Eaton 9PX8KTF5G2 – 8kVA Rack UPS for Edge Networks

Product Overview

The Eaton 9PX8KTF5G2 is an 8kVA/8kW online double-conversion UPS built for distributed IT and edge network deployments, including larger AV racks that combine switching, processing, and display infrastructure. As a 208/120V UPS for edge networks, it delivers true sine wave output with no transfer time, positioning it as a dependable rack-mount UPS for AV rack rooms that require enterprise-grade backup power. At 7U, it fits a commercial UPS battery backup installation in a data closet or centralized AV equipment room serving multiple downstream zones.

Product Description

The 9PX8KTF5G2 is rated 8 kVA / 8 kW with a 208V default input that can be configured across 200/208/220/230/240V, and delivers 120/240V output through eighteen 5-20R outlets and three L6-30R outlets, giving integrators flexibility to serve a wide range of connected AV and IT equipment from a single UPS. As an online double-conversion system, the load runs continuously off the inverter, so switching, control processors, and display infrastructure never experience a transfer gap during a utility disturbance. Housed in a 7U rack/tower chassis, it fits into a centralized AV rack room or data closet serving multiple rooms or zones in a facility such as a broadcast studio or auditorium. Full-load runtime is 5.4 minutes, extending to 8.3 minutes at half load, which is typical for online UPS systems designed primarily to ride through short outages and bridge to generator power rather than provide extended standalone runtime; sites needing longer backup should plan for external battery expansion. The unit ships with a NETWORK-M3 gigabit network card for remote monitoring and management, hardwired input connection for permanent commercial installation, and operates at up to 96.5 percent efficiency at maximum load, reducing heat load in the equipment room. A 3-year limited warranty covers parts, electronics, and batteries on this 8kVA online double-conversion UPS.
