Eaton 9PX3000RTN-L – 2U Lithium-Ion Rack UPS 3000VA

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX3000RTN-L is a 2U rack-mount online double-conversion UPS rated 3000VA/2700W, built around lithium iron phosphate battery technology for locations that are difficult to access or infrequently maintained. As a lithium-ion rack UPS 3000VA, it's designed for a commercial UPS battery backup installation in education, financial, healthcare, or commercial networking environments protecting Cisco switches, servers, and rack-mount AV control equipment. Integrators looking for a low-maintenance rack UPS for data closet deployments benefit from its long battery service life and reduced need for on-site battery replacement.

Product Description

The 9PX3000RTN-L is a 2U rack-mount online double-conversion UPS that provides reliable AC power protection against blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise capable of damaging valuable IT equipment or corrupting data. What sets this model apart is its Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chemistry, which is engineered for up to a 10-year service life and delivers 80% to 120% more runtime at full load than an equivalent lead-acid UPS of the same size. That makes it a strong choice as a lithium ion UPS for AV rack or IT closet installations in locations that are difficult to access or infrequently maintained, since it is designed as a genuine set-it-and-forget-it solution. The unit accepts a NEMA L5-30P input and distributes power through six NEMA 5-20R outlets plus one L5-30R outlet, all regulated to ±1% steady-state output voltage. Batteries are hot-swappable with an integrated battery management system that actively regulates temperature, extending service life further in warm equipment rooms or poorly ventilated data closets. An included Gigabit Network Card (NETWORK-M3) provides remote monitoring and management, letting facilities and IT staff track battery health, load, and alarms without a site visit. The 2U form factor and L5-30P input make it a practical fit for networking racks in education, financial, healthcare, and general commercial environments running Cisco switches, servers, and other rack-mount AV and IT equipment.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What input connection does the 9PX3000RTN-L require, and is it compatible with standard commercial electrical wiring?

It requires a NEMA L5-30P input connection. Confirm your electrical panel or rack power whip has a matching L5-30R receptacle before installation, or coordinate with your electrician for the correct twist-lock outlet.

Can this UPS be installed in a standard 19-inch AV or network rack?

Yes, it is a 2U rack-mount unit sized for standard 19-inch rack rails, commonly used in networking and commercial AV equipment racks.

Why choose a lithium-ion UPS over a traditional lead-acid model for this application?

The LiFePO4 battery chemistry provides up to a 10-year service life and 80-120% more runtime at full load than an equivalent lead-acid UPS, reducing the frequency of battery replacement, which is especially valuable for equipment in hard-to-access locations.

Does the battery need to be replaced by a technician, or can facilities staff do it?

Batteries are hot-swappable, meaning they can be replaced without powering down connected equipment, and the integrated battery management system actively regulates temperature to extend service life.

What remote monitoring options are included?

The unit ships with an included Gigabit Network Card (NETWORK-M3) for remote monitoring and management, allowing IT and facilities staff to check status without a site visit.

What is the warranty coverage on the 9PX3000RTN-L?

It includes a 5-year limited warranty covering parts, electronics, and batteries with standard ground shipping.

Is this UPS a good fit for Cisco switches and other networking equipment in a commercial rack?

Yes, it is specifically suited for education, commercial, financial, and healthcare networking components including Cisco switches and servers, as well as rack-mount AV control equipment sharing the same rack.
