Eaton SU1500LCD1U – 1U Rack Online Double-Conversion UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SU1500LCD1U is a 1U rack-mount online UPS built for commercial AV racks, data closets, and small network rooms that need continuous, regulated power for switches, DSPs, and control processors. As a true double-conversion design, it delivers zero transfer time between line and battery modes, making it a dependable rack-mount UPS for AV rack installations where even a momentary power interruption can drop a call or reset a matrix switcher. With 1440VA/1440W of capacity and five NEMA 5-15R outlets across two switchable banks, it functions as a commercial UPS battery backup installation for edge IT closets and AV equipment racks alike.

Product Description

This 100/120/127V on-line double-conversion UPS converts incoming AC to DC and reconverts it to a fully regulated, true sine wave AC output with ±3% voltage regulation in both line and battery modes. That level of output stability matters in a rack-mount UPS for AV rack applications, where sensitive DSP boards, network switches, and control processors are sensitive to voltage sag, surge, and noise. The unit ships in a standard 1U rack-mount chassis with included mounting hardware, so it drops directly into a conference room AV rack or a data closet without requiring a separate shelf. Two switchable outlet banks (2 outlets and 3 outlets) let integrators sequence non-critical loads separately from mission-critical gear, which is useful when balancing runtime across a mixed AV and networking rack. The front-panel LCD reports load, battery status, and input/output voltage at a glance, simplifying routine facilities checks in a data closet UPS battery backup deployment. Built-in USB and RS-232 ports support PowerChute-style monitoring software for graceful shutdown of connected servers or AV control systems, and an optional WEBCARDLXE network card adds SNMP/web-based remote monitoring for IT teams managing several racks from a central NOC. Unity power factor and 540 joules of surge suppression round out the protection profile for commercial-grade UPS deployments. This model is ENERGY STAR-certified for efficient standby operation.

Key Features

• True Online Double-Conversion Topology — Continuously regenerates output power so connected equipment never experiences a transfer delay when switching to battery.
• Compact 1U Rack-Mount Form Factor — Fits standard 19-inch AV or network racks without consuming excess rack unit space.
• Five NEMA 5-15R Outlets in Two Switchable Banks — Allows staged shutdown sequencing to extend runtime for priority loads.
• True Sine Wave Output — Matches utility power quality, which is important for switch-mode power supplies in AV and IT equipment.
• ±3% Voltage Regulation — Keeps output stable in both line and battery modes to protect sensitive electronics from sag and surge.
• USB and RS-232 Connectivity — Enables automated, unattended shutdown of connected servers and control systems during extended outages.
• Optional WEBCARDLXE Network Card — Adds SNMP/web remote monitoring for facilities and IT teams managing multiple UPS units.
• ENERGY STAR Certified — Reduces standby power draw for lower total cost of ownership in always-on installations.

Typical Applications

• Small conference room and huddle space AV racks requiring compact backup power
• Edge network closets protecting switches, DSPs, and control processors
• Corporate and education AV racks supporting matrix switchers and control systems
• Retail and hospitality equipment closets with limited rack space

Frequently Asked Questions

What outlets does the SU1500LCD1U provide, and will it work with standard AV rack equipment?

The unit includes five NEMA 5-15R outlets split across two switchable banks. Standard AV and network equipment power cords using NEMA 5-15P plugs connect directly without adapters.

Can this UPS be rack-mounted in a standard 19-inch AV or network rack?

Yes. The SU1500LCD1U ships in a 1U rack-mount chassis with mounting hardware included, so it installs directly into a standard 19-inch rack.

How long will connected equipment run on battery?

At full load, expect approximately 3 minutes of runtime; at half load, approximately 10 minutes. This is intended to bridge short outages or allow a graceful shutdown rather than extended standalone operation.

Does the SU1500LCD1U support remote monitoring?

Yes. Built-in USB and RS-232 ports support shutdown software for connected servers or control systems, and an optional WEBCARDLXE network card adds SNMP/web-based remote monitoring.

What is the warranty coverage on this unit?

The SU1500LCD1U includes a 2-year limited warranty, with 3- and 5-year extended plans available.

Can Creation Networks help confirm this UPS is sized correctly for my rack?

Yes, our team can review your rack's total load and outlet requirements to confirm the SU1500LCD1U is an appropriate fit before you order.
