Eaton 9PX5KP1G2 – 5000VA Online Double-Conversion Rack UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX5KP1G2 is a 5000VA/5000W online double-conversion UPS built for commercial AV racks, data closets, and edge network installations that cannot tolerate power interruptions. As a 5000VA rack-mount UPS, it delivers continuous, regulated 208/120V power to servers, matrix switchers, DSPs, and networking gear housed in a shared equipment rack. This unit is a strong fit anywhere a commercial UPS battery backup installation must run unattended for extended periods, since the online double-conversion UPS for AV rack topology isolates connected equipment from surges, sags, and line noise at all times, not just during an outage. Facilities and AV integrators specifying a 208V rack UPS for IT room deployments will find the 9PX G2 platform matches the reliability expectations of mission-critical AV and IT infrastructure.

Product Description

The 9PX5KP1G2 is a 6U rack/tower unit that fits standard 19-inch AV and IT racks alongside amplifiers, video processors, and network switches. Because it uses true online double-conversion topology, output power is regenerated continuously from a DC bus rather than switching to battery only when a disturbance is detected, which is the design integrators look for in a double-conversion UPS for server rack applications supporting recording, streaming, or control infrastructure. The unit ships configured for 208V input with an L6-30P cord and provides a mix of 5-20R, L6-30R, and L14-30R output receptacles, giving flexibility to power both 120V and 208V AV or IT loads from a single chassis. A NETWORK-M3 Gigabit card is included, allowing remote monitoring and SNMP alerting from a NOC or building automation system, which matters for a high-density UPS for network rack deployment supporting distributed AV endpoints. At full 5000W load the internal battery bridges roughly 3.5 minutes, extending to about 9.4 minutes at half load, enough time for a generator transfer or an orderly shutdown sequence. Rated at up to 96 percent efficiency, the unit runs cooler and reduces the cooling burden inside enclosed AV racks or data closets. This is the class of hardware Creation Networks specifies for commercial deployments where downtime directly affects a room's usability, from centralized AV head-ends to network-dependent conferencing systems.

Key Features

• Online Double-Conversion Topology — Output power is continuously regenerated rather than switched, so connected AV and IT equipment sees a stable sine wave with zero transfer time during a utility event.
• 5000VA/5000W Capacity — Supports a fully loaded AV or IT rack, including servers, switches, matrix processors, and control systems, without derating concerns common to smaller UPS units.
• Flexible 208/120V Output — Mixed 5-20R, L6-30R, and L14-30R receptacles let a single unit power both standard 120V AV gear and higher-voltage IT equipment.
• Included NETWORK-M3 Card — Provides SNMP/web-based remote monitoring so facilities staff can track UPS health without physically visiting the rack.
• 96 Percent Efficiency — Reduces heat generation and operating cost inside enclosed racks or climate-controlled data closets.
• 6U Rack/Tower Form Factor — Mounts in a standard 19-inch rack or stands independently, fitting typical commercial AV equipment room layouts.
• 3-Year Limited Warranty — Backed by Eaton's standard commercial coverage for parts and electronics.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio equipment racks requiring continuous, clean power for recording and transmission gear
• Auditorium AV head-ends where centralized racks distribute audio, video, and control signal to the room
• Government space equipment rooms where uptime and remote monitoring are compliance requirements
• Commercial meeting space installations with centralized AV racks serving multiple connected rooms

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 9PX5KP1G2 compatible with a standard 19-inch AV or IT rack?

Yes, it mounts in a standard 19-inch rack using its 6U rack/tower chassis, and it can also stand independently if rack space is limited.

Can this UPS support a mixed 120V and 208V AV rack?

Yes, the unit provides both 5-20R 120V outlets and L6-30R/L14-30R higher-voltage receptacles, allowing a single UPS to serve both 120V AV equipment and 208V IT loads.

Does installation require an electrician?

Because the unit uses an L6-30P plug and 208V input, a qualified electrician should confirm the receptacle and circuit match before installation, particularly in commercial buildings.

How does this UPS integrate with a building's network monitoring system?

The included NETWORK-M3 card provides SNMP and web-based monitoring, so facilities or IT staff can track load, battery status, and alarms from existing network management tools.

What warranty coverage applies to this unit?

Eaton backs the 9PX5KP1G2 with a 3-year limited warranty covering parts and electronics.

How much runtime should I expect during an outage?

At full 5000W load, expect approximately 3.5 minutes of runtime; at half load, runtime extends to roughly 9.4 minutes, which is typically sufficient to bridge a generator transfer or shut down connected systems safely.

Can Creation Networks help size this UPS for my AV rack's total load?

Yes, our team can review your rack's connected equipment and power draw to confirm this unit is correctly sized, or recommend an alternative model from the Eaton 9PX line.
