It pairs directly with Eaton 9PX G2 UPS systems in the 3kVA to 6kVA range, making it a core component of a resilient data center and network closet power protection design. Integrators specifying a rack-mount maintenance bypass for a 9PX G2 deployment use this unit to route load through a manual bypass path without dropping power to connected equipment. It installs behind the UPS in a standard equipment rack, keeping the front-of-rack footprint unchanged in server room and network closet installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MBP6K208G2 is an Eaton 9PX G2 maintenance bypass accessory designed to let facilities and IT teams service a 3kVA to 6kVA UPS without interrupting power to the load. During UPS maintenance, battery replacement, or firmware updates, the bypass switch routes utility power directly to connected equipment, so critical infrastructure in a server room or data center stays online. The unit mounts in a 0U rear-mount configuration, meaning it does not consume front rack space, which matters in dense network closet and data center rack layouts where every rack unit is accounted for. Output is provided through two NEMA L6-20R and two NEMA L6-30R receptacles, plus a hardwired output option, giving integrators flexibility when terminating to PDUs, downstream equipment, or hardwired branch circuits. Input accepts either an L6-30P plug or a hardwired connection, so electrical contractors can match the bypass to existing wiring during a commercial UPS installation. The unit ships with a rack mounting kit and cable glands, simplifying integration into new or existing rack elevations. Because the bypass carries the full 6kVA\/6kW output capacity of the paired 9PX G2 UPS at 208V, 220V, 230V, or 240V nominal output, it is suited to mixed-voltage commercial and international deployments. This maintenance bypass is a practical addition for any data center, network closet, or server room build-out where planned maintenance cannot be allowed to interrupt uptime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0U Rear-Mount Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Installs behind the UPS in the rack without consuming additional front rack units, preserving space in dense data center and network closet elevations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance Without Downtime\u003c\/strong\u003e — Routes load through a manual bypass path during UPS servicing, battery replacement, or firmware updates so connected equipment stays powered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Output Termination\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two NEMA L6-20R and two NEMA L6-30R outlets plus a hardwired output option support PDUs, rack equipment, or direct hardwired circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Input Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e — Accepts an L6-30P plug or hardwired input, matching the unit to existing branch circuit wiring during commercial installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Voltage Output Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports nominal output voltages of 208V, 220V, 230V, and 240V at 50\/60 Hz for broad commercial and international compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull 6kVA\/6kW Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rated to carry the full output capacity of paired Eaton 9PX G2 UPS systems in the 3kVA to 6kVA range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Mounting Kit Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ships with rack mounting hardware and cable glands for a clean commercial installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3-Year Limited Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — Backed by Eaton's 3-year limited warranty covering parts and electronics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork closet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServer room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMBP6K208G2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible UPS Systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEaton 9PX G2, 3kVA to 6kVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0U, rear-mount, rack mounting kit included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (D x H x W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.92 in x 5.12 in x 9.41 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.61 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL6-30P plug or hardwired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(2) NEMA L6-20R, (2) NEMA L6-30R, hardwired output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6000 VA \/ 6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Output Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208V, 220V, 230V, 240V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 \/ 60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelative Humidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-95%, non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE Marked, cULus Listed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-year limited (parts, electronics, batteries)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhich UPS systems is the MBP6K208G2 compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MBP6K208G2 is designed for Eaton 9PX G2 UPS systems in the 3kVA to 6kVA range.
