Eaton SM5000RT3UTAA – 5000VA Rackmount UPS with AVR, TAA

Product Overview

The Eaton SM5000RT3UTAA is a 5000VA/4000W line-interactive UPS built for commercial AV racks, data closets, and government facilities that require a rack-mount UPS for AV rack power protection with strict federal procurement compliance. As a TAA/GSA compliant UPS system, it converts raw 208V AC input into fully regulated dual 208V/120V output, allowing simultaneous protection of both high-voltage and low-voltage equipment on the same commercial AV rack. This unit is a strong fit for organizations that need a 5000VA rackmount UPS TAA compliant solution for server racks, broadcast equipment racks, or networking closets tied to federal contracts. True sine wave output guarantees compatibility with sensitive processing equipment found in modern AV and IT deployments.

Product Description

The SM5000RT3UTAA is a tower/rackmount convertible UPS, with the power module and battery pack each occupying 3U of rack space (6U combined) in rack configuration. This makes it suitable for integration into a standard AV rack alongside amplifiers, video processors, and network switches without consuming excessive vertical rack space. The unit includes 14 total outlets, with 8 individually controllable via software so integrators can selectively reboot remote equipment or shed non-critical loads to extend runtime on critical gear during an outage. Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects brownouts and overvoltage conditions without switching to battery, preserving battery life in installations with unstable utility power. Because the SM5000RT3UTAA is TAA/GSA compliant, it is commonly specified for commercial UPS battery backup installation projects tied to government, education, and other federally funded facilities. The unit supports USB, RS-232, and an optional network management card slot, giving facilities managers remote visibility into rack-mounted power infrastructure. This is a line-interactive UPS for data closet, server room, and AV equipment room deployments where dual-voltage output and extended-run battery expansion capability are required. Integrators working on multi-rack commercial builds frequently pair this class of UPS with additional external battery packs to extend runtime for critical broadcast or conferencing infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SM5000RT3UTAA compliant for government and GSA procurement?

Yes. The SM5000RT3UTAA is manufactured to meet the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) and is eligible for purchase under GSA Schedule contracts.

Can this UPS be rack-mounted into a standard 19-inch AV or server rack?

Yes. In rack configuration the power module and battery pack each occupy 3U, for a total of 6U, and the unit ships convertible between tower and rackmount orientations.

Does it support both 120V and 208V equipment in the same rack?

Yes. The unit converts 208V AC input into fully regulated dual 208V/120V output, so both high-voltage and low-voltage rack equipment can be protected simultaneously.

Can I extend the runtime for critical equipment?

Yes. Eight of the fourteen outlets can be individually controlled via software to shed non-critical loads and extend runtime for priority equipment during an outage.

What is the warranty on this unit?

Contact Creation Networks for current manufacturer warranty terms on this model, as coverage details vary by purchase channel and registration status.

How is this UPS monitored remotely in a commercial AV rack?

The unit provides USB and RS-232 connections along with an optional network management card slot for integration with facility-wide remote power monitoring systems.

Who can help with installation and rack integration?

Creation Networks' team can assist AV integrators and IT/facilities managers with sizing, rack layout, and installation planning for this UPS.
