APC SMTL3000RM2UCNC 3000 VA Lithium‑Ion UPS 120 V

Overview :

The APC SMTL3000RM2UCNC is a line‑interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered to provide conditioned AC power and short‑duration backup for critical IT infrastructure in 120 V single‑phase environments. It is typically deployed by data‑centre engineers, network architects, and infrastructure technicians to support servers, storage arrays, network switches, VoIP/UC systems, and edge compute platforms where battery‑assisted power quality and outage resilience are required.

Rated at 3000 VA / ~2700 W, this UPS uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct utility voltage sags and surges without engaging the battery wherever possible. Under battery support, the unit delivers a pure sine‑wave output, compatible with active PFC power supplies and sensitive electronics. Lithium‑ion battery technology offers extended service life and reduced maintenance compared to lead‑acid alternatives, lowering total cost of ownership in distributed environments.

This UPS installs into a standard 19″ rack at a 2U height and includes rack mounting hardware for quick deployment in server rooms, IDF/MDF closets, and edge cabinets. The design optimises usable rack depth while maintaining battery capacity, making it suitable for high‑density IT racks.

Management and monitoring are provided via SmartConnect Ethernet for secure cloud‑based status and alerting, an integrated Network Management Card (NMC) for enterprise‑class remote control, and USB/serial interfaces for host‑based shutdown signalling. A front‑panel LCD provides real‑time information on load, voltage, and battery condition.

Typical internal runtime supports orderly shutdown procedures or generator handoff during short outages, and the lithium‑ion chemistry ensures faster recharge times and long service life. This UPS is not designed for extended continuous runtime without external expansion solutions, nor for use in 208 V/230 V systems without the appropriate regional model.
