Eaton SMART1000RMXL2U – 1000VA 2U Rack-Mount UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1000RMXL2U is a 1000VA/1000W line-interactive rack-mount UPS for AV rack and network-grade power protection in commercial installations. Built in a 2U rack/tower form factor, it supports optional 48V extended battery packs for longer runtime on AV control processors, switches, and matrix routers during outages. Eight outlets, an LCD display, and USB, serial, and network card connectivity make it a practical commercial UPS battery backup installation for conference room AV racks, data closets, and telecom rooms. AVR and pure sine wave output protect sensitive AV and IT equipment from sags, surges, and brownouts without switching to battery for every minor fluctuation.

Product Description

This line-interactive UPS for AV control racks delivers 1000VA/1000W of protected power through eight outlets split into two switchable banks, letting technicians remotely power-cycle a locked-up AV processor or network switch through the optional network interface card. AVR corrects input voltage sags and surges in real time, so the unit rides through minor fluctuations without pulling from the battery, which extends battery life in buildings with noisy electrical service. The 2-line front-panel LCD cycles through ten status screens covering load level, runtime estimate, and input/output voltage, giving on-site technicians a quick health check without opening a laptop. RS-232, USB, and DB9 ports support integration with UPS monitoring software and building automation systems for scheduled or unattended shutdown. Because the SMART1000RMXL2U mounts in 2U of rack space and also functions as a tower unit, it fits equally well in a full AV equipment rack, a compact credenza rack in a conference room, or a data closet alongside network switches. The design supports optional 48V extended battery packs for sites that need longer runtime than the internal battery alone provides, which is a common requirement for a network-grade UPS for data closet rack deployments protecting mission-critical AV and IT gear. ENERGY STAR 2.0 certification and pure sine wave output round out the profile for commercial installations where power quality matters as much as backup time.

Key Features

• 1000VA / 1000W Capacity — Powers an AV control processor, network switch, and matrix router simultaneously through an outage.

• Training room AV racks supporting displays and audio DSPs

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this UPS extend runtime with an external battery pack?

Yes, the SMART1000RMXL2U supports optional 48V external battery packs for sites that need longer backup time than the internal battery provides, which is common in AV racks running control processors and network gear continuously.

Does this UPS fit a standard 19-inch AV equipment rack?

Yes, it is built as a 2U rack/tower unit with mounting hardware included, so it installs directly into a standard 19-inch AV or network rack, or can be used as a freestanding tower.

Can the outlets be remotely power-cycled?

Two of the eight outlets are on switchable banks that can be power-cycled remotely through an optional network interface card, which is useful for rebooting a locked-up AV processor without a site visit.

What connectivity options are available for monitoring?

The unit includes RS-232, USB, and DB9 ports for connecting to UPS monitoring software, enabling automated alerts and unattended shutdown of connected AV and IT equipment.

What is the warranty coverage?

Eaton backs the SMART1000RMXL2U with a 3-year factory warranty when registered, covering parts, electronics, and batteries.

Is this UPS suitable for a shared conference room AV closet?

Yes, its compact 2U footprint and quiet operation make it a practical fit for AV equipment closets in boardrooms, huddle rooms, and training rooms where rack space is limited.
