Eaton SU6000RT – 3U 208V Online UPS with L6 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton SU6000RT is a 3U rack-mount online UPS delivering 6000VA/5400W at 208V, purpose-built for commercial AV racks, broadcast equipment rooms, and data closets running high-draw amplifiers, video processors, and networking gear. As a 3U rack UPS 6000VA 208V solution, it provides true double-conversion power protection with L6-20R and L6-30R outlets to match heavy commercial and industrial load plugs. This is a strong fit for a commercial UPS battery backup installation supporting a rack full of amplifiers, matrix switchers, or server infrastructure that cannot tolerate voltage sag or a hard transfer to battery.

Product Description

The SU6000RT operates on true online double-conversion topology, so connected loads see zero transfer time when utility power fails, an important spec for a rack-mount UPS for AV rack installations feeding amplifiers, DSP processors, or broadcast switching gear that cannot afford even a brief power gap. The unit ships in a 3U rack/tower configuration and outputs 208V by default, with configurable output from 200V to 240V to match the specific equipment in an AV or IT rack. Two L6-20R and two L6-30R receptacles plus a hardwired output connection accommodate mixed high-current loads common in commercial installations, from rack-mount power amplifiers to server chassis. Runtime can be extended well beyond the standard 3-minute full-load figure with up to four BP180RT extended battery modules, letting integrators size backup time to match generator start-up delay or graceful shutdown windows in a data closet or equipment room. A pre-installed WEBCARDLXE network card provides SNMP and web-based remote monitoring, so facilities staff can track load, battery health, and alarms across multiple racks from a single dashboard. At 93% efficiency under maximum load, the unit keeps operating costs down for continuously running commercial-grade installations. True sine wave output and 50/60 Hz frequency support give integrators flexibility across mixed-equipment environments.

Key Features

• Government space equipment rooms with high-current AV and networking loads
• Auditorium and multi-purpose room technical racks supporting sound reinforcement systems

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What outlet types does the SU6000RT support, and will it work with my existing AV rack power distribution?

The unit provides two L6-20R and two L6-30R receptacles plus a hardwired output option. Confirm your amplifiers, PDUs, or server power cords use matching NEMA L6-series plugs, or plan for a compatible whip if your rack uses hardwired distribution.

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

Yes. The SU6000RT ships in a 3U rack/tower configuration compatible with standard 19-inch rack rails, and it can also run as a freestanding tower unit if rack space is limited.

How much runtime can I expect, and can it be extended?

At full load, expect approximately 3 minutes of runtime; at half load, approximately 8 minutes. Runtime can be extended with up to four BP180RT extended battery modules for installations that need longer bridge time to a generator or for graceful equipment shutdown.

Does the SU6000RT support remote monitoring for a NOC or facilities team?

Yes. It ships with a pre-installed WEBCARDLXE network management card that provides SNMP and web-based monitoring, allowing IT and facilities staff to track load, battery status, and alarms remotely across multiple units.

What is the warranty coverage on this unit?

The SU6000RT includes a 2-year factory warranty covering parts, electronics, and batteries, with 5-year extended service plans available for commercial deployments requiring longer coverage.

Is this UPS suitable for a boardroom or conference room AV system, or is it intended only for data centers?

It works well in both contexts. The 208V configurable output and L6-series outlets make it a common choice for high-draw AV racks in boardrooms, auditoriums, and broadcast studios, as well as for IT and data closet infrastructure.

Can Creation Networks help size the right UPS and battery configuration for my installation?

Yes, our team can review your rack's total load, required runtime, and outlet requirements to confirm the SU6000RT configuration and any additional battery modules needed before you order.
