APC Smart-UPS On-Line, 5kVA, Rackmount 5U, 208V, 12 5-20R+2 L6-20R+2 L6-30R NEMA, Network Card+SmartSlot, W/ rail kit, W/ transformer 208V to 120V

Overview

The APC SRT5KRMXLT-5KTF is a double conversion online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to deliver 5 kVA (4800 watts) of clean, reliable sine-wave power. It protects critical IT infrastructure such as servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment from power outages and voltage fluctuations. This rackmount UPS occupies 5U of space and includes a rail kit for easy installation in standard 19-inch racks, making it suitable for data centers, branch offices, and edge computing environments.

With a versatile rear panel featuring fifteen outlets, it supports both 120 V and 208 V devices, while an integrated transformer converts 208 V input to 120 V output, enabling mixed-voltage setups without additional hardware. The embedded Network Management Card and SmartSlot provide remote monitoring and control capabilities, ensuring administrators can manage power events effectively.
