Eaton 5PX G2 1500VA 1500W 208V 8xC13 Outlets Line-Interactive UPS

Overview

The Eaton 5PX1500HRTG2 is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to provide 1500 VA or 1500 W of clean, conditioned power at 208 V. It ensures that critical equipment such as servers, network switches, and storage arrays remain operational during power disturbances. The UPS features voltage regulation to correct brownouts and over-voltage without switching to battery, preserving battery life for actual outages. Its compact 2U rack or tower form factor fits well in space-constrained environments like branch offices and small data centers.

Key features

Connectivity and compatibility

This UPS supports connection to multiple devices through its eight C13 outlets, accommodating a range of servers, switches, and storage units. The optional Gigabit network card enhances compatibility with network management systems, allowing IT teams to monitor power status remotely and automate shutdown procedures when necessary. Its 208 V input and output make it suitable for data center and enterprise environments that require stable power at this voltage level.

Performance and reliability

The built-in voltage regulation corrects under- and over-voltage conditions without switching to battery, which extends battery lifespan and ensures power quality. During outages, the UPS switches instantly to battery power, providing enough runtime to either ride through short interruptions or perform a controlled shutdown. Hot-swappable batteries minimize downtime during maintenance, and the option to add external battery modules offers scalable backup capacity for critical applications.

Ideal uses and environments

This UPS is well suited to small data centers, branch offices, and edge computing closets where space is limited but reliable power protection is essential. It supports IT professionals who need to maintain uptime for servers and networking equipment in environments with unstable utility power. The combination of flexible installation, remote management options, and energy efficiency makes it a strong choice for organizations aiming to balance performance with operational costs.
