Eaton 5PX UPS, L5-30P Input, Outputs: (6) 5-20R; (1) L5-30R, 120V, 2U, 3000 VA, 2700 W, True Sine Wave, Network Card Optional

Overview

The Eaton 5PX3000RT2U is a rack or tower uninterruptible power supply designed to provide reliable power protection for servers, networking equipment, and storage arrays. Delivering 3000 VA and 2700 W of true sine wave output, it ensures stable and clean power to keep critical systems running smoothly during power disturbances. Its line-interactive design corrects minor voltage fluctuations without switching to battery, which helps extend battery life and maintain efficiency.

This UPS fits into a 2U rack space or can be used as a tower, making it a flexible choice for environments where space is limited. The unit includes six 5-20R outlets for standard devices and one L5-30R outlet for higher power equipment, with an attached L5-30P input cord for easy installation. An LCD screen on the front panel provides real-time information on load, battery health, and runtime, allowing quick status checks.
