P2200RT is a common fit for conference room equipment racks, digital signage controllers, and building management system racks where clean, regulated power is required. True sine wave output ensures compatibility with active PFC power supplies commonly found in modern networking and AV gear, avoiding the compatibility issues that simulated sine wave UPS units can cause.
