Eaton 9PX8KMG2 – 8000VA 208V Rack-Mount Online UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX8KMG2 is an 8000VA/8000W, 208V online double-conversion UPS built for commercial AV racks, broadcast facilities, and data closets that cannot tolerate a power interruption. As an 8kVA rack-mount online UPS, it provides continuous, regulated power to switchers, DSPs, codecs, and networking gear even during blackouts, brownouts, surges, or line noise. Integrators specifying a high-capacity UPS for a commercial AV rack rely on this class of hardware for double-conversion UPS protection where zero transfer time matters, and it also serves as a rack-mount UPS for broadcast studio and edge-computing deployments that demand dense, reliable backup power.

Product Description

The 9PX8KMG2 belongs to Eaton's 9PX G2 family of online double-conversion UPS systems, engineered for distributed IT and edge network environments where continuous, clean power is non-negotiable. Because it runs in true online mode, connected equipment is isolated from raw utility power at all times, so there is no switchover delay when utility power fails — a critical distinction for an 8kVA rack-mount UPS supporting live broadcast, streaming, or command-center AV systems. The unit occupies a 4U rack or tower footprint and terminates through hardwired input with (4) hardwired L6-30R output receptacles, making it suitable for centralized power distribution to an entire AV or IT rack rather than individual point-of-use outlets. Hot-swappable internal batteries allow maintenance without powering down connected loads, and the unit supports external battery modules for extended runtime when facilities need more than the roughly 102 minutes of backup available at light load from the internal battery alone. This is the kind of commercial UPS battery backup installation integrators spec for master control rooms, large training rooms, government AV rooms, and multi-rack data closets feeding conference room and auditorium systems throughout a facility. Network management cards (sold separately) enable remote monitoring and orderly shutdown integration with rack PDUs and building management systems, which matters for facilities teams managing multiple AV racks across a campus.

Key Features

• Online Double-Conversion Topology — Continuously regenerates output power so connected AV and IT equipment never experiences a transfer gap during a utility outage.
• 8000VA/8000W Capacity — Delivers enough headroom to support a fully loaded AV rack, edge server cluster, or broadcast production rack from a single UPS.
• Hot-Swappable Batteries — Batteries can be replaced without shutting down connected loads, minimizing downtime for critical commercial systems.
• High Efficiency Mode — Reaches up to 99% efficiency in high-efficiency mode, reducing operating costs and heat load in equipment racks.
• 4U Rack/Tower Form Factor — Fits standard 19-inch rack enclosures used in AV racks, data closets, and broadcast equipment rooms.
• Hardwired Output Distribution — Four L6-30R hardwired outlets support high-draw commercial equipment without relying on plug-strip daisy chains.
• Expandable Runtime — Supports external battery modules so integrators can scale runtime to match facility requirements.
• 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty — Backed by Eaton's standard commercial warranty coverage for long-term reliability.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio
• Auditorium
• Government space
• Training room
• Multi-purpose room

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 9PX8KMG2 be integrated with existing AV rack power distribution?

Yes. It is hardwired on input and terminates through four L6-30R outlets, which integrators typically feed into downstream rack PDUs to distribute regulated, backed-up power to individual AV and IT devices.

Does this UPS require an electrician for installation?

Because both the input and output connections are hardwired, installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local electrical code, not simply plugged in like a consumer UPS.

How much runtime can I expect for my AV rack load?

At approximately 10% load the internal battery provides roughly 102 minutes of runtime; heavier loads shorten this significantly, so integrators should size load and optional external battery modules to the required ride-through time.

Is remote monitoring available for facilities management?

Yes, the 9PX G2 platform accepts optional network management cards that allow remote monitoring, SNMP alerts, and coordinated shutdown, which is useful for facilities teams overseeing multiple AV racks.

What warranty does Creation Networks provide on this unit?

The 9PX8KMG2 carries Eaton's standard 3-year manufacturer warranty; contact Creation Networks for extended warranty and service options.

Can this UPS scale with future AV rack expansion?

Yes, the platform supports external battery modules to extend runtime as load or backup-time requirements grow, without replacing the base UPS unit.

Is this unit appropriate for a single conference room, or is it oversized?

An 8kVA unit is generally sized for larger AV racks, master control rooms, or multiple consolidated racks rather than a single small conference room; contact Creation Networks to confirm proper sizing for your space.
