Eaton SMART1500RMXL2U – 1500VA Rack UPS, Extended Run

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1500RMXL2U is a 1440VA/1440W line-interactive UPS built for rack-mount UPS extended run applications where downtime for network, AV, or control equipment is not an option. Requiring only 2U of rack space, it is a practical fit for a commercial UPS battery backup installation in a conference room AV rack, network closet, or small server room. Eight managed 5-15R outlets, two of which are individually controllable, give integrators fine-grained control over connected load during an outage. The design accepts external battery packs for facilities that need runtime well beyond the internal battery's rating.

Product Description

The SMART1500RMXL2U is a line-interactive UPS for conference room racks, network closets, and small server rooms that need to prevent data loss, downtime, and equipment damage from voltage fluctuations and transient surges. Using only two rack spaces, it leaves more of a standard enclosure available for switches, DSPs, and control processors rather than power infrastructure. Internal batteries deliver roughly 30 minutes of runtime at half load and 12 minutes at full load, which covers most short utility outages without intervention. For facilities that need an extended run UPS for network closet applications beyond that window, the system accepts BP48V24-2U or BP48V60RT3U external battery packs to multiply available runtime. Eight total outlets are included, with one pair individually controllable through a software interface, allowing staff to power-cycle a hung device remotely without touching the rest of the connected load. A built-in accessory slot supports SNMP network management with an optional SNMPWEBCARD adapter, useful for facilities monitoring UPS health from a central network operations dashboard. As an expandable battery UPS for rack systems, this model is a common choice when a facility expects its runtime requirements to grow over time rather than committing to a larger UPS upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add external battery packs to extend the runtime?

Yes. The SMART1500RMXL2U accepts BP48V24-2U or BP48V60RT3U external battery packs, and up to four expansion units are supported for facilities requiring significantly longer runtime.

Will this UPS fit a standard AV or network rack?

Yes, it uses only 2U of vertical rack space in a standard 19-inch enclosure and can also be deployed as a freestanding tower using the included support stands.

Can individual outlets be controlled remotely?

Yes. One pair of the eight outlets is individually controllable through a software interface, allowing remote power-cycling of a single connected device.

Does this UPS support SNMP network monitoring?

Yes, a built-in accessory slot accepts an optional SNMPWEBCARD adapter for SNMP-based remote monitoring and management.

What is the warranty on this UPS?

It carries a 2-year warranty extendable to 3 years with registration, along with $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Is a battery pack sold separately for this model available at Creation Networks?

Yes. See the Eaton BP36V42-3U external battery pack, listed by Eaton as compatible with select SMART1500RMXL2U configurations, for extended runtime options.

Who do I contact to size this UPS for my rack's total load?

Contact Creation Networks for help calculating connected load, required runtime, and whether an external battery pack is recommended for your installation.
