Eaton SM3000RMXL2UTAA – 3000VA 2U Rackmount UPS, TAA

Product Overview

The Eaton SM3000RMXL2UTAA is a 3000VA/2880W line-interactive UPS built into a space-efficient 2U rackmount chassis, making it well suited as a rack-mount UPS for AV rack deployments in conference rooms, data closets, and network equipment rooms. This 3000VA 2U rackmount UPS TAA compliant unit is engineered for organizations that need federal procurement compliance alongside network-grade power protection for servers, switches, and AV control equipment. Built-in automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects brownouts and overvoltages instantly, without switching to battery, which is valuable for a commercial UPS battery backup installation in facilities with unstable utility power. An enhanced LCD interface reports UPS operating status and site power conditions directly on the front panel for quick diagnostics during a service call.

Product Description

The SM3000RMXL2UTAA occupies just 2U of vertical rack space, allowing AV integrators to fit meaningful battery backup capacity into a densely populated commercial AV rack alongside DSPs, network switches, and video distribution equipment. AVR actively corrects both brownouts and overvoltage conditions back to usable levels while maintaining a full battery charge, reducing wear on the internal battery compared to units that switch to battery for every minor fluctuation. Switchover from utility line power to battery occurs within milliseconds, protecting sensitive equipment from a hard power interruption. The unit operates at up to 96 percent efficiency in line-interactive mode, which reduces heat generation inside an equipment rack and lowers ongoing operating costs. Network management options include USB and RS-232 connectivity as standard, with an optional slot for a network management card for organizations that need SNMP-based remote monitoring across a facility. Because this is a line-interactive UPS for conference room rack and data closet applications, it is a common fit for AV integrators specifying rack-mounted power protection behind a codec, matrix switcher, or control processor. As a TAA-compliant, GSA-schedule-eligible UPS, it is also frequently specified for government and education commercial UPS battery backup installation projects that require Trade Agreements Act sourcing documentation.
