Eaton 5PX1000RTG2 – 2U Rack-Mount Line-Interactive UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 5PX1000RTG2 is a 2U, 1000VA line-interactive UPS designed specifically as a rack-mount UPS for AV rack and IT rack deployments. It ships with eight 5-15R outlets fed from a 5-15P input, giving integrators enough outlets to protect switchers, DSPs, and network gear from a single 2U slot. As a line-interactive UPS for AV rack applications, it offers automatic voltage regulation and expandable battery capacity, making it a strong option for a commercial UPS battery backup installation in equipment racks and data closets.

Product Description

The 5PX1000RTG2 occupies just 2U of rack space and is rated 1000 VA / 1000 W, delivering a full watt-for-VA output that is helpful when sizing loads for AV racks with mixed switching and processing equipment. Line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation corrects minor sags and surges without switching to battery, reducing wear on the internal sealed lead-acid batteries. The unit ships in a form ready for rack rail mounting, and Eaton also offers a ship-in-rack option for integrators building out pre-configured AV or IT racks at a staging facility before delivery. Eight 5-15R outlets fed from a single 5-15P, 10-foot input cord allow flexible cable routing within a rack cabinet. For sites that need more runtime, the battery is expandable with up to four extended battery modules, letting an AV rack UPS scale from a short ride-through to extended backup as project requirements evolve. At 98 percent efficiency and backed by a 3-year warranty on electronics and batteries with registration, the 5PX1000RTG2 is a dependable rack-mount UPS for data closet and AV equipment room deployments where uptime for commercial AV racks is a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the 5PX1000RTG2 fit in a standard 19-inch AV rack?

Yes. It is built as a 2U rack-mount unit designed for standard 19-inch rack rails commonly used in commercial AV and IT racks.

Can I extend the runtime beyond the internal battery?

Yes. The unit supports up to four extended battery modules, allowing integrators to scale runtime for applications that need longer backup than the base configuration provides.

Is this UPS compatible with ship-in-rack integration?

Yes. Eaton offers a ship-in-rack option so integrators can pre-install this UPS into a rack assembly during staging before delivery to the job site.

How many devices can I connect to this UPS?
